The Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association is made up of fifteen teams and organized in three divisions of five teams each The Western Conference of the National Basketball Association is made up of fifteen teams and organized in three divisions of five teams each The participants are currently chosen in two ways. The first is via fan ballot, with the leading vote recipients at each position starting the game; secondly the reserves are chosen by a vote among the head coaches of each squad's particular conference. [1] Coaches are not allowed to vote for their own players. If a player is injured and cannot participate, the commissioner will select a replacement.
The coaches who currently lead the team with the most wins in their conference through the Sunday two weeks before the game coach their respective conferences. However, the same coach cannot coach the team in consecutive seasons. [1] This is the so-called "Riley Rule" so named because coach Pat Riley's Lakers teams of the 1980s won so often that he coached the Western Conference team nearly every season in the 1980s. Patrick James Riley (born March 20 1945 is a former American National Basketball Association head coach and current team president of the Miami Heat.

Features of the All-Star Game
The All-Star Game is played under normal NBA rules, but there are notable differences from an average game.
Since the starting All-Stars are selected by fan vote, players often start the game at atypical positions. For instance, in 2007 Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady had the two highest fan vote totals among Western Conference guards. Kobe Bean Bryant (born) is an American All-Star Shooting guard Tracy Lamar McGrady Jr (born May 24 1979 in Bartow Florida) is an American professional Basketball player currently positioned at starting As both players normally play shooting guard, Bryant, who is 6'6" (198 cm), started the game as a point guard, a position usually manned by a much smaller player. The Shooting guard ( SG) also known as the two or off guard, is one of five traditional positions on a Basketball team Point guard ( PG) also called the one or " the ball-handler " is one of the standard positions in a regulation Basketball game
The player introductions are usually accompanied by a significant amount of fanfare, including lighting effects, dance music, and pyrotechnics. The term "pyrotechnics" can also be used for Fireworks events Special uniforms are designed for the game each year, usually red for the Western Conference and blue for the Eastern Conference, but the 1997-2002 game allowed players wearing their retrospective jerseys. A uniform is a set of standard Clothing worn by members of an organization while participating in that organization's activity A major recording artist typically sings "The Star-Spangled Banner" prior to tipoff. " The Star-Spangled Banner " is the National anthem of the United States of America One of the more memorable performances was given by Marvin Gaye during the 1983 game. Marvin Pentz Gay Jr, known as Marvin Gaye ( April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984) was an American Singer-songwriter Gaye was accompanied by Gordon Banks, who played a tape from an all night session that used numerous elements of soul music and funk. Soul music is a Music genre that combines Rhythm and blues and Gospel music, originating in the United States. Funk is an American musical style that originated in the mid- to late-1960s when African American musicians blended Soul music, Soul Banks still has that historic tape of the music to which Gaye sang his soulful version.
Gameplay usually involves players attempting spectacular slam dunks and alley oops. A slam dunk (or simply a dunk) is a type of Basketball shot that is performed when a player jumps in the air and manually powers the ball downward through the basket Defensive effort is limited and the final score of the game is generally much higher than an average NBA game. The coaches also try to give most of the reserve players some time on the court instead of using a limited rotation as they would in a normal game. The fourth quarter of the game is often played in a more competitive fashion if the game is close.
Halftime is also longer than a typical NBA game due to musical performances by various artists such as Elton John, Destiny's Child, Mariah Carey, OutKast, and most recently Dr. John. In some team Sports such as Football (soccer and rugby, Matches are played in two halves Sir Elton Hercules John CBE (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on 25 March 1947 is an English pop / rock Singer, Composer Destiny's Child (sometimes referred to as DC or DC3) was an R&B and pop Girl group comprising lead singer Beyoncé Knowles Outkast (typeset as OutKast) is a Grammy Award -winning American hip hop duo based out of East Point Georgia, a city Dr John (also Dr John Creaux) is the Stage name of Malcolm John Rebennack Jr
