In Friday's NBA Celebrity All-Star Game, Metcalf blew past his competition en route to winning the game MVP.

The game wasn't without drama as WWE Wrestler The Miz almost scored a game-winning buzzer-beater for Team Ryan.

Nonetheless, the second-most star-studded All-Star Celebrity Game lived up to its expectations of drama, blitz, flying and some decent hooping with Metcalf being the highlight.

Considering the popularity Metcalf has gained since entering the league due to his chiseled figure and freakish athleticism, it's come as little surprise that he was able to jump out of the gym on Friday.

Short celebrities like Jimmy Kimmel Live's Guillermo Rodriguez weren't going to make a huge defensive impact in the paint.

But that still makes it hard to deny how nice some of these LeBron-like dunks were from Metcalf:

It all started from the opening points of the game, and Metcalf never looked back. In a game where he was a god amongst the people, he didn't let up. Take it easy? No thanks.

While the dunks were flashy, Metcalf made his presence know as a shot-blocker, making some emphatic stuffs as Team Dwyane's rim-protector.

Safe to say Metcalf was the entertainment of the night and a great choice by the NBA to participate in the event. He and the Seahawks will aim to make some slam-dunk strides this offseason as they look to build off their surprising 2022 postseason appearance.
