While watching our favorite Star Magic heartthrobs play basketball was already enough reason for us to anticipate the Star Magic All-Star Games annually, ardent supporters of the country’s biggest vlogger group Team Payaman were thrilled when it was announced that they would take part as well of this year’s iteration, which took place at the Araneta Coliseum on Sunday, June 2.
Representing Star Magic for the first basketball game is the Team Shooting Stars Blue comprised of Seth Fedelin, DJ Jimmy Nocon, Tan Roncal, Isaiah dela Cruz, Dustine Mayores, River Joseph, Kobie Brown, LA Santos, Joao Constancia and BGYO Mikki Claver, with Donny Pangilinan and Ronnie Alonte as the frontrunners.
On the other hand, premier content creator and Team Payaman leader Cong Velasquez served as the playing coach of Cong’s Anbilibabol Basketball Team, which included fellow You Burong, Nelson Mendoza, Dudut, Boss Keng, Steve, Matthaios, Carding Magsino, Junnie Boy, Mentos, Bok, Cris Lagudas, and Yow.
Donny, Ronnie, River, Nelson, and Criss formed the Mythical 5 of the first game, with Ronnie taking home the MVP title.
