2 Chainz and Snoop Dogg are about to have a massive game against each other.

2 Chainz is arguably one of the best rapper/basketball players right now. The man went to school on a basketball scholarship and has continuously shown his skills on the court on Instagram and Twitter. So it should come as no surprise that he'll be leading a team at the Adidas celebrity NBA All-Star game. Earlier today, Adidas revealed the line-up for both Snoop Dogg and 2 Chainz team. However, it looks like 2 Chainz had some minor changes he had to pull off before the big game.

2 Chainz hit Instagram to reveal that he had made some changes done to his team. "Traded out a cpl players, got my team ready Now @snoopdogg," he wrote in the caption. The rapper maintained some of the same players but definitely swapped a good chunk of them out. On 2 Chainz East coast team, he has Quavo, Young Dolph, Machine Gun Kelly, Wale, YFN Lucci, Jadakiss, Trinidad James, Young MA, Lil Bibby, Lil Dicky, Mozzy, Skooly, Short Dawg and Key Glock. 

There's a few notable players that Chainz swapped out. Among them is Fabolous, Dave East, Playboi Carti, Waka Flocka, Freddie Gibbs, French Montana and Trinidad James. In addition, Snoop Dogg previously had Lil Dicky on his side but it looks like he'll be rocking with 2 Chainz this time around. 

The Snoop Dogg vs. 2 Chainz game is set to take place on this Friday, February 16th at 747 Warehouse St. Adidas is not only hosting a celebrity all star game but is also bringing a two day even filled with live performances as well.
