History

The Greek All Star Game was held for the first time on December 31, 1991, and in that first game "The Rest of the World All Stars" defeated "The Greek All Stars" by a score of 133-122. Over the next seven all star games, the format was "The European All Stars" versus "The American All Stars". From 2001 until now, the format has been the same as the original all star game was, The Greek All Stars versus The Rest of the World All Stars. Also since 2001, the Greek All-Star Game is held annually in various cities in Greece, which is in contrast to the early years of the all star game when most of the games were held at either the Peace and Friendship Stadium or Olympic Indoor Hall arenas in Athens.
