R&B singer Anthony Hamilton delivered the national anthem ahead of the 68th NBA All-Star Game on Sunday in Charlotte, N.C.
The 17-time Grammy nominated artist earned acclaim for his performance.
Carly Rae Jepsen sang the Candian national anthem, "O Canada."
Ahead of the game, rapper Meek Mill performed "Dreams and Nightmares."
The NBA All-Star game will feature Team LeBron and Team Giannis. The East vs. West format was replaced last year as the teams are now led by captains who picked teams in a playground-style draft. The captains are the two leading vote-getters—LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo in this year's case.
