2023 NBA All-Star rosters: Team LeBron vs. Team Giannis

Starters are italicized.

NBA All-Star Game format, explained

The 2023 NBA All-Star Game will have the same competitive format as the last two NBA All-Star Games, a dynamic that makes every quarter count.

• The two All-Star teams will compete to win each quarter for their respective charitable organizations.
• Each charitable organization starts the game with a $150,000 donation.
• Each of the first three quarters will begin with a score of 0-0 and will last 12 minutes. The winner of each 12-minute quarter (first, second and third) will be the team that scores the most points within the quarter.
• Each quarter is worth $100,000 to the winning team’s charity.
• If both teams score the same number of points within a quarter, the $100,000 charity donation at stake for that quarter will be split between the two organizations.
• The fourth quarter will begin with each team’s total score after the first three quarters on the main scoreboard.
• The fourth quarter will be untimed and the teams will play to a Final Target Score, meaning that the game will end with a made basket or a made free throw instead of with the clock running out.
• The Final Target Score will be determined by taking the leading team's totalcumulative score through three quarters and adding 24 points – the 24 representing Kobe Bryant's jersey number.
  • For example, if Team LeBron leads Team Giannis with a score of 100 – 95 after the first three quarters, the Final Target Score is 124 (100 + 24)
• The first team to reach (or surpass) the Final Target Score will win the NBA All-Star Game.
• The team that wins the All-Star Game will earn $150,000 for its selected charity.
