⭐️ All-Star Saturday Night Results!

What to know: Last night, we had the trifecta: The Skills Challenge, the Three Point Contest, and the Slam Dunk Contest. Let’s break them each down.

Skills Challenge: Typically the most boring of the three, the Skills Challenge got REAL interesting yesterday when the Spurs squad of Chris Paul and Victor Wembanyama were DISQUALIFIED for not taking “valid shots”. The two thought they could cheat the rules by just throwing the balls as quick as possible and not necessarily trying to make any shots. The powers that be disagreed. The two were DQ’d.

The Cavs squad of Evan Mobley and Donovan Mitchell were the winners of this event, posting a time of just over a minute. Another victory for a Cavs team that can’t seem to really lose this season.

Three-Point Contest: Coming into this event, it was obvious that Damian Lillard was the favorite. Dame has won the last two and was trying to become the first player ever to three-peat in that event. Instead, Dame took on Miami Heat flamethrower Tyler Herro in the first round, and lost.

Herro went on to win the whole dang thing. As Drew said yesterday in his prediction, Herro had the chance to win if he got hot early. And boy, oh boy, did he get hot. Herro won his first-round matchup and never really looked back.

Slam Dunk Contest: If your name isn’t Mac McClung, you don’t win Slam Dunk Contests right now. The G-League dunking sensation and two-time Slam Dunk contest was welcomed back to the spotlight last night and did NOT disappoint.

McClung came out hot in the first round by jumping over a car, specifically a KIA for those wondering who the NBA is sponsored by these days. McClung managed to slam home all four dunks, each awarded with a perfect score of 50. His final dunk consisted of him jumping over Evan Mobley, tapping the ball on the rim, and slamming it home. He is the first player to win three consecutive slam dunk contests.
