This weekend, NBA All-Star Weekend, was heavy on dunks. We had the slam dunk contest on Saturday night and the And-1 Mixtape that is the All-Star Game itself. But don't worry, there's plenty of soccer, hockey, and Kenny Smith eye-humping to keep things spicy. First things first, though, let's all watch Zach LaVine dunk forever.Space Jam
God, this is beautiful. Zach LaVine did a whole Space Jam homage on Saturday night, wearing Jordan's jersey from the film, coming out to the music from the film, and pulling off this dunk. I just spent probably 3 full minutes sitting here watching this in the editor while I'm supposed to be talking about Kenny Smith or some shit. Go check out the rest of the dunks here; it was a good show.

There are certainly plenty of explanations for what is going on here that don't involve Kenny Smith looking Carrie Keagan up and down in the middle of a fashion show. But those explanations require more mental gymnastics and are less funny than the one suggesting that Kenny Smith was looking Carrie Keagan up and down in the middle of a fashion show.The Dunk Victor Oladipo Tried to Pull Off
Oladipo had a pretty good night at the dunk contest, he just ran into an unstoppable force in Zach LaVine. In the final round, he tried to pull off this dunk, which would have been awesome, but couldn't seem to get it down. He gave up after five tries and moved on to his back up dunk.Messi and Neymar Make Magic
Messi made a wonderful arcing cross and Neymar finished with an even higher arcing strike to put Barcelona on the board first. They would go on to win 5-0, thanks to a Messi hat trick and a bicycle kick from Luis Suarez, which you can see here.Hockey!
Poor Marc-Andre Fleury. He did everything he could to try and stop Patrick Kane, but Kaner still got him with just about every move in his arsenal.Steph Curry to James Harden
The knock against the All-Star Game, and most league's all-star games, is that there is no defense. the counter argument is this GIF.And This One, Too

Don't think we've just got dunk contest and glorified pick-up game highlights. This was from an actual competition! Norman Powell split Oregon defenders by going between his legs from behind his back and dunked. In a real game.

For every Zach LaVine coming out party, there is Rondae Hollis wondering why he had to pick the one spot the court moppers missed to take off from on what surely would have been the best dunk in the history of life itself.
