The NBA All-Star Game is getting a new twist in 2025. Instead of pitting the NBA’s two conferences against one another or having two teams selected by captains, the 2025 event will see four teams of eight players play in an elimination-style tournament.
While one squad will be the winner of the Rising Stars game, the other three were drafted using the All-Star player pool by Inside the NBA hosts Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley, and Kenny Smith.
Teams were drafted on Thursday night’s edition of the TNT show. Here’s a look at who each host selected:
