The NBA is pulling out all the stops for the 2026 All-Star weekend. In a recent post on Instagram, the world's best basketball league announced that former NSYNC member, Joey Fatone, will be performing for the NBA's Courtside Concert. The performance will take place at the NBA Crossover event.

"More music coming soon NBA All-Star Weekend in L.A!" the caption read. "@twofriends, @gelo, @realjoeyfatone and Friends and @djpaulyd are all set to perform at Hardwood Central at NBA Crossover!"
Fatone will be joined by other artists such as LaMelo and Lonzo Ball's brother, LiAngelo Ball, Two Friends and DJ Pauly D.
NSYNC still has a massive global fanbase. The NBA is clearly trying to appeal to the masses with the wide array of talent they've recruited for their crossover event. 90s basketball fans are some of the most passionate in the world, endlessly defending Michael Jordan in "GOAT" debates. So it tracks that Commissioner Adam Silver would make a move to appeal to that crowd.
Fatone's addition completes the NBA's Crossover event. There will be three other headlining acts throughout the weekend. CORTIS, Ludacris and Shaboozey are the other three huge names to be announced.
Lebron James' 21-Year Run as an NBA All-Star Starter Comes to an End
LeBron James has been an All-Star starter for the past 21 years. However, in his age-41 season, he missed out on that feat. Part of his snub is likely due to missing the opening months of the season. And, of course, the continued emergence of young and exciting talent.
However, currently injured NBA superstar Jayson Tatum believes that if this is LeBron's last year in the league, one of the more veteran starters might give up their place for the transcendent star.
"I do think if he gets put in by the coaches, and you know, if it is his last year, like they did with MJ on his last year, I think Vince Carter gave up his starting spot," Tatum said on a recent appearance on "The Pivot" podcast. "I think that's just like the right thing to do."
We've all seen LeBron posting videos of him trying to sing along to popular songs. So, what better way to experience All-Star weekend than to see him try and mouth the words to whatever tracks Fatone decides to go with for his set?
