Powerball winner scoops $1.817 billion jackpot on Christmas Eve, but nobody knows who they are yet
No matter the fame level of those participating, each celebrity is eager to showcase their basketball skills.
Among the stars on the court was AP Dhillon, a multifaceted artist known for his rapping, singing, and record producing. During the game, Dhillon managed to score several points. In a lively second-quarter interview with broadcasters Mark Jones and Richard Jefferson, he shared his enthusiasm for demonstrating his basketball abilities, admitting he might have gotten a bit too enthusiastic.
AP Dhillon: They were like, does this guy even know how to dribble. Is he gonna double dribble? So I’m here to show like, “Yeah we FUCK — oh my bad.”
Mark Jones: That was a double dribble.
Richard Jefferson: Shaq just texted me and said you don’t have to apologize. pic.twitter.com/qNN5JDGcWw

“Does this guy even know how to dribble,” Dhillon joked. “Is he gonna double-dribble? So I’m here to show like yeah, f———oh, my bad.”
The audience and commentators found Dhillon’s candid moment amusing, with Richard Jefferson noting that Shaquille O’Neal had even sent a text advising him not to apologize. This came after Shaq himself had used not-safe-for-work language during TNT’s NBA coverage the previous night, shortly before his major new contract with the network was publicized.
Clearly, not apologizing was the right choice in this instance.
