I always enjoy the 3 point contest and I like the players in the skills contest. Dunk lineup looks to be a snoozer (per usual). I hope there is at least one good dunk nailed on the first attempt.


Skills challenge, and 3-point shootout for me ..
day and time please?

It all starts at 5pm EST tonight I believe.

[Real14]

If this was a REAL slam dunk contest that fans want it will be something like...

Lebron (but too much of a bitch to do it)
Lavine
Giannis
A.Gordon

[Real14]

Conley for the skills one, Curry for the 3 point shootout, and Dennis Smith jr for the dunk contest.

[insidehoops]

I never had any interest in seeing LeBron in the NBA's dunk contest. He wouldn't be that interesting in it.

Rather just see the guys with crazy hang time, whether they're stars or not.
