The first NBA All-Star Weekend was held in 1951 in the Boston Garden. Every year, the competition takes place in different cities. In 2025, it will take place from February 14 to 16, and this time it will be in the San Francisco Bay Area. It will be hosted by the Golden State Warriors at the Chase Center. It is the first time the NBA All-Star Game will be held at the Chase Center.
New format
Commissioner Adam Silver has been consulting with Stephen Curry on possible All-Star Game changes. He wants to figure out how to make the event more competitive. The league has changed the format several times in recent years, and 2025 will also feature a different format. A new format being proposed is having three squads of eight players with a fourth team consisting of players from the Rising Stars event.
The NBA All-Star game may not have anything to do with the NBA finals but it is a fun event to bet on. There are usually some interesting prop bets and plenty of All-Star game betting odds available. At Gun Lake’s online sportsbook, you have a range of sports, including basketball, to place bets.
