The history of the NBA All Star Game goes back to 1951, when the first event was held in Boston Garden in an attempt to regain some public appreciation of the recently scandal-hit league. While the exact rules and format have changed over time, the concept is as simple as it was back then: the NBA All Star Game highlights the best players in the NBA league, dividing them into two teams that will compete against each other in an exhibition match. Usually played for charity, the match is aimed at showing the skills of particularly the forward positions; unlike in a regular basketball game, defence is much more relaxed and so shooters have the opportunity to show off incredible slam dunks and other moves like alley oops.
