Here Are the Best Plays and the MVP From the 2017 NBA All-Star Game
What went down at the Smoothie King Center.
Another NBA All-Star Weekend has come and gone and of course it was a weekend filled with basketball bliss. From Pacers forward Glenn Robinson III winning the Slam Dunk Contest to watching Westbrook and Durant interact, these are the memories that will live on in the hearts of basketball fans. Taking place for a second time in New Orleans, the NBA All-Star Game saw the best players from the Western Conference take on the best from the Eastern Conference, all heating up the Smoothie King Center. With a final score of the West beating out the East 192-182, Pelicans’ Anthony Davis set an NBA All-Star Game record with 52 points — surpassing Wilt Chamberlain’s All-Star Game record — and was aptly named MVP. Check out some of the best plays during the All-Star Match below.
And if you missed out, the Golden State Warriors were heavily roasted on social media for it’s All-Star photo shoot.
