Harrison Barnes started the Rising Stars Challenge for Team Shaq and recorded 12 points in 19 minutes.

Dominique Wilkins, Swin Cash and Chris Bosh won it for the East with the Human Highlight Reel taking care of the half-court shots.

Stephen Curry was first to shoot, and his score of 17 was not enough to advance to the finals.

Kyrie Irving won the three-point contest with scores of 18 and 23. If his last money ball in the finals didn't rattle out, he would have tied the all-time record for points in a round.

"The second rack killed me. I was (disappointed) at first, I mean, you want to win. It's a competition and you want to have a good showing. But 17 was a good number for me. Can't be mad at that."

Isaiah Thomas' pick, Raptors' Terrence Ross, won the 2013 dunk contest in a memorable finals against Jeremy Evans, going between his legs and over a young boy for his final showing.

Presiding over his final NBA All-Star Game, Commissioner David Stern foresaw no scenario concerning the Kings in which both Seattle and Sacramento are happy.
