The NBA heads for their first set of all star festivities of the decade this weekend, with events lined up Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights to take us into the long weekend (at least for Hofstra students). Starting on Friday night, we have the NBA hall of fame announcement at 5 PM, the celebrity all star game at 7 PM, and the Rising Stars Challenge at 9 PM, with another USA vs. World competition. On Saturday, we have NBA All Star Saturday Night starting with the Taco Bell Skills Competition, then the Mountain Dew 3 point contest, capped off by the usual biggest competiton of the night, the AT&T Slam Dunk Contest will feature former winners Aaron Gordon and Dwight Howard with former runner up Derrick Jones Jr and newcomer Pat Connaughton joining them. I’ll preview the weekend in further detail later this week.
