Flynn, who claimed MVP honors, delivered a spectacular performance with 22 points, eight rebounds, and five assists for Team Bonds. Rickea Jackson added 16 points in the win.
The Emmy-winning actor recognized for The Bold and the Beautiful and How to Get Away with Murder, had a competitive edge, having trained with renowned skills coach Olin Simplis, who has worked with Kevin Durant and Breanna Stewart.
The actor shared that his teammates pushed him to chase the MVP award. "I'm a team player," he said.
Flynn displayed sharp basketball skills, showcasing strong ball-handling and a smooth jumper, including a deep 35-foot shot from the top of the key.
The NBA returning to Oracle Arena
The NBA returned to the former Oracle Arena for the first time since the Toronto Raptors’ 2019 championship celebration, hosting the Ruffles All-Star Celebrity Game on Friday. The league brought All-Star Weekend excitement to Oakland, with Bay Area sports legends Jerry Rice and Barry Bonds coaching the teams.
NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens paced Team Rice with 18 points, while Olympic high jumper Shelby McEwen added 14. Indo-Canadian singer AP Dhillon made his presence felt with eight points.
McEwen, a silver medalist in the high jump for Team USA at the 2024 Olympics, provided the biggest highlight for Team Rice. He threw down two dunks, including a wind-up slam that looked worthy of Saturday's dunk contest.
The game was evenly matched early, with both teams tied at 10 after the first quarter. However, Team Bonds seized control in the second, outscoring Team Rice 21-16 to gain the edge. The momentum carried into the third, where Team Rice struggled again, allowing the MLB legend's squad to build a 12-point lead heading into the final period.
