Sunday events

Shooting Stars

The Shooting Stars commenced for the second consecutive year. There was one PBA courtside reporter, one government official, one sportswriter and a lucky fan. Team Yellow led by Tiebreaker Times sportswriter Justine Bacnis won the Shooting Stars.

All-Star Game

The format of the all-star game was patterned after the NBA's version, wherein fans voted up to 24 players and two coaches. The two players with the highest number of votes became the team captains and selected their teammates via draft. The game also included a four-point line and a three-point dunk, similar to the earlier Blitz Game.

Rosters

The voting started on December 3 and ended on February 7. The final results were announced on February 21, with Mark Barroca of Magnolia Chicken Timplados Hotshots and Japeth Aguilar of Barangay Ginebra San Miguel emerging as the top vote-getters and thus are the two opposing captains during the All-Star Game.^[11]

Team Japeth was leading most of the time, but Team Mark was able to come back because of their amazing perimeter shooting, in the last minute of the 4th Quarter, Robert Bolick made back-to-back Four Point Shots, one to cut the lead to 5 then made another while being fouled which makes it a potential 5-point play, then he makes the free throw which ties the game. The game ends in a tie 140-140 which happens for the first time in PBA All-Star History.

• All-Star Game MVP: Japeth Aguilar (Team Japeth) and Robert Bolick (Team Mark)^[13]
