Let’s be honest, nobody cares about the actual NBA All-Star game. It’s all about All-Star Saturday.
The festivities to the weekend’s action already kicked off Friday with the Rising Stars Challenge, but the true main event comes tonight. The Slam Dunk Contest, 3-Point Shootout and Taco Bell Skills Challenge will all be contested outside the United States for the first time in the 65-year history of the event.
A free live stream of the festivities scheduled for 8 p.m. ET can be found here.
