The National Basketball Association All-Star Game is a basketball exhibition game hosted every February by the NBA and showcases 24 of the league’s star players.

It is the featured event of NBA All-Star Weekend, a three-day event which goes from Friday to Sunday.

The starting lineup for each squad is selected by a combination of fan, player, and media voting, while head coaches choose the reserves, seven players from their respective conferences, so each side has a 12-man roster.

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.
