The NBA All-Star weekend is leading up to the main event on Sunday, but in the meantime, some players will be out to dazzle with their special talents. The evening’s focus will be on three events: the Skills Challenge, the 3-point Contest, and the Slam Dunk competition.

The Antetokounmpo brothers formed a team to participate in the Skills Challenge, but Giannis exited Thursday’s home game against the Chicago Bulls after hurting his right wrist, and it is not yet known whether he will be able to participate in the All-Star weekend festivities.

The 3-Point Contest will feature eight of the sharpest shooters in the league, while the most dramatic and highly anticipated event of the night, the Slam Dunk competition, will feature four high-jumping dynamic players who will be out to impress.
