The '''National Basketball Association All-Star Game''' is the annual [[all-star game]] hosted each February by the [[National Basketball Association]] (NBA) and showcases 24 of the league's [[All-star|star players]]. Since 2022, it was held on the third Sunday of February, the same day that the [[Daytona 500]] was held usually the week after the [[Super Bowl]]. It is the featured event of [[NBA All-Star Weekend]], a three-day event which goes from Friday to Sunday. The All-Star Game was first played at the [[Boston Garden]] on March 2, 1951.

The [[starting lineup]] for each squad is selected by a combination of fan, player, and media voting,<ref name="espn.com">{{Cite news|url=http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/18513701/how-new-voting-format-impacted-all-star-starting-lineups|title=All-Star vote FAQ: Did the NBA's new format get things right?|publisher=ESPN|date=January 19, 2017|access-date=July 3, 2017}}</ref> while [[head coach]]es choose the [[Substitution (sport)|reserves]],<ref name="espn">{{cite news|work=espn.com|url=https://www.espn.com/espn/print?id=2751331&type=story|title=Anthony snubbed when All-Star reserves announced|agency=Associated Press|date=February 1, 2007|access-date=February 2, 2007}}</ref> seven players from their respective conferences, so each side has a 12-man roster. Coaches are not allowed to vote for their own players. If a selected player cannot participate because of injury, the [[NBA commissioner]] selects a replacement.

Traditionally, the NBA All-Star Game pitted the top players from both the [[Eastern Division (NBA)|Eastern Division]]/[[Eastern Conference (NBA)|Eastern Conference]] and the [[Western Division (NBA)|Western Division]]/[[Western Conference (NBA)|Western Conference]]. From [[2018 NBA All-Star Game|2018]] to [[2023 NBA All-Star Game|2023]], the teams were represented by the leading vote-getter from each conference and each player regardless of conference was chosen to either team via a draft.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Barnewall|first1=Chris|title=NBA All-Star Game draft results: LeBron James, Stephen Curry select their teams|url=https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-all-star-game-draft-results-lebron-james-stephen-curry-select-their-teams/|website=CBS Sports|publisher=CBS|access-date=26 January 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Smith|first1=Sekou|title=All-Star Draft filled with surprises and even one trade|url=https://www.nba.com/allstar/2019/draft/|website=NBA|date=February 11, 2019}}</ref> The teams also play for a charity of their choice to help the games remain competitive.<ref name="2018 revamp">{{cite web|title=No more East vs. West as NBA revamps All-Star Game format|url=http://www.nba.com/article/2017/10/03/nba-revamps-format-all-star-game#/|website=NBA.com|date=October 3, 2017|access-date=October 3, 2017}}</ref>

The [[head coach]] of the team with the best record in each conference is chosen to lead their respective conference in the All-Star Game, with a prohibition against consecutive appearances.<ref name="espn" /> Known as the "Riley Rule", it was created after perennially successful [[Los Angeles Lakers]] head coach [[Pat Riley]] earned the right to coach the Western Conference team eight times in nine seasons between 1982 and 1990. The coach of the team with the next best record gets to coach instead.

==History==
The idea of holding an All-Star Game was conceived during a meeting between [[Commissioner of the NBA|NBA President]] [[Maurice Podoloff]], NBA publicity director [[Haskell Cohen]] and [[Boston Celtics]] owner [[Walter A. Brown]]. At that time, the basketball world had just been rocked by the [[CCNY Point Shaving Scandal|college basketball point-shaving scandal]].

