Wearing a bright green sweatsuit accented with
rhinestones, Cee Lo arrived near the stage on the back of a golf cart, talking
on his cell phone. After performing with his all-female band, he sat courtside
to watch the slam dunk contest. Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers had
the crowd oohing when he dunked over a car to win the title.
Among the other
celebs watching the shooting stars and skill challenge were John Legend and
girlfriend-model Chrissy Teigen, Terrell Owens, Spike Lee, boxer Floyd
Mayweather, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Lenny Kravitz, Jimmy Jam, Cuba
Gooding Jr., Chris Tucker, and Penny Marshall. Wearing a Boston Red Sox cap, Mark
Wahlberg sat courtside with his son.
NBA great Bill Russell and Shaquille
O'Neal of the Boston Celtics were there, too. Keri Hilson sang the US national
anthem, while Canadian R and amp;B/soul singer Aion Clarke performed the
Canadian anthem. Hip-hop group Far East Movement kicked off the slam dunk
contest with their single "Rocketeer."
