NBA All-Star grades: The best and worst from every event during All-Star Weekend in Utah

It's NBA All-Star Weekend, but not all the stars will shine equally. To highlight the best and worst performances all weekend long, we'll be grading the participants in every event from the Rising Stars on Friday through Sunday's All-Star Game.

All-Star Saturday Night features a series of events, starting with the skills challenge, continuing with the 3-point contest and culminating with the slam dunk competition.

Under a format introduced last year, the skills challenge pitted three teams against each other: Team Antetokounmpo with brothers Thanasis and Alex joined by Jrue Holiday as a replacement for injured Giannis Antetokounmpo, Team Jazz as the hometown favorites and Team Rookies with top-five picks Paolo Banchero, Jaden Ivey and Jabari Smith Jr.
