We know he's got talent when it comes to singing and dancing, but does Justin Bieber also have enough skiils to be named the Most Valuable Player on the basketball court?

Never say never.

Bieber fever came on top, with the 16-year-old Grammy nominee voted as the game's Most Valuable Player at the 2011 BBVA NBA Celebrity All-Star Game yesterday.

And, it wasn't technically just a popularity advantage.

The Biebs played with the West, scoring eight points to go along with four assists. And even though his team lost, he, "drew the loudest cheers with his ballhandling, a few slick passes and several glances toward the crowd," a statement said.

He was even getting props on twitter! Sal Masekela tweeted—"Damn. @Common almost had his ankle broke by the Bieber."

Between pulling fast breaks and some courtside recognition, JB also kept his followers on Twitter up-to-date, tweeting—"13 hours on a plane...we land...go straight to the court...yeah we go hard!! 2nd half is about to get serious. #bbvaceleb"

So let's get this straight. Bieber is dominating the music scene, the box office, girls' hearts everywhere and he's a baller!

Now we know.

Oh, and Bieber fans do have something else to look forward to. Our shaggy-haired friend tweets— "That was fun. Crazy being coached by @magicjohnson - gonna auction off my jersey for charity at www.bieberfever.com"

Eeek!

So how did Biebs end his night as MVP?

He took everyone out to see Never Say Never. Cute.
