Whether it was old friends teaming up, flashes of nostalgia or just straight highlights, this year’s All-Star Game had a little bit of everything.
To help digest everything we just saw, here are the game’s top 10 moments, ranked.
10. Giannis throwing it off the backboard to himself on a free throw attempt
Remind you of anyone?
9. KD and Embiid beefing all night

It was quite the Jokic-esque pass.
And the recipient was, guess who, Jokic.
7. Russ celebrating a Paul George three before he’d even shot it

When you know, you know.
6. Paul George’s 360 dunk
Where were you last night, PG?
5. Steph’s reverse dunk off the bounce
Where the hell did that come from?
4. D-Wade lobbing it up for LeBron, just like old times
The play was dope.
The nostalgia was even better.
#OneLastTime 🙌🏼

3. Steph’s four-point play over Klay
He really kicked his leg out too.
2. Dirk checking in and hitting back-to-back threes
What a farewell moment!
This was perfect.
As was Dirk’s trash talk.

1. Steph bounces one into the rafters for a waiting Giannis
This was clearly the play of the night.
That ball damn nearly came down with ice on it.
