Let the games begin ⛹🏾♂️
In just a few short ours the first even will take place. Although it is just practice, it will surely have some exciting moments worth seeing. The Celebrity game is usually both funny and competitive. Then there is the Rising Stars game where the best young players in the league get a chance to show out. Friday is packed with action.
The following day is full of events too, but it is the 8 p.m. slot that really should get your attention. There will be three separate contests. The Skills Challenge where players speed through an obstacle course. The 3-point contest where fellas well be letting 25 shots rain down from behind the arc each round. Then it ends with the explosive dunk contest. You never know what tricks these players have up their sleeves. It is not only a night of skill, but also creativity and style.
The weekend will end with the most anticipated event of all. The 72nd NBA All-Star Game. An hour before tip-off there will be a draft where the two team leaders (LeBron and Giannis) will select which guys they want on their team. Gone are the days of East vs West. Once the selections are made, that's out the window and anything goes in terms of who plays with who.
One thing is for sure, each day has at least one event worth watching. I've given you the times and an idea of which will be the most exciting. Now it is time for some basketball.

You appear to be very enthusiastic about writing this post. Even though it's only a basketball game, not a real basketball match, it looks like your new job is really taking up your time.
You haven't posted anything about sports activities like you have consistently done in the past year.
Have you really saved your large jersey collection?
Have a nice day.
I love watching NBA games.
I still have over 30 jerseys and wear them to the gym every single day as you can see here...
Hope you have a great day too
!
Let’s hope we will have a nice show in the dunk contest
I'm sad that Ja Morant isn't participating. They never seem to add the most elite dunkers like they used to. I'm sure it'll still be entertaining.
I have been trying to keep up with the NBA, watch a few games this years but its just too many sports to watch plus tv series that there is not enough time, going to watch the all starts this weekend ✌️
I only make sure to keep up with one NBA team, the Memphis Grizzlies. I have watched every single game this season so far. I don't plan on missing any either. I think they have a shot at winning their franchise's first-ever championship this year. I hope that they do.
This all-star weekend there are good events. I particularly like the triples and the skills competition.
good weekend day from today friday to sunday with team Lebron vs team Giannis
It looks like Giannis may be out since he just injured his wrist the other night. Sad to see a guy like him have to sit out.
I hope we will have great matches and close finishes, close finishes makes the game more interesting and watchable.
It should be both entertaining and competitive.
I really like to watch this type of league. When such matched are posted on weekends, people are more interested because it is their day off. Well, my favorite sport is football, but I also watch basketball matches very much. The most fun is to watch the matches that end up being the closest.
I didn’t watch any of Friday, but today and tomorrow are when the most exciting events are happening.
ALL-STAR!! 😉😎🤙
Looks like some good watchin!
We need Ja to get in the dunk contest.
Looking forward to the game tomorrow. Thanks for the schedule.
Ja would kill it, but he says he don’t wanna do it. I understand, it’s a lot of pressure and extra work.
Yes yes let the games begin it's go hard or go home 🥲🥲
