On Saturday Night during the 2016 NBA All-Star Weekend, the festivites came to a screeching halt when two men took center court to solve their differences.
After Karl-Anthony Towns had an upset victory in the 2016 Skills Challenge but before Klay Thompson would come away as the 2016 Three Point Contest champion and also before Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon would put on a show in the 2016 Slam Dunk Contest, there was a matchup that was highly anticipated. The night before, Draymond Green ripped into Kevin Hart setting the stage for a three-point shootout.

Well, the contest went on without a hitch and although he was slighted by the legendary announcer Michael Buffer, Kevin Hart went on to compete and defy the odds.
The little man ended up coming in clutch and tying the big man in the three-point shootout but Draymond Green was the one who walked away with the big, Kevin Hart-sized trophy. The result wasn’t exactly what the NBA and Foot Locker had in mind considering Dray’s huge trophy was premade with his face on it.
The near loss was so bad that Draymond and Stephen Curry – who actually did lose – had to hug it out and console each other.
