Last night, FLA Arena in Sunrise was the perfect place to watch the first ever Wooshi World Celebrity Basketball Classic which attracted a star-studded crowd. The event, hosted by digital influencer Wooshi, featured two teams made up of celebrities and real basketball players.
“The Real Housewives of Miami” star Larsa Pippen hit the red carpet and expressed her excitement about watching her girlfriends play basketball. Her co-stars from the show also came ready to play, with Alexia Echevarria wearing her Jordans and Guerdy Abraira ready to slay.
Real basketball players like Davon Reed of the LA Lakers and Monte Morris of the Washington Wizards were also on hand to coach and give advice to the players.
While there was certainly some friendly competition between the celebrities, the real winner of the evening was the Make-A-Wish Foundation, as all proceeds from the event were donated to the organization. And in the end, it was Team Jordan, led by Michael Jordan’s son Marcus, who emerged victorious.
It was a night of fun and games for a good cause, during which R&B singer Jacquees said: “If I win tonight, it’ll be just another win for the books. We’re used to winning. We don’t like to lose,” and country star Jimmie Allen brings his A-game to the field.
