The NBA All-Star game is just a few days away. The festivities of the All-Star game and the general atmosphere make for the most exciting time for NBA players and fans alike.

This year, instead of having an entire week dedicated to the All-Star events, all of it will be done in one night. Several players will get the chance to showcase their talent at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

The most beloved feature of All-Star week is the series of contests that take place during the event. Many players have risen to fame thanks to their performances in these contests.

Players like Michael Jordan, Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Steph Curry, Zach LaVine, Aaron Gordon, and LeBron James have put in some iconic performances during these contests in the past.

With that in mind, here is every player that will take part in the NBA All-Star events this year.
