The 2014 NBA All Star Game is an exhibition basketball game that will be played on February 16, 2014 at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, home of the New Orleans Pelicans. This game will be the 63rd edition of the NBA All-Star Game and will be played during the 2013–14 NBA season. The former Hornets were awarded the All-Star Game in an announcement by commissioner David Stern on April 16, 2012. This will be the second time that New Orleans is hosting the All-Star game; the city had previously hosted the event in 2008 in the Smoothie King Center (then known as New Orleans Arena).
Starters for the game were selected by the fans, who could select three front court players and two guards for each conference. LeBron James was the leading vote-getter with 1,416,419 votes. Stephen Curry was also voted as a starter, which was also his first All-Star selection, after leading all Western Conference guards in the voting, while Kevin Love overtook Dwight Howard for the final front court starting spot for the West.
