## Sunday events
### Shooting Stars

The Shooting Stars commenced for the second consecutive year. There was one PBA courtside reporter, one government official, one sportswriter and a lucky fan. Team Yellow led by Tiebreaker Times sportswriter Justine Bacnis won the Shooting Stars.

### All-Star Game

The format of the all-star game was patterned after the NBA's version, wherein fans voted up to 24 players and two coaches. The two players with the highest number of votes became the team captains and selected their teammates via draft. The game also included a four-point line and a three-point dunk, similar to the earlier Blitz Game.

#### Rosters

The voting started on December 3 and ended on February 7. The final results were announced on February 21, with Mark Barroca of Magnolia Chicken Timplados Hotshots and Japeth Aguilar of Barangay Ginebra San Miguel emerging as the top vote-getters and thus are the two opposing captains during the All-Star Game.
