The home team, which will be coached by ESPN's Michael Wilbon, will field players like Common, Bad Bunny and last season's MVP, Famous Los. ESPN's Stephen A. Smith will coach the away team, which will be led by Chicago native and three-time Grammy Award winner Chance the Rapper, Anthony "Spice" Adams and Quavo.
The 10 starters – two guards and three frontcourt players per conference – are chosen by a combination of fans (50 percent of the vote), current players (25 percent) and basketball media (25 percent). The players and media were granted a vote in 2017 – only fans selected the starting lineup before then.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis was named the 2020 American League Rookie of the Year on Monday night. He beat out White Sox outfielder Luis Robert and Astros righty Cristian Javier for the award. Lewis received all of the 30 first-place votes.
No player has ever won the MVP Award in a season in which DH was his primary position. The closest Major League Baseball has ever come to a DH as MVP was Don Baylor's AL win in 1979, when he started 97 games in the outfield and 65 as the Angels' DH. The best MVP argument of the bunch belongs to Ortiz in 2006.
What Mets first baseman Pete Alonso and Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez did in 2019 was historic, and their efforts were rightly recognized Monday night with runaway wins in the National League and American League Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year Award voting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Only two players have been named Rookie of the Year and MVP in the same year; Fred Lynn in 1975 and Ichiro Suzuki in 2001, both in the American League.

For the first time since World War II, Major League Baseball's All-Star Game will not be played in 2020, due to health circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic, MLB announced on Friday. The 2022 All-Star celebration promises to be a memorable one with events throughout the city and at picturesque Dodger Stadium.”
There were two All-Star Games played each season from 1959 through 1962. The second game was added to raise money for the MLB players' pension funds, as well as other causes. The experiment was later abandoned on the grounds that having two games watered down the appeal of the event.
