“For one week, L.A. will become the basketball capital of the world,” Stern said. “It is always that way at All-Star, and it’s one of my favorite events because not only does the world focus on us, but our legends come in and it becomes part of a family reunion, and this is a big deal for us.”
“We’re likely to shorten the rotation a bit because it’s getting more difficult to find cities with the kinds of amenities, close hotel accommodations, the convention center and the like, and L.A. has been a popular destination,” he said.
