If you were watching the NBA All-Star Celebrity game in New Orleans, you would have noticed a young man on the court who came up with the biggest play of the game.
14-year-old Jarrius Robertson from New Orleans is battling a chronic liver disease called biliary atresia and was invited to take part in the All-star weekend, but he got involved more than he expected.
Robertson joined the West celebrities in the fourth quarter of the celebrity match and made an immediate impact. He got the ball and launched a shot which drew a loud cheer from the New Orleans crowd.
Robertson is well known in New Orleans and is a massive fan of the New Orleans Saints NFL franchise.
Just before entering the court, Golden State Warriors all-star Draymond Green told Robertson he had too score and he delivered.
The Eastern celebrity All-stars went on to win the match 88-59. Brandon Armstrong won the MVP award with 16 points and 15 rebounds, but many think Robertson was robbed of the award.
