Dallas, which started out as a franchise in Detroit, will pair Jessica Shepard with Deanna Nolan. Minnesota will have Rebekkah Brunson playing with Courtney Williams.<\/p>\n

Each team will also include a standout high school player from Nike EYBL, bringing together three generations of women\u2019s basketball in one competition. <\/p>\n

The Nike EYBL participants are Jezelle \u201cGG\u201d Banks, Ryan Carter, Tatianna Griffin and Morghan Reckley. Honorary general managers for the WNBA All-Star Game, Cynthia Cooper and Teresa Weatherspoon, will serve as designated passers, with Cooper distributing the ball to two teams and Weatherspoon passing it to the other two teams.<\/p>\n

The format is a two-round, timed shooting competition in which teams have 70 seconds to score as many points as possible from seven shooting locations around the court. The competition features shots ranging from a layup to a 3-pointer, with the two teams posting the highest scores in the opening round advancing to the championship round.<\/p>\n

The shooting stars winners will get $15,000. Each competitor will receive $7,500.<\/p>\n
