After Eric Gordon claimed the All-Star weekend Three-Point Contest Saturday night, TNT's Ernie Johnson gathered together some of the competitors for a tribute to the late Craig Sager. Before anyone knew it, a group of NBA and other stars - including DJ Khaled and Michael B. Jordan were on the floor raining shots, with each made trey representing $10,000 to the SagerStrong charity.
Then Johnson brought out Stephen Curry to try up the ante with a half-court shot. It didn't work out as planned. He couldn't sink one, so Sager's youngest son Ryan got some help with a bucket to bring the total to $500,000.
