How Does the NBA All Star Game Work?
Contents
The NBA All Star Game is one of the most anticipated events of the basketball season. But how does it work? Let’s take a look.
What is the NBA All Star Game?
The NBA All-Star Game is an annual exhibition basketball game played between the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference All-Stars. The game is usually played on the Sunday before the end of the NBA’s regular season. The 2020 NBA All-Star Game was played on February 16, 2020.
The game was first played in 1951 as a part of the NBA’s 50th anniversary celebration. It has been held every year since then, except for two years (1954 and 1966) when it was not held due to stadium conflicts. From 1951 to 1961, the game was held solely in Boston, MA. In 1962, it was held in both New York City, NY and Chicago, IL. From 1963 to 1969, the game was solely held in Los Angeles, CA. Since 1970, it has been rotating annually between sites selected by the NBA.
In recent years, the game has been criticized for lacking competitiveness due to a common belief that players are more concerned with representing themselves and their respective cities/conferences well rather than playing to win. This is due to players being selected by conference affiliation rather than merit and because most of the league’s stars often rest during the fourth quarter of such a lopsided affair.
