Boston is set to be one of the centers of the basketball world for the next couple of weeks. It could also be the center of the basketball world during the winter in the near future.
The Celtics are preparing to make a bid to host the NBA All-Star Game in the coming years, The Boston Globe‘s Gary Washburn reported in April. NBA commissioner Adam Silver seems more than open to holding one of the league’s yearly marquee events in Boston.
“I encourage that application from Boston. Wonderful city and obviously we’ll be there soon,” Silver told reporters at his annual press conference ahead of the NBA Finals on Thursday.
