00:10made some noise on Saturday by securing a second place finish in the three-point contest.
00:14But Sunday was about making a statement and he did exactly that with his footwear.
00:19He debuted the new Book 2 All-Star Warning Label sneakers for the tournament-style format.
00:25The shoes feature a shiny orange and red upper with matching orange soles and they
00:29come with a black scorpion lace accessory, a nod to the desert. While he didn't wear the scorpion on
00:35court while playing in front of a star-studded crowd that included former President Barack Obama
00:39at Intuit Dome, it's a unique detail you get with the $175 purchase.
00:45Now, on to the games. The format had three teams and Booker was on Team Stars.
00:50They tipped things off against Team World in a game that needed overtime, the first to score
00:55five points in the extra period would win. And after Anthony Edwards hit a mid-range shot,
01:00Scotty Barnes sealed it with a deep three to give Team Stars the 37-35 win. In that one,
01:06Book contributed with his playmaking, dishing out four assists. Their second game was against
01:11Team Stripes. It was a close battle, but Team Stars fell 42-40. Booker was held to two points on
01:17one of three shooting, adding two assists. Now, despite that loss, Team Stars still made it to the
01:23championship game. How? Because Team World lost a tight one to Team Stripes, 48-45, dropping them
01:29to 0-2. So, Booker and Team Stars got another shot at Team Stripes in the final. And this time,
01:34they left no doubt, winning the championship in dominant fashion, 47-21. Booker scored five points,
01:41including a made three, grabbed three rebounds, and dished out two assists in the lopsided win.
