Although the Western Conference won the game handily 192 &#8211; 182, there were plenty of wonderful moments over the course of the weekend to go around. From Eric Gordon\u2019s giant-slaying in the Three-Point Contest to Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook\u2019s (kind of) extended olive branch, All-Star Weekend offered something for everybody.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without further ado, here are CoachUp\u2019s Top 10 Moments from the 2017 All-Star Weekend.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>10.

Over the last few years, the NBA has pitted four guards and four forwards against each other in a dribbling, passing, and shooting contest. After all was said and done, the finals put the New York Knicks\u2019 unicorn Kristaps Porzingis up against Gordon Hayward.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, it was Porzingis\u2019 ability to hit a quick three-pointer that would clinch the Knicks their first thing worth celebrating all season. Little victories.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>9.

While he eventually fell against Glenn Robinson III in the finals, Jones Jr. showed up in his first appearance on the NBA\u2019s biggest stage. Something tells me that we\u2019ll see Jones Jr. again next season for another jaw-dropping run at the title &#8212; with dunks like these, who would complain?<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>8.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><strong>LeBron James is still a machine<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span contenteditable=\"false\" data-mce-object=\"iframe\" class=\"mce-preview-object mce-object-iframe\" data-mce-p-allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-p-frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-p-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TeQNgwVBkn4\"><iframe data-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TeQNgwVBkn4\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><span class=\"mce-shim\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case you hadn\u2019t noticed, the NBA still belongs to LeBron James, who has now appeared in every All-Star game since 2005. His late-game minutes went to newbies like Isaiah Thomas and Kemba Walker, but James lit up the first half with dunk after dunk that reminded us of the&nbsp;unstoppable, game-winning mode he effortlessly moves into at times. Without Tim Duncan or Kobe Bryant in the league, James and fellow 2003 draftee Carmelo Anthony are now the NBA\u2019s oldest All-Stars &#8212; where does the time&nbsp;go?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyways, enjoy James while he lasts &#8212; the future Hall of Famer is a one-of-a-kind talent.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>7.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><strong>Jamal Murray lights up the Rising Stars Challenge&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span contenteditable=\"false\" data-mce-object=\"iframe\" class=\"mce-preview-object mce-object-iframe\" data-mce-p-allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-p-frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-p-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/raooqfayrIQ\"><iframe data-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/raooqfayrIQ\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><span class=\"mce-shim\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the rest of the world rightfully has Joel Embiid fever, much of the NBA-watching world has missed out on the Denver Nuggets\u2019 Jamal Murray, a blisteringly hot shooter that hails from the University of Kentucky. Murray, who would take home the game\u2019s MVP in a landslide, beat out trendy picks like Towns, Dario Saric, and the hometown hero, Buddy Hield by nailing nine three-pointers in the win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most look forward to Sunday\u2019s matinee as the big treat, but watching the next up-and-coming class on the national stage is always fun too.

Hailing from another fantastic basketball family &#8212; we see you, Dell! &#8212; Robinson dispatched the competition\u2019s two favorites, DeAndre Jordan and the aforementioned Gordon, and held off the springy Jones Jr. until the very end. His contest-winning dunk saw him leap over some innocent bystanders en route to an emphatic reverse slam &#8212; well worth the price of admission if you ask me.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>4.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><strong>Stephen Curry rocks the headband and hits 5 three-pointers in the win<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span contenteditable=\"false\" data-mce-object=\"iframe\" class=\"mce-preview-object mce-object-iframe\" data-mce-p-allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-p-frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-p-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HRLR-0yh0jo\"><iframe data-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HRLR-0yh0jo\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><span class=\"mce-shim\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although our dude Stephen Curry couldn\u2019t quite reach the phenomenal performances of Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook &#8212; more on them in a bit &#8212; CoachUp\u2019s very own put up a scorching-hot line from behind the arc. His 21 points, 6 assists, and 5 three-pointers were more than enough to help the Western Conference secure another convincing victory. Those 21 points were tied for the third-most on the team with Kevin Durant, and it was fun to watch our back-to-back MVP launch from an unlimited range once again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(We\u2019re big fans of the red headband too, by the way, Stephen!)<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>3.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><strong>Eric Gordon wins the 3-Point Contest&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span contenteditable=\"false\" data-mce-object=\"iframe\" class=\"mce-preview-object mce-object-iframe\" data-mce-p-allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-p-frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-p-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EF2UJeUSkIU\"><iframe data-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EF2UJeUSkIU\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><span class=\"mce-shim\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To the casual viewer, Eric Gordon came into the 3-Point Contest as a mere afterthought and with a stacked field that included Klay Thompson, Kyrie Irving, and Kyle Lowry, who could blame them? Instead, it was Gordon &#8212; who has knocked down the fourth-most 3PM in the NBA this season &#8212; that stole the show. After tying Irving in the dying moments of the championship round, the two sharpshooters needed an overtime round to decide the winner, but we suggest you check it out for yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meet your new champion, Eric Gordon!<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><strong>Russell Westbrook + Kevin Durant dap it out, drop ridiculous stat lines<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span contenteditable=\"false\" data-mce-object=\"iframe\" class=\"mce-preview-object mce-object-iframe\" data-mce-p-allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-p-frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-p-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Oq5K8gnz0d8\"><iframe data-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Oq5K8gnz0d8\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><span class=\"mce-shim\"><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before Anthony Davis decided to single-handedly end the game on his own, the story of the night had to be Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant sharing the court for the first time since the latter left the Oklahoma City Thunder in July.
