Skills Challenge

  • Date: Saturday, Feb. 15 | Time: 8 p.m. ET
  • TV: TNT
Format: A bracket of eight of the most skilled players in the NBA is built to complete an on-court obstacle course testing almost every ability one would need to survive and thrive in the league. Players compete against one another head-to-head, with the first finisher moving on each round until a winner is declared.

Participants:

  • Patrick Beverley, G, Los Angeles Clippers
  • Domantas Sabonis, F, Indiana Pacers
  • Khris Middleton, G, Milwaukee Bucks
  • Jayson Tatum, F, Boston Celtics
  • Bam Adebayo, F, Miami Heat
  • Spencer Dinwiddie, G, Brooklyn Nets

3-Point Contest

  • Date: Saturday, Feb. 15 | Time: After Skills Challenge concludes
  • TV: TNT
Format: Eight of the NBA's best 3-point shooters are tested for their marksmanship one at a time in this event. Each shooter has 70 seconds to take 27 total shots from behind the arc from five different spots. The final ball at each spot is called the Moneyball, and is worth an extra point. This year, the league has introduced two new spots positioned equidistant between the traditional racks at the top of the 3-point arc and the adjacent "wing" rack. Each of the two ball pedestals is located six feet behind the 3-point line and holds one special green ball, the "3-Ball." Shots made with the green ball are worth three points. The top three finishers in the first round advance to the final round.

Participants:

  • Devonte' Graham, G, Charlotte Hornets
  • Zach LaVine, G, Chicago Bulls
  • Duncan Robinson, F, Miami Heat
  • Trae Young, G, Atlanta Hawks
  • Buddy Hield, G, Sacramento Kings
  • Davis Bertans, F, Washington Wizards
  • Joe Harris, G, Brooklyn Nets
  • Damian Lillard, G, Portland Trail Blazers

Slam Dunk Contest

  • Date: Saturday, Feb. 15 | Time: After 3-Point Contest concludes
  • TV: TNT
Format: Four of the NBA's most explosive dunkers are given free rein over the court to dunk twice in front of a panel of judges. Those judges score each dunk on a scale from 0-50 based on the skill, athleticism and creativity involved. The two top dunkers based on cumulative score move on and dunk twice more before a winner is declared.

Participants:

  • Dwight Howard, C, Los Angeles Lakers
  • Derrick Jones Jr., F, Miami Heat
  • Aaron Gordon, G, Orlando Magic
  • Pat Connaughton, G, Milwaukee Bucks

NBA All-Star Game

  • Date: Sunday, Feb. 16 | Time: 8 p.m. ET
  • TV: TNT
Format:

  • The score will be reset to 0-0 after the first and second quarters.
  • The winners of the first, second and third quarters will receive $100,000 per quarter to donate to a Chicago-based charity of the captain's choice.
  • At the end of the third quarter, the total scores from each quarter will be combined, as it would be in a typical game.
  • The fourth quarter will be untimed. Instead, a target score will be set by adding 24 points (Bryant's old uniform number) to the total of whichever team has the lead through three quarters (i.e, if the team in the lead has 100 points, the target score would be 124). The first team to reach that target would win the game.
  • The winning team will receive another $200,000 to donate to charity, bringing the total up to $500,000.
Roster:

Team LeBron
Starters: LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard, Luka Doncic, James Harden
Reserves: Damian Lillard, Ben Simmons, Nikola Jokic, Jayson Tatum, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Domantas Sabonis

Team Giannis
Starters: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, Pascal Siakam, Kemba Walker, Trae Young
Reserves: Khris Middleton, Bam Adebayo, Rudy Gobert, Kyle Lowry, Brandon Ingram, Donovan Mitchell
