Across the Big 4 North American sports, the All-Star Game is more about the laughs and the spectacle than it is about winning or losing. The NBA All-Star game definitely falls under that criteria. While the alley-oops and the circus threes are insanely impressive, the story usually becomes about the entertainment that comes when you put some of the most eccentric personalities in sport all under the same roof.

With that in mind, here are some of the most entertaining moments from a memorable 2018 edition of the NBA All-Star Game.
