NBA All-Star 2014 takes place this weekend in New Orleans and
basketball fans around the United States and across the world will be
treated to an action-packed weekend of fantastic games and events that
will eventually lead up to the climax - the 63rd NBA All-Star 2014 Game,
which takes place at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday.
All the action this weekend can be watched on NBA TV, TNT and ESPN, and can be watched online through free live stream (details below).
A full schedule with all the games and start times can be seen below at the foot of this article.
On Friday, the NBA All-Star 2014 weekend events kicked off with the All-Star celebrity game, and the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge.
On Saturday things will continue with the NBA on TNT All-Star Challenge, with coverage starting at 7 p.m. ET. State Farm All-Star Saturday Night will be on TV on TNT and will include Sears Shooting Stars (1st Event), Taco Bell Skills Challenge (2nd Event), Foot Locker Three-Point Contest (3rd Event), and the Sprite Slam Dunk (4th Event).
The NBA All-Star Game is all about star power. It's a chance for fans to witness LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and Blake Griffin, among many other fan favorites, all on the court at the same time to light up the scoreboard. However, it's also a chance for the next wave of superstars to take center stage.
The tendency is often for those younger players to steal the spotlight because the experience is still fresh for them and they want to prove that they belong alongside the likes of James and Durant. With that in mind, let's check out three rising stars likely to make their presence felt in a major way during this year's All-Star Game. While they are all making their first or second appearance, there should be plenty more on the horizon for all three.
The legendary Wilt Chamberlain holds the record for most points in an All-Star Game with 42. Don't be surprised if Curry makes a run at that figure at some point in his career because the style of play is perfect for a pure scorer like the Golden State Warriors guard. It could even happen this year.
By his shooting standards, he went through a lull in November and December. He shot below 45 percent from the floor and 40 percent from beyond the arc. He started to heat back up in January, though, and has been back to his usual self this month leading up to the All-Star break. That includes a 34-point outburst against the Chicago Bulls. As illustrated by NBA Stats, he was red-hot from all over the floor:
