Starting with the rookies and second-year players game (Rising Stars), which this year brings an unparalleled appeal where the team of the United States will face against the rest of the world team (international players), which will give a extra to see debutantes players and those who already have a year playing in the league get together and give us a good compromise to start this emotional weekend.

On Saturday, February 17, the NBA presents a set of individual events among which we have: skill competition, triple competition and dunk competition.

First, the skill competition is that each of the participants will demonstrate their skills with the ball and their scoring ability, which will result in the best time to finish the circuit. The players will be of different positions demonstrating the high level players that the modern basketball breaks all the schemes.

For its part, the competition of three points is defined by itself, is that each competitor will have a time limit to dunk as many points at different angles of the line of three points. This year we will participate in the presence of many of the best scorers of triples that will be worth watching this show.

Finally, Saturday night presents the most important competition for most fans of the NBA, the competition of diving. Although the past few years has noticeably declined to a point that the fan and the players themselves have been losing the fascination that previous years generated such competition, but no doubt this year will come high-caliber competitors who will give the most of their talents to rekindle that flame by this modality.

Sunday as the most anticipated day of this weekend for all its fans, the NBA presents the game of the stars. This year with a particular format in which the most voted player of each conference had the privilege of selecting his team with players linked from both conferences, which gives him an unparalleled appeal.

Of this party one has very high expectations that allow him again to be striking the classic one of half of season.
