The LNBP All-Star Game is an annual basketball event in Mexico, organised by the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional (LNBP), one of the country's major basketball leagues. It was launched in 2000. Former NBA players such as Gustavo Ayón, Jamario Moon, and Horacio Llamas have featured in the event.

History

Former NBA player Gustavo Ayón featured in the 2008 All-Star Game.

Along with the Circuito Mexicano de Básquetbol (CIMEBA), which as founded in 1970, a second major basketfall league was founded in 2000 called the LNBP, and it immediately launched its own All-Star Game. The first All-Star Game organised by LNBP, was played in Ciudad Victoria on October 19, 2000, at 20:30, and was broadcast by ESPN2.[1] The game was played between a selection of Mexican players (Mexicanos) and a selection of foreign players (Extranjeros). It was LNBP's first season.

From 2000 until 2005, the game was played between a team of foreign players, and a team of Mexican players. The format was changed in 2006. The game became Zona Norte (North ) vs. Zona Sur (South), with no distinction between foreign and Mexican players. The 2009-10 All-Star Game was suspended, just as like the 2020 and 2021 editions due to COVID-19.

2017 marked the 20th edition of the event.

CIMEBA All-Star Games

CIMEBA, Mexico's first and oldest major basketball league, started holding out annual All-Star Games.[25] The 1987 edition took place in Chihuahua City and the 1988 in Aguascalientes with a selection team consisting of: Norberto Mena, Luis "Chango" Lopez, Rico Pontvianne, Anthony Vahn, Larry Connors, Jorge León, Rafael Olguin, Byron Tockarchock, Gordon Betancourt, Billy Bailey and Leonard Mitchell. The 1989 edition was held in Guadalajara at the court of the Leones Negros UdeG, with the South selection including players like Toño Reyes, Quique Ortega, Bucky Chavez and Andy Olivares.

In November 1999 a selection of CIMEBA players named "CIMEBA All-Stars" toured the United States and played games against NCAA Division I college teams such as Illinois,[26] Michigan State, Minnesota,[27] Ohio,[27] and Purdue.[28]

The 2001 All-Star Game was held on 7 October and the Team Mexico beat the Foreign stars with 145–133. Chris Walters (Zacatecas) was the Foreigners MVP, while Oscar Castellanos was named the Mexican team MVP. Willie Sublet (Santos del Potosí) won the dunk contest, and Jesus Ortiz (Mineros de Zacatecas) won the 3-point shootout.[29]

The 2002 All-Star Game was held in Tuxtla Gutiérrez in a Mexicans against Americans format. The Mexican selection coached by Arturo Guerrero were: Omar Lopez, Manuel Cerecedo, Rodrigo Pérez, Victor Avila, Horacio Llamas, Espartaco Rios, Mauricio Ramos, Francisco Martinez, Florentino Ovando, Edwin Sanchez, Omar Quintero, Diablo Castellanos and Enrique Zuñiga. Legendary Arturo Guerrero was selected again as coach for the 2004 edition.[30] CIMEBA folded after the 2006–07 season as Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional and Circuito de Baloncesto de la Costa del Pacífico emerged as Mexico's major basketball leagues.
