ALL-STAR Exhibition Match:

The ALL -STAR game is like the league's best-player showdown, and it happens every year and hosted by the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). In this game, the best players of the league come with different playing styles each time and they are divided into two different teams. This match is basically the main attraction and highlights during the PBA All-Star Weekend. The ALL-STAR match debuted at The ULTRA on June 4, 1989, & this is the match where first-time MVP Award was given to Elmer Cabahug from the Alaska team.

How players were decided to play for a team?

The process of deciding which player gets to start in the game is; that fans get to cast their votes for the best players, while the coaches of the league's teams have a say in picking the substitute player of the match.

In case a player chosen by fans or coaches is not fit due to an injury, his substitute is announced by the league officials. The head coaches leading teams in the season's first conference, the Philippine Cup, take charge of the coaching of the All-Star Game teams or squads.
