Pride is normally all that's at stake on All-Star Saturday, but, after the four competitions are over, there will be an All-Star Saturday Night Champion.
First up is the Shooting Stars. There are two teams from each conference with one All Star, one WNBA star and one legend on each squad.
The West team is headlined by James Harden of the host Houston Rockets, who is making his first All-Star appearance, and Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The East will be Chris Bosh of the defending champion Miami Heat and Brook Lopez of the Brooklyn Nets will team with Swin Cash and Tamika Catchings of the WNBA and legends Muggsy Bogues and Dominique Wilkins.
The second competition is Skills Challenge, which features players going through an obstacle course that features various dribbling, passing and shooting stations.
Tony Parker finally made good in his third attempt at a title last year and the San Antonio Spurs All-Star guard will be back to defend. He'll join Jeremy Lin of the host Rockets and Rookie of the Year in waiting, Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers. The East trio will be led by first-time All Star, Jrue Holiday of the Philadelphia 76ers, Jeff Teague of the Atlanta Hawks and Brandon Knight of the Detroit Pistons.
We inch closer to the more meaningful events with the 3-point Contest. Last year's winner, Kevin Love, isn't back to defend, so a new champion will be crowned.
The East has two All Stars competing with Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Paul George of the Indiana Pacers. Steve Novak of the New York Knicks is the third member of the trio.
The West will feature Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors, Ryan Anderson of the New Orleans Hornets and Matt Bonner of the Spurs.
The Sprite Slam Dunk Contest will close the night as Utah's Jeremy Evans will be back to defend the dunk contest title he won in Orlando last season, but keep an eye on first-time competitor James White. White is averaging less than seven minutes per game off the bench for the Knicks this season but has become famous on YouTube for his free-throw-line slams, particularly those he threw down during an epic battle with fellow 2013 competitor Gerald Green at a competition in Russia in 2010.
