Win Butler Wins MVP for Drake's Team Canada at NBA All-Star Celebrity Game
Arcade Fire mastermind Win Butler has taken home a crucial trophy—and no, not a GRAMMY Award. The musician was crowned MVP of the Celebrity Game during the Friday (Feb. 12) kick-off of NBA All-Star Weekend, representing Team Canada, coached by Toronto native Drake.
Butler's Canadians squared off against Team USA, coached by actor-comedian Kevin Hart. The MVP dropped 15 points and snatched 14 rebounds—a solid stat line for the alt-rock veteran/ 6' 4" forward, who, as we all know, takes his hoops very seriously. This is Canada's second victory in a row.
As Pitchfork reports, Butler continued his domination even off the court, delivering an award speech that touched on the American election season and healthcare system—before being awkwardly, abruptly cut off by an interviewer.