To regain public attention to the league, Cohen suggested the league to host an exhibition game featuring the league's best players, similar to [[Major League Baseball]]'s [[Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star Game]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/07/03/sports/haskell-cohen-86-publicist-created-nba-all-star-game.html|title=Haskell Cohen, 86, Publicist; Created N.B.A. All-Star Game|first=Richard|last=Goldstein|date=July 3, 2000|work=The New York Times |access-date=June 21, 2010}}</ref> Although most people, including Podoloff, were pessimistic about the idea, Brown remained confident that it would be a success, and he offered to host the game and to cover all the expenses or potential losses incurred from the game.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/web/COM1063351/index.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120302193744/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/web/COM1063351/index.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 2, 2012|title=That's entertainment; Counting down the top 15 All-Star Weekend moments|first=Paul|last=Forrester|date=February 16, 2007|magazine=Sports Illustrated|publisher=Time Warner Company|access-date=June 21, 2010}}</ref>

The [[1951 NBA All-Star Game|first All-Star Game]] was hosted at the [[Boston Garden]] on March 2, 1951, where the [[Eastern Conference (NBA)|Eastern All-Stars]] team defeated the [[Western Conference (NBA)|Western All-Stars]] team, 111–94. Boston Celtics' [[Ed Macauley]] was named as the first [[NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award|NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player]], and the All-Star Game became a success, drawing an attendance of 10,094, much higher than that season's average attendance of 3,500.<ref name="moments">{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/allstar2008/57allstar_moments/1950s.html|title=57 Memorable All-Star Moments–1950s|first=Andrejs|last=Penikis|work=NBA.com|publisher=Turner Sports Interactive, Inc|access-date=June 21, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090305140145/http://www.nba.com/allstar2008/57allstar_moments/1950s.html|archive-date=March 5, 2009}}</ref>

In 2010, the NBA All-Star Game set the attendance record for a basketball game with 108,713 people attending at [[AT&T Stadium|Cowboys Stadium]] in Arlington, Texas. This shattered the existing attendance record previously held at [[Ford Field]] on December 13, 2003, when 78,129 attendees watched [[Michigan State Spartans men's basketball|Michigan State]] play [[Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball|Kentucky]].<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.espn.com/dallas/nba/news/story?id=4886685| title=Jones, Cuban hoping to break 100,000| first=Tim|last=MacMahon| work=ESPNDallas.com| date=4 February 2010}}</ref>

The 2017 All-Star Weekend was originally awarded to Charlotte, North Carolina. On March 23, 2016, North Carolina passed [[Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act|House Bill 2]], also known as a "[[bathroom bill]]", which was seen as discriminatory against transgender persons. As a result, the NBA announced that it would move the game to another city if the bill was not repealed or revised. After North Carolina took no action, on July 21, 2016, the NBA announced that the 2017 game would be moved to New Orleans. In March 2017, after several provisions of the bill were partially repealed, the NBA awarded the 2019 All-Star Weekend to Charlotte.

On October 3, 2017, the NBA and [[National Basketball Players Association|NBPA]] announced changes to the game format, starting in [[2018 NBA All-Star Game|2018]]. Instead of being divided by conference, the top vote leaders for each conference would be team captains and hold a draft to choose among the rest of the starters and reserves, regardless of conference.<ref name="2018 revamp"/>

In 2023, [[Candace Parker]] became the first female [[color commentator]] for an NBA All-Star Game.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nba.com/news/nba-mailbag-candace-parker-for-women-history-month|title=NBA Mailbag: Submit your questions for Candace Parker|website=NBA.com}}</ref>

On October 25, 2023, the NBA brought back the conference-based format for the [[2024 NBA All-Star Game|2024 All-Star Game]]. The untimed fourth quarter (known as [[Elam Ending]]), which had been in used since [[2020 NBA All-Star Game|2020]] in honor of [[Kobe Bryant]],<ref>{{cite web|title=New NBA All-Star Game format makes every quarter count for Chicago charities|url=https://www.nba.com/article/2020/01/30/2020-all-star-game-format-official-release|work=NBA.com|date=January 30, 2020|access-date=January 31, 2020}}</ref> was also removed. However, the charity aspect was retained, with the team that scores the most points in each quarter winning a cash prize that went to their chosen charity.<ref name="2024 revamp">{{cite web|title=Classic format returns for 2024 NBA All-Star Game|url=https://www.nba.com/news/classic-format-returns-nba-all-star-2024|website=NBA.com|date=October 25, 2023|access-date=October 26, 2023}}</ref>

