But since we're in a generous mood, we'll go ahead and list those for you here anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike previous years in which we were given three nights of fun with the Rising Stars Challenge and the celebrity game on Friday night (neither will be played this year), the 3-Point Contest, Skills Challenge, and Dunk Contest on Saturday night, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/magic-johnson-at-the-1992-nba-all-star-game-was-one-of-the-most-emotional-performances-in-history\/\">NBA All-Star Game<\/a> itself on Sunday night, 2021 will be a bit different as all of the festivities will be part of a one-night event in Atlanta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coverage will begin on TNT this Sunday, March 7, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern with <em>TNT NBA Tip-Off<\/em> and will be followed by the Skills Challenge and 3-Point Contest, which are slated to begin at 6:30. The NBA All-Star Game is set for an 8:00 start and the Dunk Contest will take place at halftime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Easy enough, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let's take a look at the NBA All-Star Game rosters and all of the participants for the Skills Challenge, 3-Point Contest, and Dunk Contest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who did LeBron James and Kevin Durant pick for their NBA All-Star teams?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The picks are in for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TeamLeBron?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TeamLeBron<\/a> \ud83d\udd25<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NBAAllStar?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NBAAllStar<\/a> Draft presented by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Nike?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Nike<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/a4hnVhuIRa\">pic.twitter.com\/a4hnVhuIRa<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NBA on TNT (@NBAonTNT) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBAonTNT\/status\/1367646817144479750?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 5, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/jimmy-butler-reportedly-refused-replace-kevin-durant-nba-all-star-game-bam-adebayo\/\">Jimmy Butler Refused to Replace Kevin Durant at the NBA All-Star Game Because of Bam Adebayo<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Kevin Durant won't be playing in the NBA All-Star Game this year due to a strained left hamstring, he'll still serve as captain as one of the teams and joined LeBron James on TNT on Thursday night to set the rosters for this Sunday's matchup.
