NBA All-Star Weekend takes place beginning on Friday night with a variety of competition and exhibitions, and concludes on Sunday with the NBA All-Star Game. This year’s festivities will be held at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario.
The starting rosters for the All-Star game are decided by fan voting, while head coaches from across the league are responsible for selecting the bench players. Cavaliers forward LeBron James (1,089,206) received the most votes for the Eastern Conference squad while Kobe Bryant (1,891,614) received the most votes for the Western Conference.
The selection of Bryant came as a surprise to many NBA fans who believed that Golden State’s Draymond Green was more deserving of a starting role. This season, Bryant is shooting a career-low 35.4% from the floor and the Lakers have the second worst record in basketball. On the flip side, Green has been a triple-double machine and is averaging 14.4 points, 9.6 rebounds and 7.4 assists for the first place Warriors.
The screenshot below displays the full rosters for both All-Star teams along with the number of votes received by each starter.

Since Kobe Bryant has already announced that he will retire at the end of this season, his selection is clearly a sentimental choice by fans who want to see one of the all-time greats on the public stage for one last time. Despite Bryant’s questionable inclusion in the starting lineup, oddsmakers are very optimistic about the Western Conference roster this year.
Last season the Western Conference, who closed as a 4-point favorite, defeated the Eastern Conference by the final score of 163-158. The last two points game on meaningless free throws, giving bettors the unlikely backdoor cover.
Oklahoma City guard Russell Westbrook finished the game with 41 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals and was named MVP of the All-Star game. Despite coming off the bench, Westbrook was listed at just +1600 to win that prestigious award.
This year there are just eight players with shorter odds than +1600 including the clear-cut favorite, Stephen Curry (+350). The 27-year old guard is averaging 29.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists while threatening to join the exclusive 50-40-30 club. Curry’s performance this season is so impressive that he’s listed at -1200 to repeat as the league’s MVP with the field listed at +600.
The table below displays the All-Star game MVP odds from Paddy Power. It will be updated throughout the week as more sportsbooks begin to post their odds.

Sunday’s All-Star game should be thrilling, but many fans are more interested in Saturday night’s festivities which includes the Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest and the Slam Dunk Competition.
While the league has done away with the Shooting Stars competition, this year’s competitions will include a few new wrinkles including the addition of four big men to the Skills Challenge. This event consists of a timed obstacle course that includes dribbling, passing, and shooting stations. Houston’s Patrick Beverly (+650) was last year’s winner after being named as a last-minute replacement for John Wall.

In most years the slam dunk contest is regarded as the night’s most exciting event, but that tide may be changing. Last year Stephen Curry (who closed as the favorite at +325) set the all-time record with 27-points in the final round, including a streak 13 consecutive made shots. This year he will attempt to retain his crown against a talented field that includes teammate Klay Thompson and three other players who are shooting better than 40% from downtown on the season.
Curry will attempt to win the competition in back-back years for the first time since Jason Kapono in 2007 and 2008. Right now he’s listed as the favorite, and it will be interesting to see whether any book offers odds for Curry and/or Thompson vs. The Field. Based on an informal twitter poll, bettors would gladly take the Splash Brothers at even money.

In the evening’s climactic activity, four of the league’s most athletic players will face off in the Slam Dunk Contest. Although the event has begun to lose some of its luster, it’s still must-see television for any basketball fan.
Last season Minnesota’s Zach LaVine, who closed as a -110 favorite, amazed the crowd with two spectacular dunks before coasting to the title. In doing so, he became the second youngest player to win the dunk contest (trailing only Kobe Bryant in 1997). For those who missed this astounding performance, we’ve embedded the video below:
After this impressive performance LaVine opened as a massive favorite (-400) to repeat as champion, but this might be another classic example of overreaction and recency bias. LaVine is an excellent athlete, but we have already seen his repertoire of between the legs dunks? Will he be able to be creative and bring something new to the table this year?
Although he’s not nearly the same caliber of athlete, I’m intrigued by Denver’s Will Barton. He consistently dunks with authority, and that power should help energize the crowd — perhaps the most important aspect of winning the dunk contest.
Unfortunately for Aaron Gordon and Andre Drummond, dunks often lose their luster when they’re coming from big men. Barton’s vertical and hang time make him an intriguing value pick at +400.

[nbafan88]

Curry without a doubt imo...


gotta do some research on Barton... Lavine at -400 is nuts but tough to see him losing


The skills challenge should be interesting with all those big men.... really interesting



The West should win.... just hope its not made into too much of a Kobe show... his odds on winning MVP are quite generous considering most of the players will look for him to win it I think but that could be naive...

 

[nbafan88]

Curry down to +125.... God damn. I'll probably lay upwards of -125.

 

[play ball]

defending champ Pat Beverly pulled out of skills competition.

 

[nbafan88]

305.5 is the highest ASG total we've ever tracked. Previous five totals were 301, 291, 295, 283.5, and 271.5.

 

[utfootball4]

Don't see curry winning, ill take my chances with Klay.

 

[utfootball4]

Where are the usa vs world rosters.

[nbafan88]

Took Curry to win 3 point contest -115

Also took Kobe to win ASG MVP +275

 

[nbafan88]

I don't see how the U.S. Team doesn't cover.

 

[Schrute]

We got a line on the celebrity game?

