The '''2016 NBA All-Star Game''' was an [[Exhibition game|exhibition]] [[basketball]] game that was played on February 14, 2016, during the [[National Basketball Association]]'s (NBA) [[2015–16 NBA season|2015–16 season]]. It was the 65th edition of the [[NBA All-Star Game]], and was played at [[Air Canada Centre]] in [[Toronto]], home of the [[Toronto Raptors]]. The [[Western Conference (NBA)|Western Conference]] defeated the [[Eastern Conference (NBA)|Eastern Conference]], 196–173. [[Russell Westbrook]] was named the [[NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player|All-Star Game Most Valuable Player]]. The Raptors were awarded the All-Star Game in an announcement on September 30, 2013. This was the first time that the NBA All-Star Game was held outside the United States.<ref name="RAPTORS ANNOUNCE 2016 ALL-STAR GAME; NAME DRAKE AMBASSADOR">

This was also the 18th and final All-Star Game in which [[Kobe Bryant]] participated, as a result of his retirement after the season.

==Background==
Toronto's bid to host the 2016 NBA All-Star Game was led by NBA Canada vice-president and managing director [[Dan MacKenzie]]. It was the culmination of years of planning to grow basketball in Canada, and by 2013 he stated that "the time was right" to bring the event outside of the United States for the first time. He estimated that it would bring $80 million to $100 million into Toronto's economy. He also highlighted that the NBA had 650,000 Canadian followers on Twitter by 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.foxbusiness.com/features/nba-all-star-weekend-2016-invades-toronto|title=NBA All-Star Weekend 2016 Invades Toronto|last=Barrabi|first=Thomas|date=2016-02-12|website=Fox Business|access-date=2019-08-08}}</ref>

==All-Star Game==
===Coaches===
Although the [[Golden State Warriors]] had the best record in the Western Conference, no coach may coach two consecutive All-Star Games, therefore making [[Steve Kerr]] ineligible. [[San Antonio Spurs]] head coach [[Gregg Popovich]] served as the Western Conference coach due to the Spurs having the second-best record in the West. The [[Cleveland Cavaliers]] had the best record in the Eastern Conference, but on January 22, the team fired head coach [[David Blatt]] and replaced him with [[Tyronn Lue]]. Lue was named the Eastern Conference head coach on January 27, even though he had only coached four games up to that point.

===Rosters===
[[File:Kawhi Leonard Dunk cropped.jpg|upright|thumb|[[Kawhi Leonard]] was selected by fans as an All-Star starter for the first time.]]
The rosters for the All-Star Game were selected through a voting process. The starters are chosen by the fans. Two guards and three frontcourt players who received the highest vote are named the All-Star starters. NBA head coaches vote for the reserves for their respective conferences, none of which can be players on their own team. Each coach selects two guards, three frontcourt players and two wild cards, with each selected player ranked in order of preference within each category. If a multi-position player is to be selected, coaches are encouraged to vote for the player at the position that was "most advantageous for the All-Star team," regardless of where the player was listed on the All-Star ballot or the position he was listed in box scores.<ref>{{cite news|last=Stein |first=Marc |title=1.

[[Kobe Bryant]] of the [[Los Angeles Lakers]] topped the ballots this year with 1,891,614 votes, earning Bryant his 18th all-star appearance in his final season in the NBA, and also beating out the [[2015 NBA All-Star Game|2015]] leading vote getter [[Stephen Curry]] of the [[Golden State Warriors]], who was second this year in total votes with 1,604,325. This is the fourth time that Bryant has been the leading vote getter. The other players named to the Western Conference starting roster include [[Russell Westbrook]] and [[Kevin Durant]] of the [[Oklahoma City Thunder]], named to their fifth and seventh All-Star Games respectively, and [[Kawhi Leonard]] of the [[San Antonio Spurs]], who was named to his first career All-Star Game.<ref name="Starters">{{cite web |url=http://www.nba.com/2016/news/01/21/2016-all-star-starters-release/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt13a |title=Kobe, Curry highlight 2016 list of All-Star starters |work=NBA.com |date=January 21, 2016 |access-date=January 22, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160222142229/http://www.nba.com/2016/news/01/21/2016-all-star-starters-release/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt13a |archive-date=February 22, 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

[[LeBron James]] of the [[Cleveland Cavaliers]], with 1,089,206 votes, was the leading vote getter in the Eastern Conference, earning James his 12th career all-star nod. [[Dwyane Wade]] of the [[Miami Heat]] was also named a starter to his 12th career All-Star Game, with a total of 941,466 votes. Rounding out the rest of the Eastern Conference starting lineup was [[Kyle Lowry]] of the [[Toronto Raptors]] (second all-star nod), [[Paul George]] of the [[Indiana Pacers]] (3rd all-star nod), and [[Carmelo Anthony]] of the [[New York Knicks]], who was named to his ninth career All-Star Game.<ref name="Starters" />

The West Reserves included [[Klay Thompson]] and [[Draymond Green]] of the [[Golden State Warriors]], [[Chris Paul]] of the [[Los Angeles Clippers]], [[James Harden]] of the [[Houston Rockets]], [[Anthony Davis]] of the [[New Orleans Pelicans]], [[DeMarcus Cousins]] of the [[Sacramento Kings]], and [[LaMarcus Aldridge]], who made the All-Star Game as a member of the [[San Antonio Spurs]] for the first time.

The East Reserves included [[John Wall]] of the [[Washington Wizards]], [[DeMar DeRozan]] of the [[Toronto Raptors]], [[Jimmy Butler]] of the [[Chicago Bulls]], [[Isaiah Thomas (basketball)|Isaiah Thomas]] of the [[Boston Celtics]], [[Chris Bosh]] of the [[Miami Heat]], [[Paul Millsap]] of the [[Atlanta Hawks]], and [[Andre Drummond]] of the [[Detroit Pistons]]. Jimmy Butler and Chris Bosh ultimately had to sit out the All-Star Game due to a knee and calf injury, respectively. [[Pau Gasol]] of the [[Chicago Bulls]] and [[Al Horford]] of the [[Atlanta Hawks]] were named as Butler and Bosh's replacements.
