For the first time ever, the NBA All-Star Game has become a three-game tournament between four teams. Three teams of eight will be made up of All-Stars, while the fourth team will consist of the winners of the Rising Stars tournament for first and second-year players. In each game, the first team to reach 40 points will be the winner.
While we may have a new format, the games will still feature a selection of the best players in the world. From the Western Conference, the likes of Nikola Jokic, Kevin Durant, Lebron James (making a record 21st consecutive All-Star appearance) and Stephen Curry will aim to light up the court.
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss out on starring for the Eastern Conference due to injury, but there will still be strong representation in the form of Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young, Boston Celtics' Jayson Tatum and Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns of the New York Knicks.
The action kicks off today with Team Chuck taking on Team Kenny before Team Shaq play the Rising Stars in the second game. The two winners will face off in the championship game.
