The 2014 NBA All Star Game was an exhibition basketball game that took place on February 16, 2014, at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, home of the New Orleans Pelicans. The game was the 63rd edition of the National Basketball Association (NBA) All-Star Game and was 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.[4] It was the second time that New Orleans had hosted 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 frontcourt 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 in first All-Star selection, after leading all Western Conference guards in the voting, while Kevin Love overtook Dwight Howard for the final frontcourt starting spot for the West.[5]
