All Star Add-Ons Outcome

Slam Dunk Contest: For the third time, the 5'9 Nate Robinson has won the Slam dunk competition. In doing so, becomes the player to do so in the history of the dunk contest. Previously I said that I predicted the champion would be either Shannon Brown or Nate, (See All-Star Dunk Off.) and was right, partially. Although there were high hopes for Shannon Brown, both of his dunks failed to impress, and he was unable to leave the first round. Gerald Wallace, like Shannon failed to leave the first round, although he did have a nice reverse two-handed dunk. So that leaves Demar DeRozan, who barely made into the dunk contest, and Nate Robinson going into the final round, Demar, aided by the only perfect score in this year's with his second attempt in the first round. In the final round, Nate Robinson came snagged the most of the fans votes to win his third dunk contest. Overall, other then Nate setting a record, this year's dunk contest was a bit unspectacular, especially compared to last year, with Dwight Howard Superman cape and Nate Robinson's "Kryptonnate" jersey, which brough the contest to a whole new level. Even though Nate has won more dunk titles, the dunk contest need Dwight Howard because of the excitement he brings to the dunk contests.

Foot Locker Three Point Shootout: This year's shootout was won by Paul Pierce, who's 20 points beat rookie Stephon Curry's 17. Making it out of the first round was Paul Pierce, Chauncey Billups, and Stephen Curry, with Danillo Gillanari, Channing Frye, and last year's champion Daequan Cook eliminated in the first round. Stephen Curry's dad, Dell Curry competed in the three point shootout when he was in the NBA, but never made it out of the first round, unlike his son.

H.O.R.S.E: Every time that the All Star H.O.R.S.E. competition has been held, it has been won by Kevin Durant. Never mind the fact that the competition was first held just last year. (The actual game has been around for years, but it was added to all star weekend last year.) After Kings rookie Omri Casspi was eliminated by Rajon Rondo, the competition was very close between Rajon and Kevin. Rajon connected on multiple threes to keep himself alive when he was on his last letter, but he finally missed, and Kevin Durant ended up with his second H.O.R.S.E. title.

Skills Challenge: Deron Williams and Steve Nash had both won the Skills Challenge prior to 2010, which is why it isn't surprising that both of them advanced to the final round while Russel Westbrook and Brandon Jenning were both eliminated in the first round. Deron Williams was looking like a winner in the final round until one of his passes missed it's mark and Deron had to retry his pass, greatly effecting his time. Steve Nash proved his greatness as a point guard by beating Deron's time to win another Skills Challenge.

Haier Shooting Stars: The home team of Texas proved themselves superior to this year's Los Angelos team by beating them in the final round. For a second, the half court shot looked like trouble for Texas as they couldn't seem to sink their final shot, but Dirk Nowitzki managed to drain the shot after a few tries. This year's other two teams, Atlanta and Sacramento both failed to pass the first round of the competition.
