NBA All Star Weekend 2019- Skills Challenge, 3 Point and Slam Dunk Winners

Skills Challenge Winner: Jayson Tatum

After beating Conley, Jokic, and Young, Jayson Tatum won the 2019 NBA All Star Skills Challenge. Tatum shot a near half-court shot to beat Young after falling behind early in the championship round. The trickiest part for Tatum was the chest pass, missing at least one in the first two rounds. A very solid win for Tatum who wasn't favored at all to win the challenge, as he had one of the worst odds to win it out of all of the competitors. Congratulations to Jayson Tatum for winning the 2019 NBA All Star Skills Challenge!!

3 Point Shootout Winner: Joe Harris

Harris scored 25 in the first round of the shootout which got him through to the championship round. In the championship round, Harris edged out Curry with 26 points to Curry's 24 points and won the NBA 2019 All Star 3 Point Shootout. Harris was lights out on the money ball rack as he made all of them on the final rack in the championship round. Stephen Curry started out making 9 in a row in the championship round but struggled on the 3rd and 4th racks. Harris beat one of the best 3 point shooters of all time in impressive fashion. Congratulations to Joe Harris for winning the 2019 NBA All Star 3 Point Shootout!!

Slam Dunk Contest Winner: Hamidou Diallo

Diallo put on a show when he dunked tonight. Each dunk captivated the judges and they gave him high scores in the first round. In the championship round, Diallo took down Dennis Smith Jr. with a bounce-slam-down dunk for his first and a mini two-handed windmill over Quavo and won the 2019 NBA All Star Slam Dunk Contest. But, his most impressive dunk of all was his elbow dunk over Shaq for the SUPERMAN! This dunk was by far the best one of the night. Diallo jumped over a 7 foot 1 inch man with the smooth finish. Very very impressive. Congratulations to Hamidou Diallo for winning the 2019 NBA All Star Slam Dunk Contest!!
