Understanding the format and rules to an all star game shouldn’t feel like trying to solve an SAT problem
So to sum up the All-Star Game selection process this season:
24 All-Stars
12 from each conference
Positions don't matter
16 US players
8 World players
2 US teams
1 World team
8 players per team
If there are not enough US or World players then Adam Silver will select more to fill out the teams.

Looks like NBA just revealed the All-Star Game format this season. Two teams of American players and one World team. Same selection process for the All-Stars but they will not be picked based on position. So positionless All-Stars selections.

Good afternoon from Martin, Tennessee where No. 8 Tennessee travels to face UT Martin in the Pat Summitt Heritage Classic.
It’s the first trip to Martin for the Lady Vols since Summitt brought her undefeated 1997-98 national championship team to the Elam Center.
