The stars are out in Indianapolis on Sunday night, and that extends beyond just the otherworldly talent on the basketball court.
Jennifer Hudson took the stage at halftime of the 2024 NBA All-Star Game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, less than 200 miles from her hometown of Chicago.
The two-time Grammy Award-winner fired up what was an already energized crowd as the East sat on a 104-89 lead at the break. This is the first East vs. West matchup in the NBA All-Star Game since 2017, but the underdog East lost the last three such matchups.
Here’s a look at Jennifer Hudson’s All-Star halftime show and reactions from around the NBA world.