A new format for the [[2025 NBA All-Star Game|2025 All-Star Game]] featured a mini-tournament with four teams of eight players: three teams featuring 24 NBA All-Star selections, and a fourth team composed of the winning team from the [[Rising Stars Challenge]], an exhibition game pitting a mix of NBA rookies and sophomores plus standouts from the [[NBA G League]]. Each team was named after the analysts of ''[[Inside the NBA]]''. The head coaches in the tournament came from the teams who had the best record in their respective conference through February 2, with the assistant coaches from either team taking over the Rising Stars team and the remaining All-Star team. Three games, each to 40 points, were played.<ref name="2025 revamp">{{cite web|title=NBA and NBPA announce new format for 2025 NBA All-Star Game|url=https://www.nba.com/news/2025-nba-all-star-game-new-format|website=NBA.com|date=December 17, 2024|access-date=December 17, 2024}}</ref> 

The tournament format was retained for the [[2026 NBA All-Star Game|2026 All-Star Game]], but the three All-Star teams now consist of a "World" team consisting of eight All-Stars [[List of NBA players born outside the United States|born outside the U.S.]] and two "U.S." teams consisting of 16 All-Stars born in the United States. In the updated format, Team A plays Team B in Game 1. The winner of that game plays Team C in Game 2, and the losing team plays Team C in Game 3. The top two teams after three games would play in the championship game, with the tiebreaker determined by point differential in the first three games. A modified voting format was also introduced, with All-Stars getting selected regardless of position. If the voting does not result in the selection of 16 "U.S." All-Stars and eight "World" All-Stars, then the commissioner will select additional All-Stars in order to reach the minimum of eight players each.<ref name="2026 revamp">{{cite web|title=2026 NBA All-Star Game to feature new U.S. vs. World competition|url=https://www.nba.com/news/2026-nba-all-star-game-new-format|website=NBA.com|date=November 11, 2025|access-date=November 12, 2025}}</ref>

==Rosters selection==
The starting five from each conference consists of three [[frontcourt]] players and two [[guard (basketball)|guard]]s, selected by a combination of fan, player, and media voting. In 2017, the NBA moved from a pure fan vote to a weighted process wherein fan voting accounts for 50%, with player and media voting account for 25% each.<ref name="espn.com"/><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2016/12/19/14007708/nba-all-star-starter-voting-will-now-include-players-media|title=Players and media can now vote on NBA All-Star starters|work=SBNation.com|access-date=2017-07-03}}</ref> Prior to [[2013 NBA All-Star Game|2013]], fans selected two [[forward (basketball)|forward]]s and one [[center (basketball)|center]] instead of generic frontcourt players.<ref>{{cite news|last=Beck|first=Howard|title=The All-Star Center is Officially Extinct|date=October 24, 2012|newspaper=New York Times|url=http://offthedribble.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/24/the-all-star-center-is-officially-extinct/|access-date=October 24, 2012|quote=The N.B.A., bowing to new realities in a multi-positional era, has eliminated "center" from its All-Star ballots for the 2012–13 season.

NBA coaches vote for the reserves for their respective conferences, but they cannot choose players from their own team. Each coach selects two guards, three frontcourt players and two wild cards, with each selected player ranked in order of preference within each category. If a multi-position player is to be selected, coaches are encouraged to vote for the player at the position that is "most advantageous for the All-Star team", regardless of where the player is listed on the All-Star ballot or the position he is listed in box scores.<ref>{{cite news|last=Stein|first=Marc|title=1.

If the replacement is for a fan-selected starter, the All-Star Game coach chooses the replacement in the starting lineup, and is not limited to the commissioner's addition to the roster.<ref>{{cite press release|title=DeMarcus Cousins to replace Kobe Bryant in 2015 NBA All-Star Game|date=January 30, 2015|publisher=NBA|url=http://www.nba.com/2015/news/01/30/demarcus-cousins-all-star-official-release/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150202055419/http://www.nba.com/2015/news/01/30/demarcus-cousins-all-star-official-release|archive-date=February 2, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>

