All-Star Saturday night began with a classic. For the first time since 2012, some of the game’s top players, analysts, and celebrities gathered together to participate in the NBA All-Star ultimate draft.

The “GMs” included basketball experts Jerry West, Dominique Wilkins, Sue Bird, Quavo, D.L. Hughley, Dwyane Wade, Charles Barkley, Shams Charania, and Chris Haynes.

Right away, Dominique Wilkins made things interesting with the very first pick.

That moment kind of illustrated how the rest of the event would go. As the “GMs” made their picks, comments and laughter would ring throughout, and it was a great time for fans and viewers.

Here are a few other highlights from the night:

Quavo team would be the most exciting team to watch #UltimateDraft #NBAAllStar #NBA75

Jerry West is so great on this ultimate draft. So much knowledge and experience #UltimateDraft

I’m watching the Ultimate Draft On TNT and they added 4 Wild cards to the NBA 75 Team

-Bosh
-Mcgrady
-Thompson
-Jokic

How is Dwight not a wildcard? And what did this guy do to get this disrespected???

This #UltimateDraft on @NBAonTNT is really intriguing! Jerry West's squad is super tough, but I like Inside the NBA-Tuesday's squad!

The highlight so far tho is Dominique drafting himself as the #1 overall pick! 😂 Legendary!

Jerry West team might be the best simply because he has Kobe and Melo #NBA75 #UltimateDraft

All of the rosters were full of amazing players, so there was no real winner here. In the end, it was just a fun experience that added some more life to an already great All-Star weekend.

Hopefully, we get to see some more of this going forward.
