The best highlights from the 2024 All-Star Game
Western Conference captain LeBron James showed why he was the lead vote-getter with his patented one-handed cocked back flush. James burst through the middle of the floor in the first quarter and punished the rim with a vicious slam that got the crowd going:
Hometown All-Star Tyrese Haliburton made good on one of the most elusive behind-the-back dimes you’ll ever see to Giannis Antetokounmpo on the fast break in the first half, which made the announcers calling the game shout out the league’s assist leader for his impeccable feel:
All-Star Game MVP Damian Lillard did what he does best. The Milwaukee Bucks deadeye shooter confidently stepped into a 51-foot bomb as if it were a layup, cashing in on the haul in classic fashion as the signature highlight of the night.
Minnesota Timberwolves big man Karl-Anthony Towns was a man on a mission, and put a stamp on his 50-point outing with a eurostep finish in transition that brought a high level of footwork to the game’s highlight reel.
Trae Young put Kevin Durant on ice with a slick dribble between his legs that boggled more than the minds of the Western Conference’s defenders on the floor at the time. Young finished the million-dollar move with a million-dollar finish, a smooth floater in the lane.
There were a host of other highlights that wowed, including a one-legged three from Donovan Mitchell and a reverse dunk from Antetokounmpo. The highlights on display made the 2024 All-Star Game a fun watch, as it usually is every year.