Multiple All-Star players can be chosen from one team, with the record being four. This has occurred nine times, the first such instance being in [[1962 NBA All-Star Game|1962]], when four players each from the [[1961–62 Boston Celtics season|Boston Celtics]] and [[1961–62 Los Angeles Lakers season|Los Angeles Lakers]] were chosen. The most recent game with four All-Star players from one team was the [[2017–18 Golden State Warriors season|Golden State Warriors]] in the [[2018 NBA All-Star Game|2018]] game.<ref>{{cite web |title=Warriors have four All-Stars for second consecutive season |url=https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/home-page/warriors-have-four-all-stars-second-consecutive-season |website=NBC Sports |access-date=June 22, 2021 |date=January 24, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Medina |first1=Mark |title=Klay Thompson, Draymond Green among reserves for 2018 NBA All-Star game |url=https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/01/23/klay-thompson-draymond-green-among-reserves-for-2018-nba-all-star-game/ |website=The Mercury News |access-date=June 22, 2021 |date=January 23, 2018}}</ref>

==The game==
The game is played under normal NBA rules with some differences. Since the starting All-Stars are selected by fans, players, and media, players sometimes start the game at atypical positions. For instance, in the [[2007 NBA All-Star Game|2007]] game, [[Kobe Bryant]] and [[Tracy McGrady]] were chosen as the starting [[Western Conference (NBA)|Western Conference]] guards. As both players normally play [[shooting guard]], Bryant started the game as a [[point guard]]. Gameplay usually involves players attempting spectacular [[slam dunk]]s and [[alley oop (basketball)|alley oop]]s and defensive effort is limited. The final score is generally much higher than a competitive NBA game.

If the score is close, the fourth quarter becomes more competitive. The fourth quarter was changed in [[2020 NBA All-Star Game|2020]] to use the [[Elam Ending]]. In normal Elam Ending rules, the game clock is turned off with four minutes remaining and a target score is set; whoever reaches the target wins the game. In 2020, the NBA took the score at the end of three quarters and added 24 points (in honor of Kobe Bryant, who had been [[2020 Calabasas helicopter crash|killed in a helicopter crash]] a month prior). With Team Giannis leading Team LeBron 133–124 at the end of the third quarter, the target score was 157 points, and Team LeBron won the contest.

The player introductions are accompanied by significant [[fanfare]], including lighting effects, dance music, DJ's, elaborate portable stages, and [[pyrotechnics]]. Special [[uniform]]s are designed for the game each year, usually red for the Western Conference and blue for the Eastern Conference. From 1997 to 2002, players could wear their normal team uniforms. The "host conference" also traditionally has light uniforms, except from 2010 to 2014. In the past, players who wore the same number were given the option to pick a different numeral. For example, [[Patrick Ewing]], who normally wore #33, ended up wearing #3 early in his career as [[Larry Bird]] also had that number. Since 1997, players can keep their uniform numbers. A major recording artist typically sings "[[O Canada]]" and "[[The Star-Spangled Banner]]" prior to tipoff.

[[Halftime]] is longer than a typical NBA game partly due to musical performances by popular artists. The first such halftime show happened in the [[2000 NBA All-Star Game|2000]] game, with [[Kenny Wayne Shepherd]], [[Mary J. Blige]], [[98 Degrees]], [[Montell Jordan]], [[Martina McBride]], and [[LL Cool J]] performing.

