HEBA Greek All-Star Game

The HEBA Greek All-Star Game, also known as the EKO Greek All-Star Game for sponsorship reasons, was the All-Star Game of the Hellenic Basketball Association (HEBA) professional men's basketball competition. The HEBA Greek all-star game includes players that currently play in HEBA's top-tier level Greek Basketball League (GBL). The HEBA Greek all-star game was originally founded and organized by Gus Sarianides.

Format

The HEBA Greek men's all-star game has most often been played in a format featuring the Greek All-Stars, versus the Rest of the World All-Stars, although it has also included several other format variations over the years. Only players that play in Greece's first-tier level Greek Basketball League (GBL) are eligible to become official HEBA Greek all-star selections. There is also a men's slam dunk competition, and a men's 3-point shootout competition. Players from lower level divisions are eligible to compete in both the all-star weekend's slam dunk and 3-point shootout contests. The Greek all-star weekend also features a game between under age 22 players and senior age players (players that are retired professionals), called the Rising Stars versus the All-Time Stars. There are also youth 3-point shootout and youth slam dunk competitions, for the age 22 and under players. In the past, the Greek all-star weekend also featured an age 20 and under all-star game, called the Hopes or Youth All-Star Game. == Logos ==

History

The HEBA 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 2019, the format was the same as the original all-star game was, The Greek All-Stars versus The Rest of the World All-Stars. Since 2001, the Greek All-Star Game has been held 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 Nikos Galis Olympic Indoor Hall arenas in Athens. == All-Star Game results ==
