L’NBA All-Star Game è uno degli eventi più importanti della stagione NBA. Si tratta di un weekend di gare spettacolari, come la gara delle schiacciate o quella di tiro da tre punti, che culminano la domenica sera con una sfida tra due squadre, composte rispettivamente da una selezione dei migliori giocatori della Eastern Conference e quelli della Western Conference.
NBA All Star è la definizione che viene data a tutti i giocatori della lega nazionale americana che, tramite votazione popolare, vengono scelti per partecipare all’All Star Game. Durante la stagione regolare, che dura circa 6 mesi, i tifosi e gli spettatori della NBA, da tutto il mondo, possono votare alcuni giocatori (considerati i migliori) che secondo loro meritano di partecipare alla partita delle stelle. Una volta effettuata la votazione, vengono scelti i 5 giocatori del quintetto iniziale delle due conference principali, la Eastern e la Western, e i rispettivi compagni che partiranno dalla panchina.
