The NBA’s stars will be out this weekend in Los Angeles for the All-Star Game and its attendant festivities.
The collection of contests known as All-Star Saturday has become as big an attraction as the game itself over the years, especially since the format of main event keeps changing. Fans always tune in to watch the popular standbys on the eve of the game, though, particularly the 3-point and slam dunk contests.
This year’s 3-Point Contest features a star-studded field that includes the likes of two-time champion Damian Lillard, 2018 winner Devin Booker and rookie sensation Kon Knueppel in what should be a fascinating shooting display.
The Slam Dunk contest is guaranteed a different champion this year with three-time winner Mac McClung not returning to defend his title. Four players will vie to take the crown from the dunk legend.
It should be an action-packed evening on the hardwood. Here’s how to watch it all.
