NBA All-Star Weekend kicks off in Inglewood, California, beginning with the Celebrity Game on Friday, followed by the three-point and slam dunk contests on Saturday, and culminating with Sunday’s main event.

This year’s new format divides rosters into Stars, Stripes, and International teams competing in a round-robin tournament.

What do we think about this new format? Is this the change the NBA needed, and what are we most looking forward to this weekend?

We break down the structure, expectations, and whether this year feels different.
