The 2016 NBA All-Star Weekend will celebrate the league’s best players in Toronto this weekend. It’s the first time the All-Star festivities have been held in Canada since the Toronto Raptors and then-Vancouver Grizzlies became the nation’s first pro basketball franchises in the 1995-96 season. 

There are three days of events, beginning Friday with the celebrity game and the Rising Stars Challenge (aka the rookies and sophomores game). Saturday night showcases the skills challenge, slam dunk contest and the 3-point shootout. The weekend concludes with the 65th NBA All-Star Game on Sunday night.
