The stars came out, but it was Hunxho who owned the night.
The 2026 BIG3 Celebrity Game brought music, sports and entertainment together Saturday night at American Airlines Center in Dallas, where Ice Cube’s squad walked away with the victory and recording artist Hunxho took home MVP honors after delivering a monster performance.
Playing under the guidance of BIG3 co-founder Ice Cube, Hunxho stuffed the stat sheet with 17 points and 20 rebounds, emerging as the difference-maker in a game packed with familiar faces from the worlds of hip-hop, sports and social media.
Basketball legend Clyde Drexler coached the opposing squad, adding another layer of star power to an event designed to blur the lines between celebrity culture and competitive basketball.
The celebrity lineup featured former NFL star Chad “OchoCinco” Johnson, Gillie Da King, Wallo267, Jimmy Sotos, D’Aydrian Harding, Bobby Taylor, Russ, Dakota Gonzalez, Dylan Gonzalez and Key Glock.
But when the final buzzer sounded, it was Hunxho’s all-around performance that stood above the rest.
With 17 points and 20 rebounds, the Atlanta rapper made his presence felt on both ends of the floor and secured the game’s top individual honor.
For the BIG3, the celebrity matchup once again delivered the kind of crossover appeal that has become a signature of the league — bringing together professional athletes, recording artists, entertainers and internet personalities for a night where competition and culture share the same court.
And in Dallas, Hunxho made sure the spotlight belonged to him.
