The ESPN star will have plenty of athletic advantage with WNBA star Natasha Cloud, NBA veteran Metta Sandiford-Artest, Olympic high jump champion Gianmarco Tamberi, and NFL stars Mecole Hardman Jr. and CJ Stroud in his roster.

While the teams lack no star power, the respective coaching staffs also hold some big names in sports and music. Joining Smith on the sideline are A’Ja Wilson and Lil Wayne. On the other side, Sharpe teams up with Peyton Manning and 50 Cent. 

After the celebrity game wraps up at Lucas Oil Stadium, the Rising Stars showcase will tip off from Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the home of the Indiana Pacers.
