1). Chris Paul or Sabonis, going with Chris Paul. (Big men do well at this event)

2). LaVine

3). Stanley or Simons, going with Simons

4). I like all of the passers on Team LeBron.

Team Lebron, MVP Jokic

I should have gone with my other pick for the Skills, Sabonis. He was great.

My heart fell when Curry made that last shot, and ruined Conley Jr.'s chance at winning. I shouted in anger.

Everyone was good in the first round of the dunk contest. 2/3 were good in the 2nd round. There was still some creativity in the final round. Each finalist could have been a little better in that round, though.

Overall not bad. I look forward to a full format contest next year, though, with players that have dunked in actual NBA games.

From the All-Star game, here were the highlights:

* Curry to Jokic in the first quarter.
* Paul to Gobert dunk.
* Jalen Brown dunk in first.
* Conley Jr. doing the tip-off against Chris Paul, at the start of the 2nd.
* Curry making an alley oop dunk from Paul, then Paul making an alley oop dunk from Curry.
* All of the 29+ foot shots Doncic, Curry, and Lillard made.
* Nice to see Chris Paul with 3 steals.

Oh, and Antetokounmpo's FG perfection. It gave me something to root for, while watching the game. To see if he could really go 100%. I wish he had gone 100% on FTs too (no attempts).

16/16.
