Israeli Basketball All-Star Game
The Israeli Basketball All-Star Game is an annual basketball event in Israel. The event was first played in the 1990s and it returned in the 2010-11 season after a lengthy hiatus.[1] The All-Star Game includes a match between a selection of the best players of the Israeli League, a slam-dunk and a three-point contest. The rosters for the All-Star Game are being chosen by an online voting, with fans choosing one international player and one local player from each team. It is organised by the Israeli Basketball Premier League.
