  • 2 Chainz posted on social media to show what he brought home from the NBA All-Star Game
  • The rapper got Team Giannis member Ja Morant’s game-worn jersey as a gift to his son Halo
  • The six-year-old boy got Luka Doncic’s game-worn jersey in the NBA playoffs last year

2 Chainz’s trip to Salt Lake City, Utah, for the 2023 NBA All-Star Game was a huge success.

Not only did the rapper witness Jayson Tatum post a scoring record in the exhibition, but he also managed to secure a one-of-a-kind souvenir after the game.

The Atlanta-bred star revealed on his Instagram account that he snagged Ja Morant’s game-worn All-Star jersey.

Morant, a doting dad to his daughter Kaari, could not refuse 2 Chainz on his appeal to bring home a gift to his beloved son.

Halo's jersey collection is growing

Halo is a massive fan of Morant, with the 6-year-old kid specifically asking his dad to nab Morant’s All-Star kit.

This is not the first time Halo got a prized jersey from one of the NBA’s biggest stars. 2 Chainz’s son made headlines last year when he got to take home Luka Doncic’s game-worn jersey after the Dallas Mavericks’ playoff matchup with the Phoenix Suns.

Morant thrills with All-Star dunks

Halo must have liked what he saw in the All-Star Game from his idol, with Morant scoring an insane double-pump reverse dunk in the first quarter.

Morant electrified the crowd with his aerial acrobatics; reigniting calls for him to join the Slam Dunk Contest in the future.

The Memphis Grizzlies star appears lukewarm to that idea, saying during his media availability on Saturday that he is not doing the dunk contest.

McClung wins Slam Dunk contest

Speaking of the dunk contest, Sports Brief recently reported on Mac McClung winning the All-Star event.

McClung dazzled the Utah crowd, posting perfect scores in three of his four dunks. He scored a pair of 50s in the final round to beat Trey Murphy III of the New Orleans Pelicans.

McClung told everybody that the Slam Dunk title was his, doing Vince Carter's "It's over" celebration after his final jam.
