NBA All-Star weekend schedule in New York City and Brooklyn
Madison Square Garden last hosted the NBA All-Star Game in 1998, when Michael Jordan was MVP and Kobe Bryant was making his All-Star debut.
The event returns Feb. 15, with a twist: All-Star Saturday Night, including the dunk contest, will be held at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
