Hi, this list pretends to be a list of basketball games between NBA franchises and official FIBA teams or national squads.
Not any kind of All Star team, as games between these teams are countless.

Besides this PBA All Star game you can find many games where Julius Erving's All Stars, Magic All Stars or teams like that took part.
More examples are FC Barcelona centenary game where they won 84-78 over a NBA team called Nike All Stars (Scottie Pippen, Charles Barkley, Rod Strickland, Keith Van Horn, Derech Fisher amongst others). You can see the game information in Spanish here: http://www.elmundo.es/papel/hemeroteca/1999/09/11/deportes/746581.html
Or several games the former NBA franchise called Syracuse Nationals played in Europe, Iran, Lebanon and Egypt back in 1955 against non official national teams. Information: http://forums.interbasket.net/showthread.php?t=5082

Also, the 1978 Washington Bullets played against the Philippine National Basketball team. Why should that game not be included here? What are the criteria to brand a ballgame as an NBA vs FIBA game? Leoisiah 01:31, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

The criteria is written above.
Was the game against the Philippines National Team or a PBA All Star??

I stand corrected. That game was against a PBA All-star team (because the national team at that time was composed of amateur players). Sorry! Leoisiah 01:50, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
