The All-Star weekend was packed full of talent and plenty of highlight reel plays. Jeremy Evans won the Dunk Contest, Kevin Love won the three-point contest, and Tony Parker won the Skills Competition.
The All-Star game was the usual high-scoring relaxed pick-up game, but it turned intense in the final few minutes as the East tried to mount a comeback led by LeBron James. Kobe broke Jordan's record for most overall points in all-star games and dropped 27 along with playing through a broken nose.
Jeremy Evans dominated the dunk contest with a 2-ball dunk shown below. The competition was fairly weak for Evans and the dunk contest desperately needs some star power for the future years. Chase Budinger, Derrick Williams, and Paul George are not my ideal dunk contest candidates.
In the Rising Stars game, the Linsation scored a mere two points in a high-scoring frenzy.
K-Love won the three point contest, going against James Jones and Kevin Durant in the final round and coming out the victor.
As usual all-star weekend was a fun and exciting weekend full of talented basketball players putting on the show.
