Friday 1 NBA All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game: First held in 2004, the game features retired NBA players, WNBA players, actors, musicians, and athletes from sports other than basketball. Rising Stars Challenge : From 1995 until 1999, the event was called the "Rookie Game," and composed entirely of first-year players. From 2000 through 2011, the game, renamed the "Rookie Challenge", featured a team of first-year players ('Rookies') against a team of second-year players ('Sophomores'). The 2012 game debuted a new name, the "Rising Stars Challenge", and a new format. While the game continues to feature first- and second-year players, the participants are now assigned to teams in a "fantasy draft" by two honorary captains Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal in 2012 and 2013,Grant Hill and Chris Webber in 2014). D-League Dream Factory Friday Night: First held in 2008, the events includes a slam dunk contest, a three-point shootout and a H-O-R-S-E competition. These events were modeled after the NBA All-Star Saturday Night events

Saturday 2 D-League All-Star Game: First held in 2007, this game features the best players from the NBA Development League (D-League). The First winner was the East by a score of 114-100. The D-League All-Star game was not held in the same arena as all the other All-Star Saturday activities. Instead, it was held on NBA Jam Session's practice court. Slam Dunk Contest :This competition showcases the creativity and athletic ability of some of the league's youngest best dunkers. The specific rules of the contest are decided each year, but the competition is always judged subjectively. After each dunk, or attempted dunk, competitors are awarded a mark out of 10 from five judges, giving a possible high score of 50. The usual rules of 'traveling' and double dribbling do not apply. Three-Point Shootout: The league's best three point shooters shoot five basketballs from five different spots around the three-point line. Each shot is worth one point except the last ball of each rack (informally called 'money balls'), which is worth two points. The highest score available in one round is 30 points. The shooters have one minute to shoot the basketballs. Skills Challenge: Making its debut in 2003, the Skills Challenge pits selected players in a timed obstacle course of dribbling, shooting and passing. Agility, quickness and accuracy all come into play Shooting Stars Competition: A retired NBA player, a current NBA player and a WNBA player compete together in a shooting competition.

Slide 11

Starting with the 2013 event, points will be awarded to the conference winner in each of the four events. The total score will determine the champion of All-Star Saturday Night. Sunday (3) The NBA All-Star Game
