We have the skill challenge, 3-pt contest and dunk contest today!
First lets talk about the skill challenge first.
Golden State guard Stephen Curry, the 2011 winner of the Taco Bell Skills Challenge at All-Star Saturday.
The players taking part in the Taco Bell Skills Challenge were:

Stephen Curry won the skill challenge with a final round time of 28.2 seconds to beat Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook.
The next thing coming up is the 3-pt contest!
I was expecting Ray Allen to win the contest, but Heat's Jones outlasts duo of Celtics.
Ray Allen got the highest score among all contestants in the first round, he scored 20. However, he struggled in the final round, so Jones won the contest with 20 points.
Finally, it comes to the most exciting part of the night, the dunk contest!
Of course the spot light was on Blake Griffin, and Blake Griffin edges JaVale McGee to win the 2011 Sprite Slam Dunk Contest.
McGee did a good job indeed, but maybe not good enough to beat Griffin! I was impressed by his dunk in the first round! You will know what I am saying after you watch the highlights. He literally has beaten Doctor J's dunk which was made in the dunk contest 1976 with his two balls and two hoops dunk. However, Griffin had jaws dropping in every corner of Staples Center when he launched himself over the hood of a shiny new silver Kia, caught a pass from L.A. Clippers teammate Baron Davis and jammed it home to beat out the Wizards' Javale McGee to claim the 2011 slam dunk crown. This is the end of the Day 2 of All-Star weekend 2011.
