The Drop It Like Its Hot singer, however, did not drop enough balls through the hoop as his team of the West Celebrities ultimately fell to the East Celebrities, 60-56.
Snoop let his competitive side shine during the match as he battled against US Education Secretary Arne Duncan through the course of the game.
Ultimately it was Arne who had the most impressive statistics as he racked up 20 points, 11 rebounds, and passed out six assists, which helped to seal the win for his team.

Don't laugh at my frame! As Kevin stands just over just 5ft tall, the 6ft8 former NBA player and coach of the East Celebrities team Jalen Rose had a little bit of fun with the actor

The 20 points put up by Arne was the most that have ever been put up by a celebrity in the game in what some are calling the best performance in the event's history.
The American Education Secretary had such an impressive showing that Ride Along star Kevin Hart gave the Most Valuable Player award to the politician after the game, despite being voted to receive the honour by the fans.



Meanwhile, Nelly, Drake, and Sean Combs were also attending the State Farm All-Star Saturday Night during the NBA All-Star Weekend 2014 at The Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
