The 2019 NBA All-Star Game will be the 68th edition of the exhibition basketball game, played on February 17, 2019, at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. This will be the second time that Charlotte has hosted the All-Star Game; the city first hosted it in 1991. The game will be televised nationally by TNT for the 17th straight year.
The Charlotte Hornets were awarded the right to host All-Star Weekend in May 2015. Commissioner Adam Silver selected Charlotte as the host on May 24, 2017.
The format of the game will see two teams of 12 players compete to achieve the highest score within 24 minutes. The game is divided into two halves of 12 minutes each, and each team is given one timeout per half.[1][2] In total, there are 30 timeouts available for use throughout the entire game (14 for each team).[3]
During stoppages of play, including timeouts, intermissions and officials’ reviews, player substitutions can be made. Twelve players from each conference (24 total) will receive an automatic berth to play in the All-Star Game; these selections are made through a combination of fans’, coaches’ and media members’ votes. These 24 players will then be joined by additional 14 players who will be selected by a panel of NBA basketball operations personnel.[4]
How is the All-Star Game formatted?
The National Basketball Association (NBA) All-Star Game is a basketball exhibition game hosted every February by the National Basketball Association (NBA), matching a mix of the league’s star players, who are drafted by the two players with the most votes. Each team consists of 12 players, making it 24 in total. 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.

What is the All-Star Game MVP?
The All-Star Game MVP is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) award given to the player(s) voted best of the annual All-Star Game. The award was established in 1953 when NBA officials decided to designate an MVP for each year’s game. The league also re-honored players from the previous two All-Star Games. Oscar Robertson is the only player to have won the award three times. Bob Pettit and Michael Jordan have each won the award twice, while 20 other players have won the award once. Pettit is also the only player to have won the award as a rookie.
National Basketball Association (NBA) officials first named an All-Star Game Most Valuable Player in 1953. To honor the earlier games, they named retroactive winners for 1947 and 1948, and again since 1949. They have also provided a corresponding trophy since 1953: Frederick W. crooked Neck Taylor Trophy until 1979, Willis Reed Trophy from 1980 through 1987, Michael Jordan Trophy from 1988 through 1998, and finally Bill Russell Trophy since 1999.
Since its inception, American players have claimed 38 of 61 MVP awards (62%), while international players have claimed 23 (38%). Oscar Robertson has been named MVP most times with three awards; Bob Pettit and Michael Jordan follow with two apiece. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was selected as an All-Star 19 times—the record for most selections—and was named MVP six times during his career; he remains the only player to be selected as MVP in four different decades (1970s–1990s). Jerry West has been selected to 11All-Star teams, but did not receive an MVP award until he was 19 years old in 1972; this made him the youngest player ever to receive the honor at that time. Shaquille O’Neal became just the sixth center in history to be honored as an All Star Game Most Valuable Player when he received his second such accolade in 2000; at age 28 years and 15 days old he became both one of NBA’s youngest winners of this prestigious individual honor and one of only six centers so recognized by NBA voters throughout league history. Dirk Nowitzki born outside of North America became in 2010 just second European—after Tony Parker who accomplished it 2011—to be named NBA’s Regular Season Most Valuable Player Award recipient after averaging 25 points per game during 2009–2010 regular season.[1] Two women have been awarded with one each: Lisa Leslie in 2002 and Candace Parker in 2013 becoming second woman after Sheryl Swoopes who accomplished it 2008.[2] Parker is also daughter of one single man and double mother who was Sheryl Swoopes—making her becoming first ever woman being daughter of female basketball Hall of Famer as well being two time Olympic champion Olympian herself.[3]
