T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam
The square off between the NBA’s top Rookies and second-year players in the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam proved to be quite an aggressive one. Ending a seven-year losing streak, the Rookies prevailed in a 140-128 win over the Sophomores.

Sacramento’s Tyreke Evans scored 26 points and was the game’s MVP. San Antonio’s DeJuan Blair who went into the game with the intention of getting every rebound had a 20-20 effort with 22 points and a record 23 rebounds.

H.O.R.S.E. Competition presented by Geico
Oklahoma’s Kevin Durant topped Rajon Rondo (Boston Celtics) and Omri Casspi (Sacramento Kings) to win the H-O-R-S-E Competition.

NBA All-Star Saturday Night
The NBA All-Star Saturday Night for the most part was quite eventful. The night’s most anticipated event though was not. While this year’s Slam Dunk contestants were quite capable of producing dynamite dunks for some reason they all seem to have held back. Even though each man’s performance didn’t leave the crowd with too much to talk about, history was made by Nate Robinson of the New York Knicks who is the first to become a three-time winner.

Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks, analyst Kenny Smith and Becky Hammon of the San Antonio Silver Stars took home the trophy for winning the Shooting Stars competition.
Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics earned the 3-point shootout crown while Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns rose to the top in the Skills Challenge.
