A pair of former Blue Devils, Boston’s Jayson Tatum and Orlando’s Paolo Banchero, played in the NBA All-Star Game over the weekend and helped lead the Eastern Conference to a 211-186 victory over the Western Conference.
Tatum was named one of the five starts in the East in his fifth All-Star nod, while Banchero made the NBA’s biggest weekend for the first time in his career. Both of their teams would be in the playoffs if the season ended at the All-Star break, and Tatum’s Celtics have the best record in the league at 43-12.
On top of the two of them sharing the court with legends like LeBron James and Kevin Durant, a third former Duke player got to see the court over the weekend. Dereck Lively II helped lead his team to the Rising Stars Challenge championship.
Here’s a look at how Duke’s biggest NBA stars handled the spotlight of All-Star Weekend, from the game to everything in between.
