Who doesn’t love NBA All-Star Saturday Night? The annual celebration of all things roundball (rock) always delivers an array of buzzy moments as the best basketball players in the world compete in a variety of events.
I should clarify that it’s basketball related events. Not, like, a hula hoop competition. Although, honestly, I wouldn’t mind seeing GG Jackson and Jalen Johnson in a one-on-one hula contest. Let’s get that on the schedule for 2025, gang.
ANYWAY, tonight’s festivities begin with the Kia Skills Challenge as Team Pacers (Tyrese Haliburton, Bennedict Mathurin, and Myles Turner), Team Top Picks (Paolo Banchero, Anthony Edwards, and Victor Wembanyama), and Team All-Stars (Scottie Barnes, Tyrese Maxey, and Trae Young) compete for All-Star glory. The second event is the famed three-point contest as defending champion Damian Lillard will try to make it two in a row when he takes on Jalen Brunson, Tyrese Haliburton, Donovan Mitchell, Trae Young, Karl-Anthony Towns, Lauri Markkanen, and Malik Beasley in a clash of prolific shooters.
After the first-ever NBA vs. WNBA 3-Point Challenge between Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu, it’s the AT&T Slam Dunk contest as returning-champ Mac McClung defends his crown against Jaylen Brown, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Jacob Toppin.
