Dwyane Wade made 10/25. Smith wins the celebrity game 3-point contest.

Celebrity game thoughts:
1) Team Dwyane has the better roster on paper
2) 21 Savage loudest cheers?
3) Will Janelle Monae play in her glasses?
4) If Frances Tiafoe doesn’t do some LeBron celebrating I’ll be highly disappointed
5) DK Metcalf is about the same size as Dwyane Wade – 7:13 PM

As expected, Pau Gasol, Dwayne Wade, Tony Parker, Dirk Nowitzki and Gregg Popovich are Hall of Fame finalists. Basically a lock that Parker and Pop will join Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili in Springfield, and 2023 will be the greatest international class in history. – 5:49 PM
