History of NBA All-Star games

In the early 1950s, professional basketball was not as popular as it is today. The sport was inferior to American football, baseball, boxing and college football. At the same time, there were several scandals in college basketball involving match-fixing.

In 1951, NBA owner Maurice Podoloff proposed holding an all-star basketball game similar to what they have in American football. Walter Brown offered to play in his Boston Garden arena and pay for all the expenses. He was confident of the success of the event. The East team defeated the West in the match with a score of 111:94. From the very beginning, the players began to show their athletic ability. Everyone was pleased with how the game went: the players themselves, the fans, the organizers. Bob Cousy, the American basketball player of the time, said: “We had the best game on the planet. We took a big step forward (in 1951), and we’re all glad to be a part of it.”
