Annual basketball event

The Basketligan Basketball All-Star Game was an annual basketball event in Sweden, organised by the SBL. The All-Star Game or Weekend includes a match between a selection of the league's all-stars, a slam-dunk and a three-point contest. The league was originally established in 1992. The event did not continue after 2008, but it was re-established in 2011 for just one edition, adding in the skills contest. The 2011 was the most recent edition.
