The first NBL All-Star Game was held in 1982 at the Apollo Stadium in Adelaide with the East defeating the West 153-148 with Leroy Loggins taking the first of two All-Star MVP awards. It was next held in 1988 at The Glass House in Melbourne and was then held every season until 1997. After a seven-year hiatus, the NBL revived the All-Star game for the 2003–04 NBL season and it was held every season until 2007–08. For the 2012–13 season, the NBL brought back the All-Star game, having it played on 22 December 2012 at the Adelaide Arena.[1][2]

The 1992, 1993 and 1994 All-Star games featured the Australian Boomers team playing against the USA Stars (1992) and the NBL Stars in 1993 and 1994. The 1992 game played at the AIS Arena in Canberra was played on 4 July and was promoted as the "Independence Day Challenge".[3]

gollark: I think you can run Linux on them nowadays, but I don't know if you get things like "functional GPUs".
gollark: I mean, on the one hand Apple's CPUs have excellent performance-per-watt, but on the other hand you are buying into what's sort of kind of a highly closed platform.
gollark: How bad.
gollark: Ah, so my Postgres instance contains data from deadosmarksmatrixserver™, Gitea, Grafana, my RSS reader, an old Minoteaur instance, and various failed osmarksßprojects™.
gollark: I mean, if they're using TempleOS right now, it would probably be worse for performance.
