What to know: Tonight is All-Star Saturday Night in the NBA, and you know what that means… high-flying dunks, sharpshooters lacing them from three, and the best of the NBA competing at a semi-high level!
Kia Skill Challenge:
Team Cavs: Donovan Mitchell & Evan Mobley
Team Rooks: Zaccharie Risacher & Alex Sarr
Team Spurs: Chris Paul & Victor Wembanyama
Team Warriors: Draymond Green & Moses Moody
Drew: I can’t NOT take the Cavs. I mean, what have they lost this year? Not much. I’m taking Donny and Mobley. Donny is a sneaky, really good passer, and Mobley can shoot the rock better than people think. They’re both intense competitors, and I can see them wanting to win at all costs.
Z: I’ll tell you what. I’ve got a funny feeling, just a tiny funny feeling…that WEMBY is coming to this All-Star Weekend hungry! He said in a recent interview that he wants to bring some fire back to the All-Star game, and I think he gets it started right here at the Kia Skills Challenge! Give me Team Spurs!
Starry Three-Point Contest:
Jalen Brunson, Knicks
Cade Cunningham, Pistons
Darius Garland, Cavs
Tyler Herro, Heat
Buddy Hield, Warriors
Cameron Johnson, Nets
Damian Lillard, Bucks
Norman Powell, Clippers
Drew: I’m going with the guy who has the chance to get the absolute hottest and never look back: Tyler Herro. He is probably the biggest BOOM or BUST option in this lineup, but man can he shoot the lights out when he’s hot. I like underdogs, and Herro is that in this contest.
Z: Again…I’ll tell you what, when it comes to any sort of all-star game or three point contest, there’s one guy who ALWAYS turns it up a notch for these types of contests, and that’s DAME TIME Damian Lillard. Give me Dame to win this one, capitalizing off of those long-range Starry shots!
AT&T Slam Dunk:
Mata Buzelis, Bulls
Steph Castle, Spurs
Andre Jackson Jr., Bucks
Mac McClung, G League
Drew: If you know anything about me, you know I like a man who occasionally wears high socks and can jump out of the building. In this case, I’m referring to Andre Jackson Jr. The dude has BUNNIES! I can imagine he’s got something to prove in this contest too, truly making a name for himself. He’s got an AFRO and he can YAM! Gimme Andre!
Z: AJJ is a phenomenal pick for this one, but just to cover all of our Huskies roots…I gotta go with Steph Castle here. He just won the rising stars MVP last night and I say he calls up WEMBY to do something spooky for the dunk contest.
