The 1967 NBA All-Star Game was the 17th All-Star Game played January 10, 1967, at the Cow Palace in Daly City, California, the home of the San Francisco Warriors. The coaches were Red Auerbach, general manager and previously head coach of the Boston Celtics, for the Eastern Division and Fred Schaus of the Los Angeles Lakers for the Western Division, as both the Lakers and the Celtics made the previous year's finals. The Western Division All-Stars defeated the heavily favored Eastern Division All-Stars, 135–120, widely acknowledged to be the greatest upset in the history of the event.
San Francisco Warriors forward Rick Barry was selected the Most Valuable Player on the strength of 38 points on 16-of-27 in the field. He also contributed six rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes.
The game also saw the ejection of Eastern Division head coach Red Auerbach in what would be his final NBA season on the bench. He became the only coach to be ejected in an All-Star Game.
