A fun-filled 2025 NBA All-Star Saturday night will feature potential three-peat winners in the 3-point and slam dunk contests.
The 2025 NBA All-Star Saturday night is finally here, an evening that often provides a lot of drama, fun, and adrenaline and has multiple two-time defending champions trying to do what the Kansas City Chiefs couldn’t do and complete the three-peat.
Before we see Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard and Orlando Magic/Osceola Magic high flyer Mac McClung go for their three-peats in the 3-point contest and Slam Dunk contest, respectively, we’ll see the Skills Challenge which features Victor Wembanyama and from the home team; Draymond Green and Moses Moody.

Starry 3-Point Contest

- Cade Cunningham (Pistons)
- Darius Garland (Cavaliers)
- Tyler Herro (Heat)
- Buddy Hield (Warriors)
- Cam Johnson (Nets)
- Damian Lillard (Bucks)

This is a stacked competition lineup for reigning two-time champ Lillard to beat. Is it Dame time? Perhaps it’s Buddy Heild time. Seriously, the Warriors need him to start heating up. Could trade deadline survivor Cam Johnson provide the upset?
