The Annual Celebrity Basketball Extravaganza is back for the fourth time. ESPN, Channel O and Yfm have joined forces to bring celebrities, journalists and professional basketball players together to flex their skills on the court.

The event takes place at the Galleria parking lot in Rosebank from 11am on Saturday. Quite a few big names in South African entertainment will form part of the Channel O and Yfm teams, who will go head to head vying for pole position.

The celebs include actors Clint Brink and Luthuli Dlamini, comedian Loyiso Gola, soccer star Maimame Phiri and musicians Slikour (of Skwatta Kamp) and Jub Jub.

While sitting on the side cheering the players on (or commentating and swearing you could do better than the famous face with butter fingers) or participating in the interactive challenges, the crowd will be treated to DJ's Jawz and Zan-D on the ones and twos.

This will take place in between live performances by South African Music Award nominees Morafe and their honorary group member Mo Molimi while Channel O's Dance Africa contestants will be strutting their stuff.

The professionals will also be present, courtesy of ESPN, to demonstrate some b-ball moves and prove why they earn the big bucks.

Then all roads lead to Wynberg's Club 676 where the after party will be set on fire by Pro (the artist formerly known as ProKid), Morafe and Mandla Spikiri.

Jawz and Zan-D also return to the decks with DJ's C-Live and Black Coffee.
