Slam Dunk Contest
Although many candidates were not participating, the four contestants included two forwards (Michael Ansley & Harvey Grant) versus two small guards (Mahmoud Abdul Rauf & Kenny Anderson)
Rauf and Grant (both on 76ers) advanced, with Rauf capturing the crown. Dunks seen were named : Soonerific! LSU-whirly-gig! Rambling' Wreck-ingball! Crimson Tide-al Wave!

Long Distance Shootout ContestEight highest 3pt% qualifiers participated in the event. Round one would have the three highest total advance to the second and final round. Eight year vet to a rookie made the event.
Round One had Tim Legler (Suns), Bruce Bowen (Spurs), and Jon Barry(Heat) all advance.
In the end it was the league's leading man, Tim Legler who captured the title.

Nice graphics! Funny group for the dunk contest but good to get a trophy for the Sixers. I'd have probably named the winning dunk the Jihadi Jam though.

GAH Rookie vs Sophomores GamePlenty of GAH young stars on both teams. It was the sophomores that really controlled the entire game, getting up 16 by half. Rookies struggled across the board shooting (40.4%), while the super Sophs shot 53.5% and had +20 rebounds. Shaq somehow received POG even though 8/23 shooting. The Sophs had Mourning, Ceballos, and Gatling really shine, with Mutumbo off the bench with a huge game. Rauf, after grabbing the dunk crown, ran point and got the team the victory.

Looks like Starks got the starting nod for some reason. Lineups totally different than how they were announced. Shock win for the West really. When I was typing out the teams it looked pretty one-sided the other way.

Damn Glen Rice got bullshitted by fans thinking he was voted to start or was nice enough to allow Clyde Drexler to start as a token of the new era about to take over lol
Love and miss most of these players alot
