This Year’s NBA All-Star weekend was held for the first time outside of the United States. It was held February 12-14, 2016 in Toronto, Ontario.
Many events and networking opportunities are held during this weekend.
Some of the events include:
- The Hall of Fame announcement for the class of 2016.
- The celebrity game which featured Kevin Hart and Drake as coaches.
- World and International game on Friday night
- All-star Saturday Night which includes : Skills Challenge, 3 point challenge, and Dunk Contest.
The Dunk Contest this year was amazing. There were 2 players that brought the excitement back!. Zach Levine and Aaron Gordon.
Check out photos below:
Zach Levine ended up winning the dunk contest but I am sure there will be a rematch year. 🙂
Kobe Bryant was also honored during this weekend as this was his last all-star game. It was fun to see him being honored as well as play during the game.
The west defeated the east 196-174.
Russell Westbrook was named the All-Star game MVP. 🙂
