Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler can add being a good basketball player to his long list of accomplishments.

Butler appeared in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on Friday night, scoring eight points, leading his team to victory. The indie hero appeared alongside celebrities such as Sarah Silverman, Common and Kevin Hart in the annual East V West game held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Although Butler did score 8 points, meaning that his team secured a 59-51 victory, Butler was not fortunate enough to receive the MVP award. That title went to actor and comedian Kevin Hart. We’re sure Butler is gutted.

Meanwhile, on Valentine’s Day, Butler served his own range of coffee at a cafe in New York. His ‘RaRa’ brand of coffee was grown in Haiti and proceeds from sales went to the Partners in Health and Haiti Coffee Academy charities.

Butler is not alone in launching his own range of coffee. Other musicians such as St. Vincent and LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy have created similar ranges.
