Charles Barkley calls B.S. Sir Charles opened the weekend strong, on the news that the Sacramento Kings had discussed the hiring of their new head coach with young star DeMarcus Cousins. What did Barkley have to say? See for yourself (Warning: uncensored video).
Mo’ne Davis schools Kevin Hart The action on the floor began with the celebrity All-Star Game, and it didn’t take long to produce the first highlight reel moment. Little League World Series Star Mo’ne Davis schooled three-time MVP Kevin Hart with this sick spin move, finishing the layup past the funny man.
Hart still wins MVP Despite the earlier moment, Hart won the MVP for a fourth time, much to the chagrin of many of the competitors. Hart took in stride, though, recognizing the late Stuart Scott and announcing his retirement from the game.
Oladipo opens the dunk contest for real This year’s Dunk Contest got off to a slow start, but Victor Oladipo woke up the crowd with this slam. Whether it was a 360 or a 540, the twisting, back-side reverse slam was unprecedented, and was a perfect primer for the dunks to come.
World: Meet Zach LaVine As a rookie playing for the dreadful Minnesota Timberwolves, Zach LaVine may not be a household name. But he put himself on the basketball map with this through-the-legs, head brushing through the net windmill jam.
LaVine, for the win But LaVine wasn’t done. See all four dunks in his routine, that helped the 19-year-old soar to the title.
Dominique Wilkins hits half-court winner Nique might have been known for his interior game, but it was his half-court shot that sealed the win for Team Bosh in the Shooting Stars Competition.
Steph Curry lights up three-point contest Stephen Curry has made his name as one of the best shooters in the NBA, and is a frontrunner for league MVP this season. He left no doubt of his ability to hit from deep Saturday night, draining 13 straight threes in the final round to win the NBA Three-point Contest.
Westbrook keys highest-scoring game ever Sunday’s All-Star game was won by the West, 163-158, making it the highest scoring All-Star game in history with 321 total points. Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook scored 41 of them to earn MVP, including a pair on this high-flying dunk.
Frank Isola Amare buyout Just when all the action was wrapping up, New York Daily News reporter Frank Isola dropped the bomb of the weekend, announcing that the Knicks had bought out the remainder of Amar’e Stoudamire’s contract.
