Every year, there is a huge event that takes place during the half way mark of the regular NBA season. This event is used to bring and to honor the best players in the East and West Conferences. Months ahead, players are voted by fans around the world and are placed on the team accordingly. Sometimes, players there were thought to be in, are not because voting can be based on popularity. In the event, there are also attractions such as the dunk contest, three point shooting contest and skills contest that gives more substance to the event.

The Allstar game is not a game that counts but is offered to bring more excitement to the fans.
