NBA All Star 2016 is a wrap.


This year All Star weekend was held in Toronto Canada and it didn't dissappoint. It all started on Friday night with the Celebrity All Star game which was the most entertaining event of the night. The Team Captains for each teams were Drake and Kevin Hart, Team Drake had won the game but Coach Kevin had enough of his team losing and decided to suit up. But even his effort weren't enough but it was still a fun game.

Next was Team USA vs Team World which held the best young athletes in the world on one of the biggest stages. From highlight dunks, to crazy threes from behind the arch it's good to say that the league is in good hands. On Saturday night it was filled with even more fun. On Saturday night Zach Lavine and Aaron Gordon had taken over the night and let the League know that the Dunk Contest is still the best thing about All Star Weekend. Each participant had an opportunity to show their impressive dunks and each dunk left the crowd in awe with their jaws dropped to the floor. But with an in between the legs dunk from the free throw line Zach Lavine took his second consecutive Slam Dunk Title.

On Sunday night the annual All Star game commenced many stars and celebrities were in attendance and the night started with a standing ovation for Kobe Bryant when he was introduced for his last All Star game appearance. It was a very fun and exciting game on both sides, Paul George was one point away from beating Wilt Chaimberlan's record for most points in an All Star game. But the trophy at the end of the night went to Russell Westbrook for the second straight year. Thank you Toronto for a great weekend as now the torch is passed to Charlotte, NC for the 2017 All Star Weekend
