"The NBA Shooting Stars competition returns to All-Star weekend after an 11-year hiatus, the league announced on Saturday with four teams set to compete in the Feb. 14 event. The Shooting Stars competition will feature a two-round format in which all teams participate in the first round with the top two advancing to the final rounds. Teams will be given 70 seconds to score points by hitting shots at seven locations on the court with each team member shooting in a set order at each spot."
""They used to compete all the time," Ron Harper told ESPN. "I used to always say [to Ron Jr.], 'You better be careful because when Dylan gets your size, he's going to be tough. He would just say, 'Dad, I'm going to beat him up all the time.' I said, 'I'm telling you, when he gets to 13 or 14 [-years old] he's going to be just as strong as you.' And it came true.""
