The 2019 NBA All-Star weekend is approaching, and if there’s one theme developing so far, it’s friendly rivalries.

The entire list of Saturday event participants was released Tuesday, and we now know for sure that brothers Steph and Seth Curry will compete in the three-point shootout. (I guess their father, Dell, couldn’t make it.). Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki will also be a part of the festivities in what will likely be his final NBA season.

In the skills competition, rookies Luka Doncic and Trae Young (who were traded for each other on draft night) will also participate. This should be fun! And it definitely won’t cause Hawks or Mavericks fans to overreact about who their team drafted.

And the dunk contest has a quartet of young players with potential, headlined by new Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr.

There will definitely be a new skills competition winner this year, as Spencer Dinwiddie will sit due to thumb surgery. Devin Booker, who won the three-point contest, will compete again. Donovan Mitchell, who won last year’s dunk contest, will not return.
