The NBA All-Star Weekend festivities kicked off last night in Cleveland, Ohio with the Ruffles NBA All-Star Celebrity Game and the Clorox Rising Stars Tournament. We saw Team Walton come out with a victory with Alex Toussaint winning the MVP award while Team Barry walked away with a victory in the battle of the league’s young stars, with Desmond Bane & Tyrese Haliburton winning the Clorox Clutch Challenge.
Tonight, we have the spectacular All-Star Saturday night where the league’s sharpshooters and high-flyers get to put on exciting displays that will have social media buzzing about the latest big performance. While there won’t be any Denver Nuggets participating in today’s events, there will still be plenty to watch. The day starts with NBA All-Star Practice Presented by AT&T, NBA x HBCU Classic Presented by AT&T during the day. Then, as the night begins to get started, we have the AT&T Slam Dunk Contest and MTN DEW 3-Point Contest, we’ll also get to see the Taco Bell Skills Challenge.
