Canadian sprinter and 2016 Olympic medalist Andre De Grasse showed off more than his speed on the court last night at the 2018 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game in Los Angeles. 

De Grasse, who turned to track and field when his high school disbanded its basketball program before his senior year, showed off some pretty slick handles as he racked up a productive stat line: 17 PTS, 6 REB, 4 STL.

Although that was more than good enough for De Grasse show up his countryman, 2011 NBA All-Star Celebrity MVP Justin Bieber (4 PTS, 2 REB), he fell short of Migos component Quavo, who took the mantle this year with 19 points and 5 rebounds.

Check out some of De Grasse's finest moments from the night, which helped Team Clippers take down Team Lakers 75-66:

It was great to see De Grasse showing off his athletic abilities again after missing the 2017 IAAF World Championships due to injury, but we're more excited to see him return to the track for outdoor season and take aim at the 2018 Commonwealth Games from April 4-15.
