A course to be completed as quickly as possible, and three teams of three who will therefore do battle to open the evening of competitions. the Antetokounmpo brothers who continue to live their best life, a local trio of Jazz players, and another made up of three rookies, united for one evening against the oldest. Always a good time, remember Scottie Barnes last year, we still cry about it.
3-points Contest

- Tyrese Haliburton
- Tyler Herro
- Buddy Hield
- Jayson Tatum
- Anfernee Simons
- Lauri Markkanen
- Damian Lillard
- Kevin Huerter

Eight competitors, almost all the best specialists in the League, and a Lauri Markkanen who will try to make fun of the little snipers in front of his audience.
Slam Dunk Contest
- Trey Murphy III
- Kenyon Martin Jr.
- Jericho Sims
- Mac McClung
For some the best moment of the evening, but for aesthetes… a bad time to pass because for a few years disappointment has taken precedence over hype. Hoping that this season will change the situation and rekindle our little flame.
