Where is the NBA All-Star Game in 2023? Dates, locations & more for all future cities
NBA All-Star Weekend is an opportunity for the league to showcase its brightest and best stars.
The weekend has given us many legendary basketball moments over the years, from Michael Jordan hitting the free-throw line in 1988 and Magic Johnson’s memorable All-Star Game MVP performance in 1992, to Vince Carter setting a standard set for the dunk contest will likely never be beaten.
Not to mention the late great Kobe Bryant’s four All-Star Game MVPs forever tying him to Bob Pettit.
NBA All-Star Weekend is also an opportunity for players to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the regular season and just have fun with their peers.
The NBA has done a great job over the years dividing hosting responsibilities across cities across the US. The first All-Star game was held at the old Boston Garden in 1951, while the last was played in Cleveland.
