NBA All-Star Saturday night featured a down-to-the-wire three-point shootout, a classic dunk contest, and for some reason, a Damian Lillard musical performance?

The all-big man finale with Bam Adebayo and Domantas Sabonis was actually pretty thrilling, with Bam taking the win by sneaking in a three-pointer before his opponent. It was a great idea when the NBA included bigs in this contest, and now we’re seeing the fruits of positionless style of basketball reach All-Star Saturday Night.
