Welcome to Young Hollywood. What's up guys? Leslie Robbins here for Young Hollywood, coming to you from the NBA All-Star Celebrity Basketball game, where we got Justin Bieber and a bunch of celebrities playing basketball.
Coach K, I like to be called.
Now, I saw your clipboard. You wanna show the people what you're doing in there?
Uh, well, I've drawn up a play, and, um, here it is. It's a basketball. And I start with the basketball and I go from there.
Uh, what are you looking for out on the court today?
I'm looking for the uh, tall guys.
So who are some of the guys you have on your team?
Uh, well, I got, um, I got Zach Levi. Uh, Magic is uh, coach with me, so that's cool. I got, um, Jaylen Rose, I got AC Green.
Who's your key guy? Who are you looking to like score the most?
Um, well, I think you got to go with the NBA players. I mean, they're the best ones.
We got Zach Levi here, center court. How are you preparing for the game?
Just try not to be intimidated by all the talent that I have on my team already and, uh, just shooting around, shooting hoops, getting winded. That's not a good sign. If you're tired just from shooting around for five minutes, that's probably not a good sign.
Well, you got the height going for you. I mean, what do you think?
I, I, I'm, I'm a tall actor. I'm not a tall basketball player. Look at Jaylen Rose. Look at Magic Johnson, look at AC Green. They're monsters, they're huge men. Bill Walton, not that Bill's playing or Magic. Well, the point is though, I can't even keep a conversation. I'm so tired. Uh, I'm just gonna play the best I can, you know.
And if it wasn't basketball we were playing, what sport would it be?
Oh, I don't know. Ping pong, maybe?
It's okay. I know, so similar, really. Valash, you watching her man Rick Fox out there. How do you think he's doing?
I just got here. He's doing great though, always. Come on.
Now, is your man superstitious before a game? Is there something he will not do, or something he has to do?
I did give him a kiss when I walked in though, some of these guys are like, dude, you don't do that. You don't kiss before the game. It's like, nah.
Now, if you could give him any advice out on that court, what would it be?
To take the flip cams out of his socks. I just looked over and my baby's got flip cam stuffed in his socks, so he hasn't missed a minute of digital content, if I, I get it, but I'm gonna rip that thing out of your clutches.
But it might get some good footage, what do you think?
I mean, there's a time and a place. Babe, come on.
Mr. Jason Alexander. What are you bringing to the bench for your boys? What's happening?
Well, I think the 33-21 score speaks for itself. And it has all to do, I think, with my pre-show conversation with the Lord. I went right, I led the spiritual circle, and I think it meant everything.
How does that prayer go?
It went, Oh God help us.
So if basketball isn't your sport, what is your sport?
Believe it or not, if you're asking seriously, I was a martial arts guy.
You gotta show me a move in, right now. Choke me. Choke me. Go ahead.
Ah. Here's what I do. I don't hit you. That would be bad. Hands up in the air. Turns, man. Ow. Doesn't matter if you're as big as some of those guys, it's still the same move.
Romeo, amazing game. How do you feel?
They told me not to play 'til the second half, you know. And Scotty Pippen's playing the whole game, but you know, we had fun. We went on there. I think, then we went. This is all fun and games, you know. We didn't want to give 'em too much, you know. I didn't wanna break Scotty's ankles out there.
Well, yeah. So is basketball your sport off the court?
Yeah, that's what I do. This is my first year not playing college basketball, you know. And I was excited just to be here and go have some fun with my friends.
Is it really your first year playing?
Yeah, first year not playing basketball ever. Like I played college basketball, the top high school team with Demar DeRozan, Brandon Jennings, Derrick Rose, so this is my first year, and that's why I was able to play tonight.
