The Boston Celtics have been especially well-represented at the 2020 NBA All-Star weekend in Chicago Illinois.
There are two Celtics competing in Sunday night’s main event, and one — point guard Kemba Walker — will be an All-Star starter. The other, third-year forward Jayson Tatum, is a reserve.
The two will play on opposing team, with the Duke product headed to Team LeBron, and the former UConn standout playing for team Giannis.
Tatum also participated in the Taco Bell Skills Challenge as he tried — but failed — to defend in 2019 win in that event, and fan favorite two way center Tacko Fall came along as well to coach the annual Basketball Without Borders camp.

Fall had an even bigger moment that was unscripted and unplanned, as he served as the obstacle for Orlando Magic’s Aaron Gordon to execute arguably the best dunk of the 2020 NBA Dunk Contest.
Clearing the 7-foot-5 Senegalese center didn’t secure Gordon the win, but it certainly left a memorable mark on the often-criticized exhibition weekend.
Tatum also did some coaching with the NBA Cares Special Olympics Unified Game as well.
So far, it’s been a busy weekend for Boston players in Chicago, and Sunday hasn’t even really started — take a look at the photos below to see all the action Celtics players have been involved in to date.
