NBA All-Star Weekend: Makin' It Better


 Yao Ming
Atlanta's SkyHawk is just one of the mascots that would add a little color to the NBA's All-Star weekend.
We enlisted a little help from our NBA experts to try and come up with some ideas that would spruce up NBA All-Star Weekend.

And boy, did they come through. From trick-shot competitions to putting coaches on the free-throw line, it's only a matter of time before the All-Star weekend is back to its glory days!

So, what would happen if the league actually listened to our suggestions? Cast your votes and find out.







  • 1) David Aldridge suggests a $5 million winner-take-all dunk contest. Who would win?
  • 2) Aldridge also suggests holding one-on-one contests, with the following match-ups. Which would you most like to see?
  • 3) Ric Bucher suggests the All-Star Game feature the U.S. All-Stars vs. the World All-Stars. Who would win?
  • 4) Marc Stein suggests a trick-shot competition. Which of the following would be the hardest all-time trick shot to replicate?
  • 5) Stein also suggests a free-throw contest among current NBA coaches. Which of the following would win?
  • 6) Bucher and Stein both suggest a slam-dunk contest among the NBA mascots. Who would win?
