The NBA All-Star Weekend is fast approaching and should bring along a lot of excitement. It was originally hosted in Charlotte, North Carolina but because of the Transgender bathroom law, it has been relocated to New Orleans, Louisiana making it the first major sporting event in the United States to be relocated for political reasons since 1990. Starting off with the least popular event but still entertaining, the celebrity game usually brings comedy from Kevin Hart but won't be in attendance this year. Following up, the rising stars challenge is always interesting to watch with the fast-paced rookies and sophomore players. The second night brings the most entertainment with the skills challenge, three-point contest, and the slam dunk contest. Unfortunately, Zach LeVine is injured but the dunk contest should still be very exciting with Aaron Gordon and DeAndre Jordan participating. The weekend concludes with the All-Star game which is always something you can't miss. With all the political madness happening around the world, the NBA All-Star Weekend can take us away from it and make for an exciting weekend.
