The 2025 Ruffles NBA All-Star Celebrity Game was an absolute highlight, sparking buzz across social media platforms. This year’s event, held on February 14 as part of NBA All-Star Weekend in San Francisco, was packed with entertainment, thanks to personalities like Druski, Kai Cenat, Shaboozey, Baron Davis, and more. While the game was light on skill, it was full of energy and fun, with social media influencers and streamers like Cenat and Druski bringing in major viewership.
Druski had fans in stitches as he documented the event online, sharing a clip where he humorously expressed his surprise at not winning MVP, despite only scoring four points. His playful response to the low score? He was “sick” and claimed it was his Michael Jordan “Flu Game.” While Jordan famously led his team to victory with 38 points in the 1997 NBA Finals, Druski’s “flu game” fell a little short. Fans couldn’t help but joke about his performance, adding to the fun of the event.

With the NBA Slam Dunk Contest and All-Star Game losing some of their shine in recent years, the league has leaned on events like the Celebrity Game and 3-Point Contest to maintain fan interest. However, the lack of star power in smaller markets like Cleveland, Salt Lake City, and Indianapolis has caused some buzz. The 2026 All-Star Weekend should be a big draw, though, with the event returning to Los Angeles at the Clippers’ new Intuit Dome, ensuring a star-studded lineup.
This year’s NBA All-Star Game also features some top-notch performers, including DJ Cassidy, E-40, Too Short, Saweetie, En Vogue, LiAngelo Ball, and Raphael Saadiq. It’ll be interesting to see how LiAngelo’s track “Tweaker” is received by fans, as his last live performance was during the NFL playoffs at the Detroit Lions vs. Washington Commanders game in January.
Stay tuned for more highlights from this unforgettable weekend!
