The “Unlock a Legend” feature will also be returning, giving players the ability to add a legendary NBA player to their team mid-game.
Liu has been training hard, with him taking to Instagram to share a video of him on the court.
He wrote, “It’s an honour to be selected to the 2023 @NBAAllStar Celeb Game. see you guys in Salt Lake City 🏀”
The confident “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings ” star said in the video, “I might be calling it too soon but your boy might be MVP, who knows?”
