Four players from each conference are selected as starters by a combination of fan, player, and media voting. Coaches then select the remaining 14 All-Stars. If a selected player is injured and cannot participate, the NBA Commissioner will select a replacement.

The All-Star Game format has been altered several times since its inception in 1951. The most significant change came in 1975 when the game switched from East vs. West to a new concept of having two teams of All-Stars that were mixed together regardless of conference affiliation. This was done to try to address competitive balance issues that had arisen in previous years where one conference would dominate the game because they had more star players than the other conference.

In 2018, the format reverted back to East vs. West after public outcry from fans who preferred the traditional matchup. The current format has the two teams playing each other in a mini-tournament consisting of three rounds:

-A skills challenge where players compete in various shooting and dribbling contests
-An All-Star GameDraft where team captains select their rosters from the pool of All-Stars
-The actual All-Star Game
