The 2023 NBA All-Star Game will tip off at the Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City this evening — and if Saturday night was any indication of what Sunday might hold, basketball fans can expect thrills beyond their wildest imaginations.
Team Jazz held things down for the home city, hoisting the trophies after winning the Skills Challenge, while Damian Lillard showed it was his time in the 3-Point Contest. But Mac McClung might have been the man of the night. The recently-signed Sixer stole the show with a slew of never-before-seen jams to make off with the Dunk Contest title.
Now, it’s on to the All-Star Game.
Here are the top moment’s from All-Star Weekend’s crown jewel:
