Jimmie Allen and Kane Brown Show Off Basketball Skills at NBA All-Star Weekend

Fellow singers Jimmie Allen and Kane Brown went head-to-head Friday night (2/18) during the Ruffles All-Star Celebrity Game in Cleveland, Ohio.

The game was part of the NBA All-Star weekend, which concluded with the NBA All-Star game on Sunday night. Allen competed on Team Walton alongside Machine Gun Kelly, The Bachelor’s Matt James, Peloton’s Alex Toussaint and others. Brown, on the other hand, competed against Allen on Team Nique. His team members included NFL player Myles Garrett, comedian Tiffany Hadish and others. In the end, Allen’s Team Walton found victory over Team Nique after an electric and energetic game.

Allen shared a few photos from the game as well as his game stats, which reveal that he earned 21 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds for his team. The singer also jokes that the game “had me thinking I was (NBA player) Steph Curry.”

“Then I looked at my bank account and realized I AM NOT HIM,” he added, with laughing emojis.

Allen also posted a humorous clip in which former NBA players and current ESPN analysts Kendrick Perkins and Richard Jefferson praised his performance.

Allen and his wife, Alexis, also posted various photos from the weekend.

Although Brown has yet to comment on the game, his wife Katelyn shared a post that includes a photo of her with Allen’s wife and a photo of Brown on the court.

“Basketball Wives for a day,” she wrote.
