What is the NBA All-Star Game?
The NBA All-Star Game is an annual exhibition basketball game hosted by the National Basketball Association (NBA). It is the main event of the NBA All-Star Weekend. The winners of the game are designated as the home team in the following year’s NBA Finals.
The format of the game changed in 2011; since then, it has consisted of two teams drafted by two All-Star players. The first team to reach 24 points (with a possible 150 total points) wins. Players score baskets for their team and earn foul shots for every foul committed by members of the opposing team. Each player is allowed to play a maximum of 31 minutes.
The game is held in February every year and takes place between mid-January and early February. It was originally held on Saturday night, but was changed to Sunday afternoon in 2002 so that more people could watch it on television. The All-Star Game is generally considered to be a fun event that is not as competitive as a regular season game; however, players do tend to take pride in winning and there have been some close games in recent years.
