When did the All-Star Game of American Professional Men's Basketball Team begin?
1in the autumn of 950, the NBA was just established for four years, but it began to decline. Portos Rove, the first president of the NBA, and walter brown, the president of the Boston Celtics, agreed to select the best players from the East and the West in the middle of the season (when there were only two teams in the NBA *** 1 1) to play a game. 1951On March 2nd, Brown, president of Boston Celtics, provided the Boston Garden Gymnasium for free and held the first All-Star Game.
NBA All-Stars began in 195 1 year. This was the suggestion of Hask Cohen, the head of the public relations department of NBA headquarters at that time. At first, Cohen just tried to imitate the All-Star Game of the National Professional Baseball League. Baseball All-Star Game is scheduled to be held in the middle of each season, so NBA All-Star Game has always followed this habit.
However, the venue is a problem of this activity. Walter brown, the owner of Portland Trailblazers, was the first to express his strong support for the All-Star Game. Brown also announced that he would provide a free venue for this "new" activity-Boston Garden.
On March 2nd, 195 1, the first NBA All-Star Game was held as scheduled, attracting 10094 fans, thus laying the foundation for the All-Star Game. Brown arranged the first two consecutive NBA All-Star Games. Since then, the All-Star Game has been accepted by more basketball fans, and the box office is getting better and better. 1953, the third All-Star Game finally moved to Ford Wayne.
After evolution, the contemporary all-star game developed into an all-star weekend, which lasted for three days, including all-star party, rookie all-star game, dunk contest, three-point long-distance shooting contest, basketball technical challenge, shooting relay race and all-star game. The most exciting ones are Dunk Contest and All-Star Game. In the first dunk contest of 1984, Larry Nance of Phoenix Suns took a ball in each hand and took off to dunk two balls into the basket, named "Thunderbolt Windmill". 199 1, Dublan of Celtic covered his right arm and dunked successfully with his left hand. This move is called "Death Bat" and it is also the way for Cevallos 1992 to win the championship. Bull's Jordan jumped from the free throw line and 1987 flew to the basket, winning the reputation of "flying man". In addition, "All-Star Weekend" also has various competitions and performances for fans and journalists, including "Million Dollar Super Long Distance Throwing Competition".
Nowadays, it is not only the American audience that has the opportunity to vote for NBA All-Stars. Fans from all over the world can log on to the official NBA website and vote for their favorite players in 17 languages. Many media describe the All-Star Weekend as a basketball carnival because it gives fans and players a chance to get in touch with each other at zero distance.
