2019 NBA All Star Weekend Celebrity Parties
The 2019 NBA all star weekend celebrity parties are going to be a major event in Charlotte, NC. When the NBA announced Charlotte as the host city for the 2019 all star game, speculation mounted about which celebrities would attend the event. After all, outside of the Super Bowl, no other sporting event held by one of the four major professional American sports leagues attracts more celebrities than what the NBA all star game attracts.
Why Charlotte is a Good Fit for the NBA
The city of Charlotte has spent millions of dollars upgrading infrastructure in the city, especially in uptown where most of the 2019 all star weekend celebrity parties will take place. Several hotels offer large ballrooms and small conference rooms where celebrities either host or attend 2019 all star weekend parties. For more intimate gatherings, Charlotte teems with culinary excellence. Many of the restaurants operating in Uptown set aside private dining areas, which are the perfect venues for 2019 all star weekend celebrity parties. Charlotte also makes perfect sense for hosting the 2019 NBA all star game because the state is a hotbed for basketball aficionados. Duke and the University of North Carolina perennially sit at the top of the NCAA college basketball rankings. Of course, the “Queen City” is home to perhaps the greatest NBA player of all time, Michael Jordan.
NBA All Star Celebrity Game
Comedian Kevin Hart has made watching the NBA celebrity game must see television. However, the actor was not available in 2018 and in his place Academy Award winning actor Jamie Foxx stole center stage. Celebrities that played in the 2018 version of the NBA all star celebrity game included musician Quavo and Olympian Andre DeGrasse. Quavo played football in high school and DeGrasse is the possible heir apparent to world record holder Usain Bolt. Rachel Demita, who hosts the NBA 2K show, flashed her shooting prowess by scoring 17 points from long range. Virtually every celebrity playing in the game attended one of the 2019 all star weekend parties.
