The stars shine bright
The NBA Slam Dunk contest may have lost the interest of the stars, but the 3-point competition is much different. They like to compete, but the effort and time it takes to perfect the perfect dunk, and the injury risk are more substantial than taking a three-point shot.
The NBA’s greatest shooter of all time, Steph Curry, has one of the largest fan bases in NBA history and watching the best shooter of all time in the competition where he has won twice. Other stars like Klay Thompson, Devin Booker, and Kyrie Irving have competed in the contest too.
This weekend’s competition is full of stardom. Jayson Tatum, Tyrese Haliburton, and Damian Lillard are all lined up to compete in this year’s contest. With the excitement, competitive nature, and star lineups, the 3-point contest has taken the shine of the all-star weekend.
