NBA All-Star Saturday Night 2023 Preview
The NBA’s brightest take part in skill competitions on Saturday at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City.
Here’s a look at the events:
Skills Challenge
The skills challenge features three rounds of players in teams of three to complete the challenges. They’ll do a relay, passing contest, and shooting contest.
Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannais Antetokounmpo gets a team-leading fix again with a team in the skills competition. He already had his fill of coaching a celebrity basketball game, and now he has a team in the skills challenge.
“I was in it – I wanted to win,” Antetokounmpo told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “Afterward, when I retire, I want to be a head coach. A lot of people don’t know that about me, but I want to be a head coach. I really want to be. It’s kind of hard, because you have no control. And, I know the game of basketball, I know how to play the game of basketball, so it’s hard.

“They give me major love when I go back. When I’m named in the starting lineup, the Jazz fans cheer for me like they cheer for their team. I view it as another home,” Lillard said via Andscape.com.
