The slam dunk contest, which has been one of the best stages of the NBA All-Star weekend for decades brings in a crop of high flyers. Dennis Smith Jr., who was recently acquired by the New York Knicks, is looking for redemption from last year’s effort and will face rookie dunking sensation Miles Bridges of the Charlotte Hornets, John Collins of the Atlanta Hawks and Hamidou Diallo of the Oklahoma City Thunder.



The three-point contest is headlined by the Curry brothers, Steph and Seth, with the legendary Dirk Nowitzki, defending champion Devin Booker, the franchise of the Portland Trail Blazers, Damian Lillard, and five additional competitors in the field.

The Skills challenge will once again separate guards from forwards and will bring Mike Conley, Jason Tatum, and rookie phenom Luka Doncic to the court along with five others.


The NBA previously announced the participants for the Rising Stars Game, the NBA All-STars who will take the floor on Sunday and performers, which include Meek Mill, J. Cole, and Anthony Hamilton.

 NBA All-Star Weekend will be February 15 -17, 2019 from Charlotte, North Carolina.
