The NBA All-Star weekend is here. We’ve made it through more than half of the NBA season at this point, and the reward for players and for fans is a nice week or so off from stressing about wins and losses. Now, we get to celebrate the skills of the NBA.
One of the first things that occurs during NBA All-Star weekend is the Rising Stars Challenge. The Rising Stars Challenge is a showcase of the young generation in the NBA, and the game is made up of rookie and sophomore players.
This year, and for the past few years, the game has been divided up into two teams — one with players who are from here in the United States, and one with players from international countries.
