All the Boston Celtics’ All-Star Week contest wins in NBA history

Celtics NBA the Boston Celtics Boston Celtics Gerald Green Larry Bird Jayson Tatum Paul Pierce Celtics Lab Podcast Dunk Contest

In the spirit of the 2024 NBA All-Star Week festivities currently underway in the city of Indianapolis, Indiana, we lean on an account by our sister site HoopsHype of which team’s players have won the most All-Star Week contests over the years.

The Dunk Contest, Skills Challenge, and 3-Point Contest may not be the focal point of the annual gathering of NBA stars and rising prospects held by the NBA each winter. But they are an integral part of All-Star Week festivities just the same, and over the course of the league’s history of having such competitions, the Celtics rank quite high in winning them.

Let’s take a look at those won by Boston Celtics over the years.
