Nigerian singers headline All-Star game

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that the NBA All-Star game will have an Afrobeats star-studded half-time show this year.

Burna Boy, Tems and Rema will perform in Utah when the NBA All-Stars parade for a game between the East and the West.

The basketball association confirmed the trio of Nigerian singers would headline the highly anticipated event on February 19.

Giannis makes Ja Morant mistake

The 2023 NBA All-Star Draft is done and dusted, with James and Antetokounmpo already selecting their respective rosters ahead of the All-Star Game.

The 'Greek Freak' made a funny mistake though, picking Ja Morant as a reserve for Team Giannis during the draft.

The NBA altered the format days before the draft, with the reserves being picked first instead of the starters, per CBS Sports.
