The NBA All Star Weekend is here it is the most exciting time during the NBA Season.
There 3 key events taking place on Saturday night: the Skills Challenge, the 3 Point Shootout and the Slam Dunk Contest. Here are my winners for each contest.
Skills Challenge
This year the format of the SKills Challenge is different from past years instead of head to head it will be played in a team format. You have three different teams participating this year.
The Rookies ( Josh Giddy, Scottie Barnes, and Cade Cunningham)
Team Cavs ( Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, and Jarret Allen)
Team Antetokounmpo ( Giannis, Thanasis, and Alex)
For this challenge I am going with Team Cavs to take home the trophy for the Hosting Cleveland Cavaliers.
Three Point Shootout
This has recently become the highlight of the night these past few seasons.
As the shooting in the NBA has gotten extremely accurate over the years.
The contestants are the following below.
Luke Kennard
Patty Mills
Desmond Bane
Trae Young
Zach LaVine
CJ McCollum
Karl Anthony Towns
For this contest it will be fun to watch.
I am going with Luke Kennard to win the 3 Point shootout.
The Dark Horse of the group is going to be Desmond Bane.
Slam Dunk Contest
The Slam Dunk Contest is an event that has lacked luster the past few years.
The main reason being that many of the stars are not participating in the Dunk Contest which then loses its luster especially with the casual fan. The contestants are below.
Jalen Green
Obi Toppin
Cole Anthony
Juan Toscano-Anderson
I am picking Jalen Green to win. I believe he is going to show a lot of creativity with his dunks.
He also has great leaping ability as well. Next year they have to get star to do the contestant because you are a die hard fan like myself you have no idea who any of these players are; which is ultimately a bad look when you consider this is All Star Weekend.
In addition for the All Star game itself on Sunday I am going with Team Durant to win and for Ja Morant to win All Star Game MVP!!!!
