Should be a fun night. Some interesting names participating in the skills challenge, Vic is participating in it, the Greek Freak is as well. Two father-son teams are participating in the Shooting Stars challenge, the Hardaways and Currys, and Karl Malone with Kevin Durant. Three point shooting contest, though this might be what I am least excited to see. And then the dunk contest with its best lineup in a few years

I believe the order is, Shooting Stars Challenge, then the Skills Challenge, Three point shooting contest, and they end the night with the Dunk Contest

Oh and Chris Bosh with Dominque Wilkins participating in the Shooting Stars classic. I make jokes about Bosh's odd ass looks, but that event compliments him perfectly, and freaking Dominque Wilkins is participating in it, can never go wrong with the "Human Highlight Reel"

It's obvious who I'm rooting for in that. Lol.

I think they did the nickname to avoid his last name lol. Easy to pronounce. Spelling it is hell.

I know that is a big reason I call him by his nickname, lol. Better than typing out his name every time, and having to check to see if it is right every time

He has a great story too. Forget where I read it, but he had a rough childhood in Greece.

That is a big reason why I'm a big fan of the guy. Hard not to root for someone like that.

"Every retired athlete knows how to play golf, right?"  Charles Barkley doesn't.

 

Oh, Skylar Diggins is there too.  More eye candy.

[Dalton26 16,892]

Skylar Diggins is absolutely gorgeous.

The Greek Freak has a younger brother that goes to high school in Wisconsin (plays on the same team as Diamond Stone), that might even be better than Giannis. He also has a brother in the D-League that might be in the NBA next year.
