The league has made various adjustments to the events on Friday and Saturday including to the Rising Stars Challenge game. The format will now see ‘Team World’ take on ‘Team US’ which has received a positive reaction while the Dunk Contest will also be much more straight forward.
In addition, the participants for both the 3-point Contest and the Dunk Contest have many fans excited, and Saturday night certainly promises to entertain despite a lack of an actual game.
Sunday sees the All-Stars take to the court at Madison Square Garden and despite the number of injuries to starters, the field is full of talent with the likes of LeBron James, Stephen Curry and James Harden all set to feature.
While it is certainly a blow to lose the likes of Kobe Bryant and Anthony Davis, NBA All-Star weekend 2015 isn’t one to be missed and here is a full list of the events:
