The 2024 edition of the Star Magic All-Star Games held last June 2, 2024 drew a huge audience at the Smart Araneta Coliseum and generated loud buzz online as it entered the trending list with multiple topics on social media, more particularly X (Twitter). Playing for a sold-out arena at the Araneta Coliseum, Gerald Anderson who led Shooting Stars Red as a playing coach shared his happiness after their team ended “It's Showtime” team’s winning streak, expressing, "Thank you sa mga taong nanood, sa It's Showtime. Sa Star Magic boys, grabe ang dedication, and it paid off. We're happy." Describing his team's preparation, Gerald shared "Pinaghandaan namin. Nag-extra work kami. Meron kaming chat group, lagi kaming magkausap doon. We're motivating each other, lagi kaming nagbibigay ng mga inspirational words." Vice Ganda and Vhong Navarro led and supported the “It’s Showtime” team during the game.
On the other hand, Donny Pangilinan and Ronnie Alonte led the Shooting Stars Blue team to victory against guest team Cong's Anbilibabol Basketball Team. "Noong nalaman ko na Team Payaman yung kalaban and I was asked to join, hindi na ko naghesitate kasi alam kong magiging masaya siya and they’re a really good and fun group. I think it's a great experience for us and for the fans," said Donny. He also commended the annual sports fest of Star Magic for its artists, saying, “I think it’s nice that they focused on sports as well. It’s a good reminder na no matter how hard you work, dapat meron ka rin ginagawa to protect yourself and be healthy. It’s nice to have more of these events." Donny, Ronnie, River Joseph, Nelson Mendoza, and Cris Lagudas formed the Mythical 5 of the first game with Ronnie taking home the MVP title. Ion Perez, Lance Carr, Argel Saycon, Derrick Hubalde, and Young JV made up the Mythical 5 during the second game with Young JV crowned MVP.
