BETX Celebrity Basketball Game: Get Ready for Some Serious Airtime
Mark your calendars, set your alarms, and tell Siri to remind you (multiple times, just in case) because this is one event you can’t afford to sleep on.
Date & Time
Saturday, June , P.M. PST
Location
BETX Court, Los Angeles Convention Center
The Ultimate Face-Off: Hoops and Hip-Hop Collide
This ain’t your mama’s basketball game (unless your mama is ridiculously cool and happens to be friends with some A-list celebs). We’re talking about a star-studded showdown featuring some of the biggest names in music, sports, and entertainment.
Team Captains
Leading the charge this year are two titans of the game:
- Wallo: Podcast king, entrepreneur, and all-around legend.
- Gillie Da King: The other half of the “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” dynamic duo, known for his hilarious commentary and no-holds-barred approach.
Players
Hold on to your hats, folks, because the player roster reads like a who’s who of the culture:
- Musicians: Get ready for some serious courtside vibes with performances by Kyle Richh, Jenn Carter & Tata, Dugg, BATZ, Babyface Ray, Flau’Jae Johnson, G Herbo, Hunxho, J Valentine, Lil Mama, Lola Brooke, Luh Tyler, Marsha Ambrosius, NLE Choppa, Rob, Sada Baby, Skilla Baby, TBOSS, Toosii, and more fire talent to be announced. Let’s just say, they’re bringing the heat both on and off the court.
- Athletes: Adding some serious athletic prowess to the mix are NFL superstar DeSean Jackson and former NFL tight end Devale Ellis. These guys aren’t afraid to ball out.
- Celebrities: Rounding out the rosters are actress and influencer Danielle Miller and comedian and actor DC Young Fly. They’re here to prove that they’re more than just pretty faces – they came to play!
Coaching Staff
Keeping all that talent in check will be NBA veteran Kenyon Martin and his equally talented son, Kenyon Martin Jr. Talk about a father-son duo that knows how to dominate the game!
More Than Just a Game: It’s a Whole Vibe
Don’t think for a second that this is just about basketball. The BETX Celebrity Basketball Game is an experience. We’re talking live musical performances, surprise guests, and enough energy to power a small city.
Musical Performances

Special Guests
