The 2024 NBA All-Star Game will be held at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. It's the first All-Star Game in Indiana for the first time since 1985 and just the third time in the state. This year's event will feature the return of the Eastern vs. Western Conference format.
LeBron James was named the captain of the Western Conference after receiving the most fan votes, while Giannis Antetokounmpo will lead the Eastern Conference as captain.
The last time the NBA All-Star Game had an East vs. West format was in 2017 in New Orleans. The format for the last six seasons was Captain vs. Captain, with their respective teams getting built through a draft.
The scoring will also go back to the old format of just four quarters at 12 minutes each, removing the Elam Ending introduced in 2020.

The NBA All-Star Game has attracted a lot of fans over the years, especially All-Star Saturday.
However, there have been some critics about the lack of defense and competitiveness in some of the games, as well as the diminishing quality of the Slam Dunk Contest.
Nevertheless, the All-Star remains a highlight of the season, so let's look at the past winners of the last decade.
