The Warriors have hung a championship banner at Chase Center and announced a WNBA team set to join them at their San Francisco home. In February 2025, they’ll complete the trifecta by hosting the NBA All-Star Game.
The league announced the scheduling at a Monday press conference in San Francisco featuring commissioner Adam Silver, San Francisco mayor London Breed and Warriors owner Joe Lacob.
This will be the third time the Warriors have hosted the All-Star Game. The last time the game was played in the Bay Area was 2000, when the Warriors were mired in a dark stretch. They didn’t have a player in the game, and team owner Chris Cohan was booed off the floor.
The other time was more of a shining example: In 1967, the Cow Palace hosted the game and Warriors star Rick Barry won the MVP award with a 38-point performance.
The Warriors are a far cry from the dregs of that weekend in 2000, which did feature a mesmerizing dunk contest win by Vince Carter of the Raptors. They have had 22 All-Star Game appearances over the last decade, including nine for Stephen Curry, the MVP of the 2022 game in which he scored 50 points.
