What is the history of the game?
The first NBA All-Star Game was played on March 2, 1951, at the Boston Garden. The game was originally created to be a one-time event to celebrate the opening of the 24th NBA season. Since then, it has become one of the most anticipated events of the season for basketball fans all over the world.
In the early years of the game, only the starting lineups for each team were announced to the public. The reserve players were not announced until much later. This often led to controversies because some of the best players in the league were not chosen to start. In response to this, starting in 1969, both rosters were made public before the game.
The format of the game has also changed throughout its history. In 1951, for example, there were 11 players on each side. The number of players increased over time, reaching a peak of 12 in 1968. After that, it decreased again to 10 in 1971 and then back up to 12 in 1975. It has stayed at 12 ever since.
Over its 70-year history, the game has been played in some of the most iconic venues in basketball. These include Madison Square Garden (New York), Oracle Arena (Oakland), Staples Center (Los Angeles) and United Center (Chicago).
