OKC Thunder: 2019 NBA schedule of All-Star weekend events and what to watch for

Main Event – State Farm All-Star Saturday Night:

The focus of the day is the State Farm All-Star Saturday Night which includes three events.

Taco Bell Skills Challenge:

Participants in the skills challenge include three point guards, two centers, a small forward, a power forward and the positionless rookie Luka Doncic :

• Mike Conley, point guard, Memphis Grizzlies
• Luka Doncic, forward, guard, DallasMavericks
• De’Aaron Fox, point guard, Sacramento Kings
• Nikola Jokic, center, Denver Nuggets
• Kyle Kuzma, power forward, LA Lakers
• Jayson Tatum, small forward, Celtics
• Nikola Vucevic, center, Orlando Magic
• Trae Young, point guard, Atlanta Hawks

The past few seasons the NBA featured big men versus guards but seems to have expanded the field this year. As with every year, the participants will work their way through a series of pylons to demonstrate ball handling, deliver pinpoint bounce passes into netted targets, dribble down the court to deliver a lay-up and then back up court needing to hit a 3-point shot to finish.

Keep an eye on Doncic as everyone will be excited to see the rookie, but one of Fox or Young could surprise under the bright lights to throw their name into the top of mind recall of fans minds.

The event begins at 8:00 p.m. and will air on TNT.
