8:28 p.m. - THEY'RE OVER. Bless up. On to the anthem songs now.
8:23 p.m. - I think this intro might set a world record because it's never going to end.
8:20 p.m. - Basically everyone got a buzzcut over the weekend. Shouts Kemba Walker and Kevin Durant.
8:18 p.m. - Kevin Hart is here doing intros. He's really short compared to the NBA dudes.
8:15 p.m. - It's over everyone, let's be thankful there's no Act Four.
8:12 p.m. - LUDACRIS is here for Act Three because of course there is an Act Three.
8:08 p.m. - THERE'S A SECOND ACT? Adam Devine is out here with Queen Latifah. Rob Riggle is on guitar. Folks, what is this? I'm not sure if I like it, but I just want to know who else they're gonna bring out.
8:05 p.m. - What is happening!?! Jamie Foxx is out here rapping in a cowboy outfit next to Rob Riggle and Kevin Hart.
7:30 p.m. - Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are having a pregame conversation. Looks like they're ready to push the drama aside for a night as they're minutes from sharing the court on the same team!
6:06 p.m. - LeBron is making a statement with his shoes for the night. They read "More than an athlete," which is a reference to the FOX News host who suggested he "shut up and dribble."
The 2018 NBA All-Star Game will look much different from years past. This year, the NBA adopted a draft-style format when selecting All-Star teams. The two team captains, LeBron James and Stephen Curry, were determined by who generated the most votes. Now, Team LeBron and Team Stephen will clash at 8 p.m. ET on TNT (live stream).
The starters were selected by fans, media, and NBA players, while the head coaches for this game selected the pool of reserve players who were drafted. Toronto's Dwane Casey will be in charge of Team LeBron, and Houston's Mike D'Antoni will lead Team Stephen.
Team LeBron includes Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, and Russell Westbrook. But Curry's team doesn't lack star power. DeMar DeRozan, James Harden, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Joel Embiid will play alongside Curry.
What makes this game even better is that both sides will play for a charity. Team LeBron will play for After-School All-Stars Los Angeles, while Team Curry will represent Brotherhood Crusade.
