The NBA All-Star Weekend has finally arrived. Just like last year in Toronto, Philadelphia 76ers guard Nik Stauskas has taken over the TSN Snapchat account and got up close and personal with some of the game’s current and future stars during media day on Friday. He got the day started by catching up with the Slam Dunk Contest participants.
 

Phoenix Suns rookie Derrick Jones Jr. won’t have to worry about Rock, Paper, Scissors in Saturday’s Slam Dunk Contest, which is definitely a good thing, but not if you’re one of the other participants.

Stauskas might have found a new rival during his time at media day, Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward.
 

Hayward might be his new rival, but Draymond Green is one of his oldest rivals due to where they both went to school
 

Despite playing in the same conference and division as the Toronto Raptors, the Mississauga, Ontario native will always have love for his hometown team.

Even though Stauskas has played in the NBA for the last few years, even he had trouble getting anywhere close to Steph Curry.
 

As much as we enjoy having Stauskas running the show behind the scenes during NBA All-Star Weekend, he’s hoping to be on the other side of things in the near future.