;Notes
* <nowiki>*</nowiki> – a city without an NBA team in play during that calendar year.
* ** – a game played at the "third" Madison Square Garden on 8th Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets, site of the first three NBA All-Star Games played in Madison Square Garden (1954, 1955 and 1968).
* *** – a game played at the "fourth" (as of 2017) Madison Square Garden that runs from 31st to 33rd Streets from 8th to west of 7th Avenues above the western half of Penn Station in Manhattan that opened in February 1968, approximately one month after the 1968 game was played in the "old" MSG.
* <nowiki>†</nowiki> – an NBA All-Star Game that is held at an [[National Football League|NFL]] or [[Major League Baseball|MLB]] stadium.
* <nowiki>§</nowiki> – a stadium or arena whose venue name has since changed AND the venue has hosted a subsequent NBA All-Star Game under the alternate name.
* [[Portland, Oregon|Portland]], [[Sacramento, California|Sacramento]], [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]], and [[Oklahoma City]] are the only NBA cities that have not yet hosted an NBA All-Star Game.<ref group=lower-alpha>Although Brooklyn has not hosted an All-Star Game ([[Barclays Center]] did host the Rising Stars Challenge and All-Star Saturday events in 2015), New York City has hosted at the [[Madison Square Garden (1925)|third]] and [[Madison Square Garden|current]] Madison Square Gardens, both home to the [[New York Knicks]].</ref><ref group=lower-alpha>Although San Francisco has not hosted an All-Star Game, Daly City and Oakland each hosted, both previous homes to the [[Golden State Warriors]].</ref> The [[Sacramento Kings|Kings]] did host 2 All-Star Games when they were in [[Rochester, New York|Rochester]] in 1956 and in [[Cincinnati, Ohio|Cincinnati]] in 1966 when they were the [[Rochester Royals|Royals]], and the [[Oklahoma City Thunder|Thunder]] had hosted it twice when they were in [[Seattle, Washington|Seattle]] in 1974 and 1987 when they were the [[Seattle SuperSonics|SuperSonics]]. Thus leaving the [[Portland Trail Blazers]] and the [[Memphis Grizzlies]] as the only two franchises never to play host to an NBA All-Star Game.
* Despite playing in [[Los Angeles]] since 1984, the [[Los Angeles Clippers|Clippers]] never hosted an All-Star Game individually until 2026 with the game set to play at [[Intuit Dome]] in [[Inglewood, California|Inglewood]]. The team previously co-hosted the 2004, 2011 and 2018 games with the [[Los Angeles Lakers|Lakers]] at [[Crypto.com Arena]] (formerly Staples Center), due to being co-tenants of the arena. Its previous incarnation, the [[Buffalo Braves]], never hosted an All-Star Game.
* New arenas that have not hosted the All-Star Game are [[Fiserv Forum]] in [[Milwaukee]], [[TD Garden]] in [[Boston]], [[Kaseya Center]] in [[Miami]], [[American Airlines Center]] in [[Dallas]] (the venue did host the 2010 Rookie Challenge and All-Star Saturday), [[Frost Bank Center]] in [[San Antonio]], [[FedExForum]] in [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]], [[Little Caesars Arena]] in [[Detroit]], and [[Golden 1 Center]] in [[Sacramento]]. 
* [[Market Square Arena]] in Indianapolis and [[Lakewood Church Central Campus|The Summit]] in [[Houston]] were the only former NBA arenas to host All-Star Saturday but not the All-Star Game as the latter took place in bigger venues within their respective cities, in this case the [[RCA Dome|Hoosier Dome]] and the [[Astrodome]].
* Other NFL or MLB stadiums that could host the NBA All-Star Game include [[Mercedes-Benz Stadium]] in [[Atlanta]], [[Ford Field]] in Detroit, [[NRG Stadium]] in Houston, [[Lucas Oil Stadium]] in Indianapolis, [[SoFi Stadium]] in [[Inglewood, California|Inglewood]] ([[Greater Los Angeles|Los Angeles metropolitan area]]), [[U.S. Bank Stadium]] in [[Minneapolis]], [[Caesars Superdome]] in [[New Orleans]], [[State Farm Stadium]] in [[Glendale, Arizona|Glendale]] ([[Phoenix metropolitan area]]), and [[Rogers Centre]] in [[Toronto]]. Lucas Oil Stadium, however, would host the 2024 NBA All-Star Saturday Night events.<ref name=IND/>
* # – [[Arlington, Texas]] does not have an NBA team within its city limits, but it is a part of the [[Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex]] that has an NBA team (the [[Dallas Mavericks]]).
* ‡ – the first game played under the Elam scoring format, where instead of a time limit, the fourth quarter would end when either team reached the target score, defined as 24, in honor of [[Kobe Bryant]], plus whichever team had more points after three quarters. Team Giannis led 133–124 after three quarters, so the target score was 157. [[Anthony Davis]] hit a walk-off free throw to win it.
