About This Quiz

Stephen Curry with the Warriors in 2025? Easy. But what about the Seattle Supersonics in 1987? Or the Buffalo Braves in 1978?

We're talking 70+ years of All-Star Games here. Some winners are legends you know by heart. Others are names you haven't thought about since they retired.

The 2000s and 2010s should be straightforward. But once you get back to the '80s and earlier, things get tricky fast.

There are co-MVPs thrown in there too. And teams that don't even exist anymore. Good luck remembering who won for the Cincinnati Royals.

This isn't about casual basketball fandom. This is about knowing the history of the game front to back.
