Given the general apathy presented on Friday and Sunday nights, All-Star Saturday Night has become the centrepiece of the weekend experience. In the past couple years, the NBA has hit a great balance of competition and effortless fun. Whether it’s the bigs vs. smalls tournament in the Skills Challenge, the star-studded Three-Point Contest, or the unheralded dunking freaks in the Slam Dunk competition, there’s a little something for everyone on Saturday night.
There’s a little something for Raptors fans this year too! Kyle Lowry will be one of the participants in the JBL Three-Point Contest, as he comes in shooting a career-high 41.
