NBA All-Star 2020: Quavo lights up basketball court in New York alongside Drake, Justin Bieber
While Drake and Justin Bieber will not feature in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, Quavo is one of the many star names on the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game roster. Earlier this week, rapper Quavo was pictured practising at a basketball court in New York as the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game approaches. Interestingly, Quavo was the Celebrity All-Star MVP the season before last. In that game, Quavo scored a game-high 19 points. He also contributed five rebounds, three assists and two steals in that game. Before the All-Star Celebrity Game that year, Quavo accompanied Drake on the 43-date Aubrey & The Three Migos Tour at the end of 2018. During that tour, Quavo and Drake reportedly played basketball to stay in shape for the tour.
