Over the years, many stars have participated in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, including comedians like Kevin Hart and musicians like Common. Bieber is among the select few who have played in the event more than once.

He earned MVP honors in 2011 and returned to the game in 2018, playing alongside celebrities like Nick Cannon, Michael B. Jordan, and former NBA All-Star Tracy McGrady. His 2018 appearance differed from his 2011 performance, as that year's All-Star Weekend was held in Los Angeles with a different format. The teams represented the two NBA franchises based in Los Angeles.

Bieber played for Team Lakers but ultimately lost to Team Clippers, 75-66, contributing four points and going 2-3 from the field.
