This weekend, the sports world will convene in the Bay Area, as NBA All-Star Weekend hosts dozens of events and parties across venues in San Francisco and Oakland. The Chase Center will host the Rising Stars game, the 3-Point and Slam Dunk Contests and the All-Star Game itself, while the Warriors’ old home, the Oakland Arena, will host the Celebrity Game, practice for the All-Stars and the HBCU Classic. It’s yet another entry in the Bay Area’s rich basketball history, which goes all the way back to the first-ever women’s college hoops game between Stanford and Cal in 1896.
