All-Star Weekend Recap

               This years All-Star weekend was very amazing in my opinion. The skills challenge, the three point contest, the dunk contest and the actual All-Star game was amazing. To start off with the skills challenge, if you don't know already Karl Anthony Towns won the Skills Challenge. Towards the end, he was at a shootout with Celtics point guard, Isaiah Thomas. They were both missing 3 pointers but luckily Karl Anthony Towns hit the shot first to win the competition. After the skills challenge was the 3 point contest. Everybody was thinking former 3 point contest champion Steph Curry was going to win but they were proved wrong. The splash brothers ( Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson) were at it trying to win the title. Both of them made it to the final round. First up was Steph. He finished with 23 points. Everybody thought he won already. Now it was Klay's turn. He was on fire and beat his teammate 27-23. In my opinion, the 3 point contest was very entertaining especially towards the end. The most interesting and best part of the all-star weekend was the dunk contest. This years was full of out of this world dunks. Aaron Gordon and Zach Lavine made it to the final round and that's when it started to get interesting. Aaron Gordon performed very interesting and unique dunks including jumping over the Orlando Magic mascot on a hoverboard. But in the end, Zach Lavine won back to back titles. In my opinion, Aaron Gordon should have won but I guess its the judges opinions to who wins. Finally, the actual all star game was great. The west won 196-173. The west had almost made it to 200 points. All in all, all star weekend was amazing and very interesting.
