NBA All-Star Weekend has taken over Los Angeles, and while All-Star Saturday night will be difficult to top, the 60th NBA All-Star Game is the main event of the weekend, and gets its moment in the spotlight today. Blake Griffin better get his rest after shining with seven dunks in the Rookie Challenge Friday, then dunking over a Kia to win the 2011 Slam Dunk Contest Saturday, because he is also slated to play in today's game, continuing Griffin's busy weekend. Here is Sunday's full NBA All-Star television schedule.
