(I changed Hector's nationality. He's Mexican now. I read a comment that made me change my mind, and impossible to be proud of a country of a dictator. Hector is particularly proud of his country. I have shown it several times, but who would want his MC to be the symbol of a dictatorship abroad? Initially, I wanted it to be Russian, but I changed my choice for the same reason. I modified the previous chapters)

The 2021 All-Star Game this season will be held in Atlanta. This is the 70th edition of the All-Star Game.

For this edition of the All-Star Game, the NBA decided to keep the format previously used in 2020. The score is set to zero at the beginning of each quarter. Then, at the end of the third quarter, the scores of each team are cumulated. The winner of the game will then be determined when a team reaches the score of the one that was in the lead before the start of the fourth quarter, to which is added 24 points in tribute to Kobe Bryant.

But that is not what Hector should worry about. Before the All-Star Game, the Rising Star Challenge is usually held but was canceled this year. Nevertheless, the NBA selected the teams anyway, and Hector is included.

First comes the Skill Challenge.

Since the formula evolved with the arrival of the big men in 2016, the traditional contest of leaders has attracted much more interest. Julius Randle, Domantas Sabonis, or Nikola Vucevic compete on a return sprint embellished with small technical exercises. This year, the interiors will still have competition with Chris Paul and Luka Doncic to restore the image of the leaders while Robert Covington completes the list.

Normally Hector was among the shortlisted, but he decided to do the Dunk Contest.

Then comes the Three-Point Contest.

We get down to business with the most exciting contest in recent years. To try to hit Devin Booker's scoring record set in 2018 (28/34), the NBA has again picked up heavy since Stephen Curry, Zach LaVine, Donovan Mitchell, Jaylen Brown, and Jayson Tatum (the Jay Bros), and Mike Conley (called in reinforcement in place of Devin Booker) will all be present at the rendezvous.

Come to the Slam Dunk Contest.

Between Anfernee Simons, Hector Herrera, Cassius Stanley, and Obi Toppin, there will be no big name on the floor of the State Farm Arena but sit down anyway because we should be treated to a big show from these four players who have dynamite in their cal Note that the two finalists will decide with a single dunk and that the judges (Dee Brown, Jason Richardson, Josh Smith, Spud Webb, and Dominique Wilkins) will vote by show of hands to determine the winner without putting a note to this last attempt. It will take place at half-time of the main event.

And the main event is the All-Star Game.

With three representatives in addition to Quin Snyder on the bench of Team LeBron, the Jazz moved strong, but all the big guys were there without notable exception except for injury. We will regret the absence of Kevin Durant, who will have to pass on his captain's armband to Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, and Devin Booker. Nevertheless, it would be difficult not to be hyper by the players who will be present in Atlanta tonight.

# Team Durant: Kyrie Irving, Bradley Beal, James Harden, Mike Conley, Zach LaVine, Donovan Mitchell.

Jayson Tatum, Kawhi Leonard, Joel Embiid, Zion Williamson, Julius Randle, Nikola Vucevic.

Coach: Doc Rivers

#Team LeBron: Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic, Damian Lillard, Ben Simmons, Chris Paul, Jaylen Brown.

LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, Paul George, Domantas Sabonis, Rudy Gobert.
