The 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend has kicked off in San Francisco Bay Area with festivities at Chase Center and Oakland Arena. The Golden State Warriors, hosting the event for the first time since 2000, are set to make it a memorable one.
The weekend began on Friday with the celebrity game, where Team Bonds emerged victorious with a score of 66-55. The Rising Stars event followed suit, with Team C claiming the tournament and advancing to the All-Star Game on Sunday. On Saturday, Team Cavs won the skills challenge, while Tyler Herro took home the 3-point contest title.
A highlight from this year’s event was Mac McClung making dunk contest history by becoming the first player to three-peat in a slam-dunk contest. The tournament format features four teams competing for a chance to win $125,000, with the winning team earning double that amount.
The competition will continue on Sunday as the 74th NBA All-Star Game takes center stage, featuring a unique new format with three games: two semifinals and a championship. The event promises to be an exciting conclusion to this year’s festivities.
