When it comes to styling a 6-foot-10 athlete, fit can often become the biggest challenge. Just ask Bobby Wesley, a personal stylist who counts Paolo Banchero among his celebrity clients. Wesley worked with Banchero during the 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend, where the Orlando Magic forward rocked a number of eye-catching looks for Kevin Durant’s Brunch, his Rising Star tunnel walk, and a courtside […]
Simu Liu participated in the 2023 Ruffles NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on Friday in Utah and seemed to have a great time outside of one moment.

Jarrett Allen went for comfort over flair to kick off his first-ever All-Star Weekend, and people reacted loudly enough on social media to draw a response from the Cavs center.

Remember when people were whining about the new NBA All-Star Game format? Yeah, that didn’t last long. After three high-flying but loosely defended quarters, both Team Giannis and Team LeBron locked it down in the fourth, for what became a thrilling, hard-fought race to 157 points. In the end, Team LeBron won 157-155, after Anthony […]
Many of the pregame festivities that took place prior to the NBA All-Star Game earned rave (or at the least very positive) reviews, including Jennifer Hudson’s Kobe tribute, and Dr. Dre’s own Kobe tribute. Unfortunately (hey, we all have bad days), Chaka Khan’s rendition of the national anthem didn’t inspire the same fanfare. If you missed […]
Prior to Sunday night’s All-Star Game, Jennifer Hudson performed a special planned tribute to Kobe Bryant. Hudson delivered a stirring rendition of Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway‘s 1972 hit, “For All We Know.” The performance was announced by the league on Thursday, as this year’s ASG took place at Chicago’s United Center. Note that Chicago is Hudson’s hometown: Hudson’s […]
