It was a Bay Area showcase at the NBA All-Star Game. DJ Cassidy’s Pass The Mic Live! delivered a tribute to the Bay with a West Coast-themed 2025 NBA All-Star Game Halftime Show on Sunday night (Feb. 16) inside San Francisco’s Chase Center.
Repping The Town, DJ Cassidy served as the orchestrator when inviting E-40 to kick things off with his “Tell Me When to Go.” The Warriors superfan tagged in his Bay Area partner Too Short to take the party to another level with his “Blow the Whistle” anthem.
Saweetie drew the biggest pop of the night from the crowd as she dazzled alongside the Golden Warriors dancers for a seamless transition into her top 20 Billboard Hot 100 smash “Tap In.”
Draped in a sparking Warriors-themed tracksuit, she performed “Best Friend” sans Doja Cat, but made sure to flip some lyrics to fit The Bay Area theme. “Is that my bestie in The Bay,” Saweetie cheekily raps.
Oakland’s own En Vogue saved the best for last as they stormed out of the tunnel like a starting lineup to perform their “My Lovin’” hit. The Warriors dance team showed off their suave choreography while The Bay Area ensemble reunited at midcourt to bring the celebratory set to a close.

Kevin Hart served as the first-ever official All-Star emcee and Raphael Saadiq welcomed the players to the court with a soulful introduction performance to set the tone for the night alongside a classical 14-piece live band.
The NBA innovated its All-Star Game format with three All-Star teams facing off in a bracket-style tournament with the Rising Stars winners.
Inside The NBA hosts Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny “The Jet” Smith and Charles Barkley each helmed a team as Shaq’s OGs — led by hometown hero and Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry — throttled Chuck’s Global Stars in the final match-up of the 74th NBA All-Star Game by a score of 41-25 to take home the title. The OGs were paced by Jayson Tatum’s 15 points while Curry poured in 12 points including a half-court shot.
