Among other notable names, the event will feature Canadian actor Simu Liu (most popular for his role in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) and Taiwanese-American professional basketball player Jeremy Lin (former NBA player, currently plays for New Taipei Kings).

Toast, of course, isn't the only streamer who has recently made basketball and celebrity collaborations. Fellow streamer Darren "IShowSpeed" recently uploaded a video of him going 1v1 against NBA star Kevin Durant.

YouTube streamer Ludwig also took on a solo basketball stream, where he challenged himself to shoot 1000 three-pointers. Despite initial challenges, he managed to accomplish it.
