The pointless and high-profile scrimmage turns into a dunk contest, compiling an impressive highlight reel of athleticism and show-boating.
After enduring the torturous celebrity game - where MVP winner Arcade Fire's Win Butler got bumped after bringing politics into his acceptance speech, and Kevin Hart repeatedly bludgeoned a small child - basketball fans were treated with the follow-up BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge. The glorified Freshman and Sophomore scrimmage saw the United States team beat the World team 157-154.
Referees let their whistles rest unused on their chests, watching dunk after dunk (nearly 50 in total) - show-off moves that recalled drinking games (or more aggressive competitions of punch face) at parties hosted by bored frat guys.
