NBA All-Star MVP voting to include use of player emojis

Expect the celebrity-spotting to be on the same level as the Toronto International Film Festival during the NBA All-Star weekend.

And the Canadian influence on the game can be felt outside the boundaries of the basketball court, Thomas pointed out.

The Golden State Warriors will be well represented throughout All-Star Weekend once again this year.

When is it happening?

Where is it happening?

The 6-foot-11 power forward says his game has continued to grow as the year has gone along and acknowledges Carlisle’s help in his transition.

This will be Bryant’s 18th All-Star Game and he was the leading vote-getter across both conferences. They have 17 National Basketball Association all-star appearances between them, but there’s no doubt which ones stand out.

Watch a video for the event below. – This is an important question.

Kobe Bryant has spent a career tormenting the Toronto fan base and now he is set to entertain it as the NBA’s All-Star Weekend descends on Canada for the first time and welcomes Bryant for his swan song.

It won’t have quite the same fanfare as Super Bowl media day, but the idea is the same. But first they will play host to a weekend of entertainment. With the lone exception of #shaq, the Turner Sports emojis are also revealed by entering #firstnamelastname. Coverage will begin at 7 p.m. ET with Kevin Calabro describing the action alongside analyst Jon Barry and reporters Marc Stein and Shelley Smith.

This Canada-heavy celebrity game is going to be a good one.

The cash machine has been installed at BMO’s First Canadian Place flagship location as part of the bank’s sponsorship of the All Star game, which will see the best from the west take on the east, including Toronto Raptor Kyle Lowry. Actor Nick Cannon and former Raptors Chauncey Billups and Muggsy Bogues are on Hart’s team.

Not a bad assemblage of stars. “If you’re going to be identified as an all-star, be an all-star for 82 games plus post-season”.

Everyone listed above is a player worth celebrating, but a common theme among those players is that they all had to go down south to finish their high school careers in order to see the kind of exposure their talents dictated.

This is where the magic happens.

The Three-Point Contest could be the highlight of the weekend, as a field of excellent shooters will take center stage on Saturday night. There aren’t guys dunking over cars or dribbling between cones here, just the best of the best from the Eastern and Western conferences playing alongside one another and going head-to-head with each other.

Following that will be what many consider to be the main event of All-Star weekend: the three-point contest.

We’ll miss you Kobe. RIP.
