The 2019 NBA All Star Weekend will occur in Charlotte, North Carolina. The two main days are the Saturday and Sunday of the weekend. A three point shooting contest and slam dunk competition occur on Saturday night. There have been some notable performances in the slam dunk over the years. Vince Carter comes to mind. Michael Jordan's flight from the free throw line gave birth to air jordan and the jumpman logo for Nike.
The All Star Game features the best players from the NBA. The league used to do it as the Eastern conference versus the Western conference. However, two years ago it decided to spice things up with a draft format. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Lebron James were the two captains this year. They got to choose players for their respective teams. Lakers Superstar James chose Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Kawhi Leonard and James Harden to be his fellow starters. The Greek freak chose Steph Curry, Joel Embiid, Paul George and Kemba Walker to be his starters.
The Three Point shooting contest features an interesting storyline. Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry will be competing against his brother Seth Curry from the Portland Trail Blazers. Other participants include Dirk Nowitski and hometown Charlotte Hornet Kemba Walker among others. Bettors that wager on this competition perhaps might want to weigh three point shooting percentages. Others might just want to bet on their favorite player.
Most sportsbooks will have a variety of wagering options for you. The All Star game itself will have spreads, moneylines and an over under. One of the criticisms of the All Star Game is that the players don't really play defense and that it turns into a high scoring dunk fest. That is why the over under might seem high at first glance.
There are usually some prop bets in addition. You will get the opportunity to bet on who you think will win MVP of the game.
