The All Star Weekend is always an entertaining spectacle and the pinnacle is always the All Stars Game.
Only a few times a year do we see LeBron James battle Kobe Bryant or Kevin Durant v LeBron. It’s truly special to get the games best talents all on the floor at once.
You can count on Durant, Kobe, LeBron and Dwayne Wade all to vie for the coveted MVP trophy which will go along with some pretty nasty dunks.
While it will also be good to see James Harden, Paul George, Jrue Holiday and Kyrie Irving all in their very first All Star game.
Watch For: Everybody! If you like defense, run because there will be alley oops and dunks galore.
This game is for us, the fans and with that in mind the dunks will have that 110% attitude which will make these highlights more memorable. Enjoy the All Star festivities!
