The ABA All-Star Game is an annual basketball event in the United States, organised by the ABA (2000). It was launched in 2002 as a revival of the original ABA All-Star Game which had started in 1968. The event is held annually and consisted of an all-star game, a three-point shoot contest and slam-dunk exhibition. The Slam Dunk Contest was first introduced worldwide in the original ABA All-Star Game. The first winner was Julius Erving of the New York Nets in 1976.
Many former NBA players like Tim Hardaway, Sam Mack, Gary Grant, and Armen Gilliam have played in the All-Star Game.
