National Basketball Association All - Star game - wikipedia National Basketball Association All - Star game National Basketball Association All - Star Game Frequency Annual Inaugurated 1951 Most recent 2017 ( New Orleans ) Previous event 2016 ( Toronto ) Next event 2018 ( Los Angeles ) Participants Eastern Conference and Western Conference All - Stars Organized by National Basketball Association The National Basketball Association 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 from the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference. Each team consists of 12 players, making it 24 in total. It is the featured event of NBA All - Star Weekend. NBA All - Star Weekend is a three - day event which goes from Friday to Sunday. The All - Star game was first staged at the Boston Garden on March 2, 1951. The starting lineup for each squad is selected by a combination of fan, player, and media voting, while the reserves are chosen by a vote among the head coaches from each squad 's respective conference. Coaches are not allowed to vote for their own players. If a selected player is injured and can not participate, the NBA commissioner selects a replacement. The vote leaders for each conferences are assigned as captains and can choose from a pool of players named as all - stars to form their teams. The newly formed teams will also play for a charity of choice to help the games remain competitive. The head coach of the team with the best record in each conference is chosen to lead their respective conference in the All - Star Game, with a prohibition against repeat appearances. Known as the `` Riley Rule '', it was created after perennially successful Los Angeles Lakers head coach Pat Riley earned the right to coach the Western Conference team eight times in nine seasons between 1982 and 1990. The coach of the team with the next best record serves instead. The 2017 All - Star weekend was originally awarded to Charlotte, North Carolina. On March 23, 2016, North Carolina passed House Bill 2 as a remedy to Charlotte Ordinance 7056. This led to the NBA threatening to pull the game from Charlotte if the bill was not repealed or revised so as to not discriminate against the LGBT community. The NBA announced on July 21, 2016 that the game would be moved from Charlotte to New Orleans.

Brown. At that time, the basketball world had just been stunned by the college basketball point - shaving scandal. In order to regain public attention to the league, Cohen suggested the league to host an exhibition game featuring the league 's best players, similar to Major League Baseball 's All - Star Game. Although most people, including Podoloff, were pessimistic about the idea, Brown remained confident that it would be a success, and he even offered to host the game and to cover all the expenses or potential losses incurred from the game. In the first All - Star Game, the Eastern All - Stars team defeated the Western All - Stars team 111 -- 94. Boston Celtics ' Ed Macauley was named as the first NBA All - Star Game Most Valuable Player, and the All - Star Game became a success, drawing an attendance of 10,094, much higher than that season 's average attendance of 3,500. In 2010, the NBA All Star Game attendance record was set when 108,713 fans jammed Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This shattered the existing attendance record previously held at Ford Field on Dec. 13, 2003 when 78,129 attendees watched Michigan State play Duke. On October 3, 2017, the NBA and NBPA announced the changes to the NBA All - Star Game format starting with the 2018 NBA All - Star Game. The vote leaders for each conferences will be assigned as team captains and will be able to select players from the rest of the starters and the reserves, regardless of the conference they play in, to form their own teams. This marks the first time, the conferences will not play against each other since the inaugural All - Star game. Features of the All - Star game The starting five from each conference consists of three frontcourt players and two guards, selected by a combination of fan, player, and media voting. In 2017, the NBA moved from a pure fan vote to a weighted process wherein fan voting accounts for 50 % of the total and player and media voting account for 25 % each. The league made the change in response to social media campaigns that resulted in mediocre players such as journeyman Zaza Pachulia nearly being voted as All - Star starters over more deserving players., Prior to 2013, fans selected two forwards and one center instead of generic frontcourt players. The NBA in 2003 began offering All - Star ballots in three languages -- English, Spanish and Chinese -- for fan voting of the starters. NBA coaches vote for the reserves for their respective conferences, none of which can be players on their own team. Each coach selects two guards, three frontcourt players and two wild cards, with each selected player ranked in order of preference within each category. If a multi-position player is to be selected, coaches are encouraged to vote for the player at the position that is `` most advantageous for the All - Star team '', regardless of where the player is listed on the All - Star ballot or the position he is listed in box scores. If a player is unavailable for the game due to injury, the NBA commissioner selects a replacement for the roster. If the replacement is for a fan - selected starter, the all - star coach chooses the replacement in the starting lineup, and is not limited to the commissioner 's addition to the roster. It is also possible for more than one All - Star to be selected from one team, but there has never been more than 4 All - Stars represent a team in the game. Most recently was the 2017 Golden State Warriors who had 4 players represent that team ( Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson. ) This has only occurred 8 times dating back to 1962 Boston Celtics and the 1962 Los Angeles Lakers. The Game is played under normal NBA rules, but there are notable differences from an average game. Since the starting All - Stars are selected by fan vote, players sometimes start the game at atypical positions. For instance, in 2007 Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady had the two highest fan vote totals among Western Conference guards. As both players normally play shooting guard, Bryant, who is 6'6 '' ( 198 cm ), started the game as a point guard, despite him also manning the shooting guard position on his team. The player introductions are usually accompanied by a significant amount of fanfare, including lighting effects, dance music, and pyrotechnics. Special uniforms are designed for the game each year, usually red for the Western Conference and blue for the Eastern Conference, but the 1997 -- 2002 games allowed players the opportunity to wear their respective team uniforms, and until 2009 and from 2015 to the present, the host conference wore light uniforms. Originally players from the same team who share a number have the option to either keep or change numbers ( e.g. Patrick Ewing trading his familiar # 33 for # 3 because of Larry Bird wearing the same number ), but since 1997 players from the same team can keep their customary uniform numbers even if they share them. A major recording artist typically sings `` O Canada '' and `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' prior to tipoff. One of the more memorable performances was given by Marvin Gaye during the 1983 game ; Gaye was accompanied by Gordon Banks, who played a tape from an all night session that used numerous elements of soul music and funk, and Banks still has that historic tape of the music to which Gaye sang his soulful version. Gameplay usually involves players attempting spectacular slam dunks and alley oops. Defensive effort is usually limited and the final score of the game is generally much higher than an average NBA game. The coaches also try to give most of the reserve players some time on the court instead of using a limited rotation as they would in a normal game, but giving the starters more minutes because that 's who the fans want to see most. The fourth quarter of the game is often played in a more competitive fashion, if the game is close. Halftime is also longer than a typical NBA game due to musical performances by popular artists. Recent guests have included Michael Jackson, Snoop Dogg, Ariana Grande, Elton John, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, OutKast, Alicia Keys, Shakira, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, Christina Aguilera, and John Legend.
