The 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend kicked off Friday with the celebrity game and Rising Stars Challenge, but Saturday’s action took the cake.
If there had to be a singular winner of All-Star Saturday, it’d Philadelphia 76ers guard and slam dunk contest champion Mac McClung. McClung, who is under a two-way contract with the Sixers and their G-League affiliate the Delaware Blue Coats, dominated the competition, receiving a score of 50 in all but one instance.
The event’s host state of Utah dominated the day otherwise. The hometown Utah Jazz trio of Jordan Clarkson, Jabari Smith Jr. and Collin Sexton cruised to victory in the skills challenge and Damian Lillard, who went to college outside of Salt Lake City, secured another win for Utah by coming out on top in the 3-point contest.
