Final Score and MVP Prediction

Baron Davis averaged 16.1 points per game and 7.2 assists across his 16-year NBA career. The two-time All-Star has not played in the NBA since 2012. However, he could have an MVP-caliber performance on Friday night.

Other names to keep an eye are 2017 NBA champion Matt Barnes, Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray, and basketball trainer Chris Brickley.

Barnes averaged just 7.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in his final NBA season in 2016-17. Gray has averaged a career-high 17.1 points per game with Atlanta in the 2023 season and 15.6 points per game last season with the Dream, while Brickley has trained with some of the NBA’s most-talented players.

Terrell Owens in the wild-card factor for Team Rice. He’s a natural athlete. T.O. can play any sport. Throw Barnes and Thornton into the mix, and Team Rice has an edge against Team Bonds.

Since Davis hasn’t played in the NBA since the 2011-12 campaign, Barnes is more likely to lead the stat sheet.

NBA All-Star Celebrity Game MVP: Matt Barnes

NBA All-Star Celebrity Game Final Score: Team Rice Over Team Bonds, 92-84
