NBA All-Star Weekend Included Wild Threes and a Feel-Good Story of its Own
March 6, 2023
This year’s NBA All-Star Weekend was full of action and even featured a few new records.
The three point contest wasn’t super crazy but the final round between Buddy Hield, Damian Lillard, and Tyrese Haliburton is where it started to heat up. Hield scored 25 points, Lillard had 26, and Tyrese had 17, Making Damian Lillard the winner by a slim margin.
The dunk contest was the most exciting of the weekend with Mac Mcclung, Kenyon Martin Jr, Jericho Sims, and Trey Murphy lll facing off. The contest was entertaining throughout, but the final round with Mac Mcclung and Trey Murphy lll was one of the best parts of the entire weekend. Mcclung almost received all 50’s and he ended up winning the contest after just recently being brought up from the G-League to the 76ers.
