On The Watch “It’s All About The 70th 2021 NBA All-Star Game”

This year, the 70th annual NBA All-Star Game will be hosted in Atlanta, Georgia at the State Farm Arena on Sunday night March 7, 2021. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic still looming in the world, and unlike past All-Star weekends, the usual entertainment like the Skills Challenge, 3-Point Contest and Dunk Contest will all take place on the same night as the NBA All-Star Game. The 3-Point Contest and the Skills Challenge will be preceding the game while the Dunk Contest will take place at the halftime break of the NBA All-Star game.

Once again, the league is maintaining the Draft-Style format and the starters were chosen by the fans while the rest of the squad was selected by the media and current players.
