FIBA EuroStars
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FIBA EuroStars was an annual event organized by FIBA Europe as a showcase basketball match from 1996 until 1999, inclusive.
Seen by many to be the European answer to NBA All-Star Game, FIBA EuroStars featured that season's best players from Euroleague, a competition that was at the time still controlled by FIBA.
