Tony Parker, Tracy McGrady, and Ray Allen will headline the NBA Legends Celebrity Game to be held at the Venetian Macao’s Cotai Arena on December 7, 2024.

Sands China, operator of the Venetian Macao, said this aligns with their commitment to integrate tourism and sports as it develops the Venetian Arena. Other NBA stars included are two-time NBA All-Star Stephon Marbury, DeMarcus Cousins, and Cuttino Mobley.

Tony Parker is a four-time NBA champion known for his time with the San Antonio Spurs, while Tracy McGrady, or “T-Mac,” is recognized for his scoring ability and his seven All-Star appearances. Ray Allen, a respected shooter with two championships, is known for his contributions to NBA history. Hong Kong pop stars Sammi Cheng and Raymond Lam will headline the Chinese celebrity team.

The show will also feature an NBA dance team, a “slam dunk show,” and a “shooting and skills challenge.”

“Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the region, and we are delighted to host the NBA Legends Celebrity Game at The Venetian Arena, which we have upgraded and transformed into a dynamic venue that is best in class for live entertainment, sports, and MICE events. This game not only represents our dedication to sports entertainment, it also aligns with Sands’ commitment to integrate tourism and sports,” said Grant Chum, CEO and President of Sands China.
