NBA All-Star weekend offers All-Star Saturday Night with the dunk contest, 3-point contest and skills challenge tonight. Schedule, time and how to watch.

Here’s some of what to know about All-Star weekend: Mostly TNT and TruTV. Here’s the rundown (all times Eastern): Friday — All-Star celebrity game, 7 p.m. (ESPN); Rising Stars competition, 9 p.m. (TNT, TruTV) Saturday — NBA All-Star practice, 2 p.m. (NBA TV); NBA HBCU Classic, 5 p.m. (NBA TV); All-Star Saturday Night, 8 p.m. (TNT and TruTV)

It’s true that fans will indeed see more of Shaq (who just inked a new deal), Charles Barkley (who’s aiming to stay) and co. Still, as awkwardly timed or unnecessary as the All-Star game tribute may have been, I can appreciate that the producers wanted to give the host their flowers.
