It’s been a busy February in the NBA, with LeBron James passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, followed by a staggering number of deals struck at the league’s close. Now the NBA is taking a well-deserved break for the All-Star Weekend taking place in Salt Lake City. The slam dunk contest ended last night with Sixers backup Mac McClung stealing the show after Blazers star Damian Lillard won the 3-point contest.
Today is the main event. The NBA All-Star Game sees the 24 best players in the league compete in a show between the Eastern and Western Conferences. Here’s what you need to know to watch.
