The NBA All-Star Weekend is not just a celebration of basketball talent but also a showcase of creativity and culture. Each year, the host city leaves its mark with unique court designs that reflect its identity and heritage. Here’s a look at some of the most notable All-Star courts from the past 25 years:

2025: San Francisco

This year, the Bay Area brings back the All-Star Weekend after 25 years. The court features a striking blue and yellow design, incorporating the iconic Golden Gate and Bay bridges. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant cultures of San Francisco and Oakland, the court bridges the connections between Bay Area communities.

2024: Indianapolis

Though the main game was played on a traditional hardwood floor, the Celebrity Game and Saturday night events featured a groundbreaking glass LED court at Lucas Oil Stadium. Additionally, a full-length court was installed at Indianapolis International Airport to promote the event.

2021: Atlanta

The court at State Farm Arena paid homage to HBCU culture, with designs and art created in collaboration with HBCU alumni. This unique approach highlighted the rich cultural heritage of Atlanta.

2016: Toronto

The center court logo at the Air Canada Centre featured Toronto’s famous CN Tower, making it a standout design that celebrated the city’s architectural marvel.

2015: New York

Co-hosted by the Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks, the event’s logo mimicked a New York subway map, reflecting the city’s unique joint hosting setup.

2008: New Orleans

New Orleans’ rich jazz history was honored with a center court logo that included four trumpet designs, paying tribute to the city’s musical legacy.

2000: Oakland

The last time the Warriors hosted the All-Star Game, the Bay Bridge was prominently featured on the court design, much like this year’s logo. The famous bridge appeared on the center court logo in Oakland.

These designs not only enhance the visual appeal of the event but also tell the story of the host cities, making each All-Star Weekend a unique and memorable experience.
