The 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend has arrived with festivities taking place in the Bay Area.
The Golden State Warriors will host NBA All-Star Weekend for the first time since 2000, a year full of iconic moments such as Vince Carter’s performance in the dunk contest. The events will take place at Chase Center and Oakland Arena.
The star-studded weekend will begin on Friday with the annual Celebrity Game before transitioning to the Rising Stars game. Saturday’s slate includes the skills challenge, 3-point contest and slam dunk contest. The 74th NBA All-Star Game will take place on Sunday.
This year’s game features a new format with four teams competing in a mini-tournament. Three squads — Team Chuck, Team Shaq and Team Kenny — were drafted by TNT’s “Inside the NBA” analysts, while the fourth, Team Candace, is made up of the Rising Stars game champion.
The tournament includes three games: two semifinals and a championship, with each player on the winning team earning $125,000. Second-place players receive $50,000, while those on the third- and fourth-place teams take home $25,000 each.
Here are the highlights from the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend.
