NBA All-Star Saturday Night 2017 Live

The 2017 NBA All-Star Saturday Night takes place tonight,

 Welcome to three of the most compelling hours in all of sports: NBA All-Star Saturday night.


 From IT vs. Towns in the Skills Challenge to Steph vs. Klay in the three-point contest to LaVine vs. Gordon in the dunk contest, with a little Hart vs. Draymond mixed in, last year’s festivities were among the most entertaining in recent memory, and we can only hope that 2017 provides a viable encore. Here’s a look at everything you need to know to watch: 2017 NBA All-Star Saturday Night Schedule 8 p.m. ET: Skills Challenge Next (Estimated 9 p.m. ET): Three-Point Contest Next (Estimated 10 p.m. ET): Dunk Contest hile that event featured both stars and athletes, Saturday night’s activities are all about the pros. And there’s three different ways for players to take part. The Taco Bell Skills Challenge will feature players facing off two by two on identical courses to see who can finish first. The field will eventually narrow from eight to two for a final showdown. Among those slated to participate are DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, and Isaiah Thomas. That will be followed by the JBL Three-Point Contest. Klay Thompson, who won last year, will be back to shoot as many baskets as he can from the three-point arc in one minute. Competing against him will be 2013 winner Kyrie Irving, as well as others like Nick Young, Kyle Lowry, and Kemba Walker. Last up is the Verizon Slam Dunk, which will include Aaron Gordon, DeAndre Jordan, Glenn Robinson III, and Derrick Jones Jr. The four sports stars will get scored on their dunking moves with the goal of racking up more points than their competitors. All three events will take place at the Smoothie King Center, and it leads up to Sunday night’s 66th NBA All-Star Game. All-Star Saturday Night officially kicks off on TNT at 8 p.m. Eastern, but pre-show festivities start at 5 p.m. All-Star Weekend is underway, but there are still plenty of great events to check out. The annual celebration of the game’s best players, dunkers and shooters is always one of the highlights of the NBA season. Since there are a lot of events jam-packed into one weekend, we’ve put together a schedule to make sure you don’t miss a thing.
