Chris Brown Wins MVP At The Sprite BET Celebrity Basketball Game

During the Sprite BET Celebrity Basketball game Chris Brown won MVP. Like a team player Brown gave his MVP Award to Snoop. It was a close game for team Lemon and team Lime but it was team Lemon who took the win with 69-67!

Team Lemon had some good ballers on their team like Snoop, Chris Breezy, Tyga, Bobby Valentino and Doug Christie. The Lime team also had some star players like boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, Flex Alexander, Cedric Savalas and former NFL player Terrell Owens.

Team Lemon had the lead by ten by the end of the first half (38-28) but team Lime caught up quick and tied the game (67-67). The teams had to go into a round called Sudden Death where whomever makes the first basket wins! Team Lemon had the ball first and missed a shot, then team Lime got the ball and missed the shot. The ball fell into Chris Breezy hands but he didn't take the shot. Instead he passed the ball to Doug Christie and he made the shot giving his team the winning point!

Mayweather may be the greatest in the ring but basketball isn't his specialty. He managed to score a couple points but most of the time he was just throwing his muscles around. 

Even though Team Lemon won Owens showed he not only has skills on the football field but also on the basketball court. Owens did play college basketball before he started playing football!

During the Slam Dunk contest it was down to the final three, Globe Trotter, Frequent Flyer and Young Hollywood. At first Flyer and Young Hollywood was tied with 50 points each. After a dunk off between the two Frequent Flyer won the contest but overall it was Young Hollywood who had the best dunk!
