On Friday, the first event will be the celebrity game. In this event , celebrities from all over come and play a fun game. The event following that is the Rising Stars Challenge. This event features the best rookies and (2nd year players) sophomores in the NBA go head-to-head to play a full game.
One Saturday , four events will take place. The first event is the D-league All-Star game, which does take place during the afternoon. The D-league is a league run by the NBA in which players play to earn a position into the NBA. The second event is the Sears Shooting Stars. Consisting of four people (current players, WNBA players, former players, etc) playing or played for a particular city have to make shots from 4 -5 different spots. The top two cities with the fastest time move onto the finals. From there, the team with the fastest time wins. The third event is the three-point contest. After two rounds, the player who hits the most threes wins. The following participants are: Arron Afflalo, Bradley Beal, Kyrie Irving, Joe Johnson, Macro Bellineli, Stephen Curry , Damian Lillard, and Kevin Love. Everyone and their moms believe that Curry will win this event. If he does, then that's no surprise. My sleeper picks in this event are Arron Afflalo and Marco Bellineli. Kevin Love can win as well. The fourth and final event is the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest. This is the most exciting event of the night as a fan due to the high-flying creativity that guys come up with on a yearly basis. The Slam Dunk participants are: Damian Lillard , John Wall, Paul George, Harrison Barnes, Ben MacLemore, and Terrance Ross. My prediction for this event is that Terrance Ross will win. My sleeper picks in this one are John Wall and Ben MacLemore.
The final All-Star Weekend event will be the All-Star Game. These feature the best players in the NBA all playing in one game. Alot of offensive and spectacular plays take place in this game. I predict that the East will win this one.
