History

The first Czech All-Star Game took place on 27 April 1995, before a crowd of 1,500.[1][2] It was played according to the NBA for four-quarters of 12 minutes (FIBA competitions were then still played for two-halves of 20 minutes). The venue was the Sparta hall in Prague and the presenter was a television sports commentator Stepan Skorpil. The players of the starting five were voted by basketball fans, while the rest of players were chosen by the coaches of NBL clubs.

The first game was eventful: delayed as the basketball board broke during the warm-up after a Michael Wilson's slam-dunk, and in the 25th minute of the match, after Jiří Trnka's dunk, the replacement board also broke. As aresult the match ended prematurely with the victory of the East team over the West with 61–54.

The skills contest were also played during the All-Star Game: the first winner in the 3-point contest was Josef Jelinek (he beat Michal Ježdík) while the slam-dunk competition was won by Michael Wilson.

The All-Star Game continued until 2020, with the following two editions cancelled dueo to COVID-19. It returned during the 2023–24 season.
