San Antonio Spurs stars Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul were disqualified from Saturday night All-Star Game celebrations after they found a loophole in the skill competition.

The couple was in the field for the competition where players undergo a number of challenges, including Bounce Passing, Chest Passing, shots from three different places on the floor and dribbling.

When they got to the slide, Wembanyama and Paul just threw the ball against the edge of a time -saving tactics.

It didn’t fly.

They were disqualified because the shooting attempts were destined to be invalid. Wembanyama, the 7-foot-3 Frenchman, who is in his second year in the NBA, said he came up with the idea.

“I don’t regret it. I think it was a good idea, ”he said.

Wembanyama and Paul completed the course in 47.9 seconds, the best among competitors.

The Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green said afterwards that Wembanyama asked others if his plan made sense. Green competed with teammate Moses Moody.

“It certainly sucked to see them throw the ball like that,” Green said. “But what I want to say is that Wemby was walking around the field and asked everyone, ‘Make one or three attempts?’ And Wemby said, ‘Oh, so I can get all three of them up there?’ Then he asked.

Cleveland Cavaliers stars Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley won the event.

Mobley said he had an idea similar to Wembanyama’s time -saving plan. But it was Spurs teammates who were lectured on the competition.

“We tried something that we thought could win,” Paul said. “To see if we had the best time, then … it was fun.”
