Rome Flynn Shines as MVP in 2025 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game
Rome Flynn, the actor known for his roles in How to Get Away with Murder and Chicago Fire, was crowned MVP of the 2025 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game after leading Team Bonds to a 66-55 victory over Team Rice. Flynn scored 22 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and dished out five assists in the game, which took place on February 14, 2025, in Oakland, California. Team Bonds was coached by baseball legend Barry Bonds, while Team Rice was led by football icon Jerry Rice. Flynn credited his teammates for encouraging him to pursue the MVP honor, stating, “I’m a team player.”
The celebrity game kicked off the All-Star Friday events, which also included the Rising Stars competition at San Francisco’s Chase Center. Flynn’s standout performance highlighted his versatility beyond acting, showcasing his athleticism on the court.
In other news, Flynn’s departure from Chicago Fire after just six episodes in season 12 was clarified. Contrary to rumors, his exit was not due to scheduling conflicts or a move to another show. Flynn explained that his character, Derrick Gibson, was always intended to have a short arc. Gibson, a former boxer grappling with personal trauma, left Firehouse 51 to seek treatment for his struggles, leaving the door open for a potential return. Flynn expressed his enjoyment of the role and openness to revisiting the character in the future.
Flynn continues to balance his acting career with his athletic pursuits, proving his talent extends beyond the screen.
