NBA All-Star 2025 grades including Rising Stars, dunk contest - ESPN

The NBA's All-Star Weekend wrapped up Sunday, and we graded the competitors for all the events, including the revamped All-Star Game that featured four squads facing off in a tournament-style format at Chase Center in San Francisco.

In Sunday's main event, Shaq's OGs won the tournament and Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry earned MVP honors at his home arena. His team first beat Candace's Rising Stars before defeating Chuck's Global Stars in the final. LeBron James, who was named to a record-extending 21st All-Star Game, was a late scratch due to discomfort in his left foot.

Saturday night featured the skills challenge, which was dominated by the Cleveland Cavaliers duo of Evan Mobley and Donovan Mitchell despite the controversy surrounding the disqualification of San Antonio Spurs partners Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul. The sharpshooters of the league then went head-to-head in the 3-point contest, with Damian Lillard going for a three-peat. But he was dethroned by Tyler Herro.

The highly anticipated dunk contest did end in a three-peat as reigning champion Mac McClung took the trophy home once again after a battle against Rising Stars MVP Stephon Castle.

The festivities kicked off Friday with the Rising Stars event, where the winning side of the four-team tournament featuring first- and second-year NBA players (plus one G League squad) booked a spot to participate in Sunday's main event.

Let's get to the grades and assess how each player performed this weekend.
