As announced Thursday night, Wizards rookie John Wall will be participating in the NBA Skills Challenge as part of this weekend's all-star festivities. Fellow rookie Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers, will be taking part in Saturday night's dunk contest, along with the Wizards' Javale McGee.
The performance of both rookies will be widely anticipated, but does the NBA All-Star Weekend enjoy the same buzz it did when Michael Jordan was winning the dunk contest and Larry Bird was winning the three-point contest? Is the new generation of stars even more electrifying? Or has the saturation of highlight shows throughout the rest of the year made this just another sideshow?
