    JW or George are going to win DC. McLemore or Ross may end up more deserving, but if its a fan vote they wont stand a chance.

    3 point contest Im going to go Marco, or Love because he's one of my favorite players.

    Pretty weak stuff in the rookie-sophomore game. Really shows how weak the past two drafts have been I suppose.

    Irving in the 3pt contest? Really? Much better options out there. Would rather see Parsons even though he doesn't have the ideal stroke for a contest like this.

    I'm surprise Korver isn't in the 3pt contest.

    I wonder who's gonna smash Skylar Diggins. They're gonna be sooo thirsty for her. KD? Paul George? She's way too fit for Harden's tastes obviously.

    Kyrie is the defending champ. He gets offered an invite by default.

    Not a fan of the 6 man dunk contest, it already wears thin to watch 18 dunks or whatever it is with 4 guys.

    Those Shooting Stars teams make no sense at all. Even if the contest was boring the last 10 years, at least I could root for Houston, or against LA. Now it's just a hodgepodge of random people shooting jump shots for half an hour.

    Korver declined the invite to hang out with his family, by the way.
