This year’s NBA All – Star Weekend was great. Celtics Forward, Paul Pierce, won the 3 Point Shootout over the Warrior’s rookie, Stephen Curry, in the final round. In the first round Pierce had 17 points, tied with the Point Guard from the Denver Nuggets, Chauncey Billups. The rookie, Stephen Curry, scored 18 in the first to take first place. Billups and Pierce went into a 60 second tiebreaker where Paul Pierce made a great score of 20. Billups could only manage a score of 14, so it would be Curry up next to try to beat the score of 20 by Pierce. Curry could only put 17 up on the board, so Paul Pierce is your 3 Point Champion.
The Dunk Contest this year was great. The 5’ 9” Point Guard from the New York Knicks, Nate Robinson, was trying to become the first three - time champion of the contest. Robinson won the contest in 2006 and last year over Dwight Howard. He was going up against a pretty easy field this year and was picked to win by many people. Nate made it to the final round easily getting a score of 44 on his first dunk and a 45 on his second. DeMar DeRozan had the only perfect score of the night, making it to the finals with Nate. Fans got to vote for the winner, and they picked the defending champ, Nate Robinson. Robinson got 51% of the votes and became the first three – time champion of the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest.
