The All-Star Game is set for Sunday night as the Eastern Conference takes on the Western Conference at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, home of the Raptors.
Unlike some of the other professional all-star games, the NBA All-Star Game remains true to the conference vs. conference format of the game.
One of the highlights of Sunday night's game is Kobe Bryant's final all-star game appearance. Bryant, of course, announced his retirement earlier this season and after being voted into the all-star game as a starter for the 18th time in his 20-year career.
Meanwhile former teammates with the Miami Heat, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade reunite as Eastern Conference teammates for the second consecutive season in the All-Star Game since James returned to Cleveland in 2014.
