All you basketball freaks are in for a real treat if you get yourselves tickets to see the NBA All-Star game- it's the perfect way to treat yourself to the best basketball in the world with the very best players of the East coming face to face with the best players from the West. You can watch your favorite stars slam dunk and sizzle on center court while you enjoy a game of basketball at its very best.

The NBA All-Star game began as a tradition way back in 1951 where the very best players from the Eastern Division were pitted against the very best players from the Western Division. The 1951 game was played in the Boston Garden and has been played ever since, proving to be one of the biggest fan events in the NBA.

The NBA All Star game is the smashing grand finale of the All-Star weekend and is always held on Sunday evening. The game is a fitting way to bring the festivities of the All-Star weekend to a close and recently, the game has also seen some major recording stars coming out to celebrate the NBA All Star game- past performers have included Mariah Carey, Outkast, Elton John and Destiny's Child- looks like the NBA All Stars has become the place to be for Pop All Stars as well! The high standard in musicality at the NBA All Star Game can be traced back to 1983 when Marvin Gaye rendered a spine-tingling rendition of the Star Spangled Banner which has become the stuff of legends today.

The NBA All Star weekend consists of a number of events and activities that are aimed at the fans and is a novel way of thanking them for their loyalty and support. Some of the most popular events include the Rookie Challenge, which faces off a selected batch of Rookies with a selected batch of Sophomore players. Though the Sophomores usually win, the Rookies have sometimes managed to pull of some very impressive wins. There is also a Three Point Contest that puts the best three-point shooters around a basket with the aim of shooting as many baskets as they can.

Without a doubt, the most popular event after the actual NBA All-Star game is the Slam Dunk Contest- the NBA already has quite a quota of slam dunkers who seem to defy all laws of gravity and physics- this event allows the fans to see just how creative these slam dunkers can get! Another popular event is the Skills Challenge which makes your favorite NBA players dribble, pass and shoot through an obstacle course.
