NBA, if you ever want me to do the Celebrity Game despite the fact that I am decidedly not a celebrity, DM me. Having said all this, it does seem like everyone is in on the joke, and there is something to be said from that (this is also why I love the event with my whole heart). Senate candidates from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania dribbling a basketball off of their foot. Just a lot of misses, a lot of turnovers, a lot of watching failed U.S. Before the game, there was a video package that made fun of how bad the whole thing is. This remains the only time I went to the see that, as dril once so eloquently put it, the celebs were at it again. In 2019, the All-Star weekend took place in lovely Charlotte, North Carolina.

I do not need to explain why the Celebrity Game is bad, in large part because the NBA (or ESPN, my memory is a bit fuzzy) has already done this for me.

As for the best? We’ll get to that shortly, but for now… 6. The worst one, by design, is the Celebrity Game. It gives players and coaches a break from the grind of the 82-game sprint to the postseason, and it gives fans a number of events that they look forward to watching on a yearly basis.Īhead of this year’s weekend, we decided to look at the six events - Friday’s Celebrity Game and Rising Stars Challenge Saturday’s Skills Challenge, Three Point Contest, and Slam Dunk Contest Sunday’s All-Star Game - and rank them from best to worst. It’s the biggest weekend of the regular season, as the NBA All-Star Game and everything that comes along with it is finally here. This weekend, the NBA will descend upon Salt Lake City, Utah.
