This years NBA All Star weekend will take place in two of New York's cities. The game itself will be held at Madison Square Garden while annual events ; Rising Stars (the highlight from last year) Slam Dunk Contest, 3 point contest, Skills challenge and more will take place at the fairly new built Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. As we enter into the second half of what has been an exciting season, NBA greats will take the court to give the fans a timeless showcase of class, skill and fundamental. Stephen Curry has been on a terror this year as the Golden State Warriors have put themselves in position at the top of the Western Conference in their effort to bring a NBA title out to the West Coast. Be looking forward for both Curry and Damian lillard to shoot the lights out at MSG Sunday night at the NBA All Star game. The Eastern Conference won last years contest primarily because of their persistence in the 4th quarter. Stacked with big names like LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose the Eastern Conference will be looking to bully the boys out West to a consecutive All-star defeat. Below is a listing of some of the highlight events that will take place this weekend. Should be interesting to see what happens. THE BIRTH LLC supports the NBA.
