For the first time since the Toronto Raptors celebrated a championship in the summer of 2019, an NBA event took place in the former Oracle Arena.

The Ruffles All-Star Celebrity Game was held there Friday as the NBA shared the basketball wealth with Oakland at All-Star Weekend. The teams were coached by a pair of Bay Area legends and all-time greats in their sports — Jerry Rice and Barry Bonds.

Advantage to the Giants slugger: Team Bonds took the victory, 66-55, pulling away in the second half after a defensive struggle.

The MVP was awarded to Rome Flynn, the Emmy-winning actor (“The Bold And The Beautiful”, “How To Get Away With Murder”) and also a bit of a ringer — he has trained with Olin Simplis, who worked with Kevin Durant and Breanna Stewart.

Flynn showed impressive basketball moves, a solid dribble game and a jumper, making one shot from 35 feet near the top of the key.

The highlight for Team Rice was Shelby McEwen, a silver medalist in the high jump for Team USA at the 2024 Olympics. He had a pair of dunks, one of them a wind-up that could’ve ranked in Saturday’s dunk contest.
