Every NBA All-Star Weekend has its fair share of great moments.
But for a moment to become truly timeless, then it has to be something which you know is history happening right in front of your eyes.
The great joy of the NBA All-Star Weekend is that there is all different means of creating these big moments – no doubt there are plenty which could've been included and haven't been, like Michael Jordan's first dunk from the free-throw line in the Dunk Contest with Dominique Wilkins and the epic duel between Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine in 2016 – and here is a collection of some of the very best as picked out by the Sky Sports NBA team.
