The 2023 NBA All-Star Game started off incredibly well. From Vin Diesel's player introductions to the opening performances of Post Malone and 21 Savage, the festivities were off to a great start.
The first half ended with Team Giannis taking the lead over Team LeBron with a score of 99-92. As the players took a break from basketball, three artists took over the stage for the halftime show performance. They aren't the mainstream artists that people are accustomed to having as performers. The league opted to have unknown artists have their moment on stage.
At halftime, three Nigerian artists were featured as performers in the 2023 NBA All-Star Game.
