The All-Star Game was first played at the Boston Garden on March 2, 1951. The game is usually held on the last Sunday in February and is played during the NBA’s regular season.
The Process
The NBA All-Star game is an exhibition game played each February by 24 of the best players in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Twelve players are selected from each conference: six frontcourt players (considered the best at their respective positions) and six backcourt players.
All-Star Game starters are chosen by a combination of fan, player, and media voting
All-Star Game starters are chosen by a combination of fan, player, and media voting. Fans account for 50 percent of the vote to determine the starter. NBA players and a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters each account for 25 percent.
All-Star Game reserves are chosen by a vote among the head coaches of each NBA team
All-Star Game starters are chosen by a vote among fans, players and head coaches. Coaches vote for the reserves, and they cannot vote for players on their own team.
Two guards, two forwards and one center who receive the highest vote are named the All-Star starters. A player must appear in at least two games to be eligible for this honor. Reserves are chosen by a vote among the head coaches of each NBA team. Coaches are not permitted to vote for players from their own team.
Coaches vote for two guards, three forwards and two players regardless of position. Under NBA rules, each team must have at least one representative on the All-Star Game roster. In cases where multiple players tie in the voting, the player with the most fan votes is given preference. If there is still a tie, then the coaches’ votes become decisive