 

[nbafan88]

Don't see anything Dwight

 

[nbafan88]

wonder if there will be any player props on the game tonight...

i'd take wiggins point prop over anything 25 or less

 

[Tito]

I played the Under 138 in the 1h tonight...bc whats better than rooting for an under in an exhibition game?!?!?

 

[kdog]

Took Curry to win 3 point contest -115

Also took Kobe to win ASG MVP +275

He's the best shooter but I gotta think hoping one of the other 7 gets hot at -125 has more value.

 

[aplous]

Kobe shot attempts Over 60.5 being offered anywhere?

 

[nbafan88]

He's the best shooter but I gotta think hoping one of the other 7 gets hot at -125 has more value.

Totally understand what you're saying but I dont bet on value. I bet on who I think wins.

I think you'd need to hope more so that curry is cold than hope that others get hot. The way Curry shoots is just nuts... betting against him in this is just silly. Redick is the only other real threat imo but he is a different type of 3p shooter

best of luck

 

[dudleysdad]

I have no interest in watching this all star game
the kobe blow job festival
its going to be sickening

 

[emkee]

World ML for me.

More length and Wiggins.

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

Curry 3pt is FREE MONEY -- meaning Curry will NOT win the 3pt show.

 

[nbafan88]

Kobe to win MVP is +105 now on 5dimes

 

[Lareux]

Kobe to win MVP is +105 now on 5dimes

Damn, that's crazy. I took him +225 tonight at a different book.

 

[Lareux]

The thing about the MVP is that the fans vote on it.

 

[dudleysdad]

is it really a fan vote?

 

[Lareux]

is it really a fan vote?

I guess it's only 25% of the vote from what I just read. They made emojis for every player and the vote is being done on twitter

 

[KJ]

bobby jones my guess

 

[KJ]

well that was to a question that disappeared

 

[Lareux]

Sorry, it wasn't as shocking as I first thought....guessing can continue I guess...

last white guy to win the NBA AS game MVP

 

[KJ]

blake griffen

 

[Lareux]

blake griffen

lol

*griffin

:tiphat:

 

[Lareux]

it was John Stockton in 1993...

I initially thought it was Tom Chambers in 1987 but then saw I missed Stockton.

 

[Lareux]

technically Stockton was co-MVP with the Mailman though

 

[KJ]

Chambers a staple in these parts, he's out getting wasted all the time. Lost his bar at one point, probly for the best it was shit

 

[nbafan88]

Blake Griffin is half black

 

[Lareux]

Blake Griffin is half black

Sarcasm is fun

 

[Lareux]

As if Bobby Jones didn't give away the sarcasm

 

[dudleysdad]

Blake Griffin is half black

half white

 

[nbafan88]

I was 90% sure it was sarcasm. Just making sure lol

 

[Lareux]

half white

no such thing anymore. if you're half black, you're black.

 

[Lareux]

I was 90% sure it was sarcasm. Just making sure lol

Blake Griffin never won an AS game MVP, which is what made it even funnier. What would he win for, jumping over a Kia? Starting a fight with someone because he's a pussy?

I also think the state of Blake's game reminds us all that he's half white, no need to make sure.

:cigarguy:

TORONTO - The NBA has unveiled hashtag-triggered Twitter emojis for all 24 NBA All-Stars. The #NBAAllStarTO emojis, revealed on Twitter by entering #firstnamelastname (i.e. #stephencurry, #lebronjames), are now live through Monday, Feb. 15.
For the first time, the Kia NBA All-Star MVP Award fan vote will be conducted exclusively through Twitter. Beginning at the start of the fourth quarter of Sunday's NBA All-Star Game on TNT, fans can register MVP votes during a 30-minute window by tweeting #KiaAllStarMVP and #firstnamelastname in the same tweet.
Announced Thursday on TNT, emojis have also been created for the Turner Sports' Emmy Award-winning Inside the NBA studio team and game broadcast team for use during NBA All-Star 2016 in Toronto. With the lone exception of #shaq, the Turner Sports emojis are also revealed by entering #firstnamelastname.
For the fan vote, retweets will count up to 100 times and the fan vote winner will account for 25 percent of the overall vote. For full voting details, visit www.nba.com/aswtc/.
Following the game, a representative from Kia, the Official Automotive Partner of the NBA and the Official Automotive Partner of NBA All-Star, will present the Kia NBA All-Star MVP Award and donate a 2016 Kia Sorento to the winner's charity of choice.
The league will also be working with Twitter and Vine to bring back "KicksCam" after debuting it at NBA All-Star 2015 in New York City. @NBA will tweet out Vines of the players' sneakers just before they step on the court each night of NBA All-Star 2016. To embrace its global social media fanbase, the NBA was the first professional sports league to include its social media handle on its official game ball when it added the @NBA handle prior to the 2014-15 season.

[Lareux]

Melo's should have just been $$$

That's all he cares about anyway, so why not be honest?

 

[Lareux]

James Harden's could have either been a bunch of numbers to symbolize his stat whoring, or simply a turnstyle because he plays zero defense whatsoever.

 

[KJ]

Why does Steph have a crooked smile and harden looks like he just went down on Khloe the wrong week

 

[nbafan88]

Lol at the haterade

 

[Lareux]

Lol at the haterade

It's not hate at all. It's truth.
