A slew of celebrities did little to liven up the quiet atmosphere as Sunday night’s All-Star Game festivities got underway.
SAN FRANCISCO — Chase Center’s first NBA All-Star Game attracted more than just the 25 official All-Stars and another cadre of rising stars. Actors, singers, influencers and more also gathered Sunday night inside the Warriors’ $1.4 billion, 6-year-old, state-of-the-art gymnasium.
Actor and comedian Kevin Hart tried to ham it up as the event’s emcee, and ultimately it was Steph Curry who would awaken the masses by hitting a half-court shot in a championship game win to help clinch MVP honors.
Fans gave only light applause earlier to Warriors legends Rick Barry, Chris Mullin, Mitch Richmond and Tim Hardaway.
