The 2000 NBA All-Star Game was an exhibition basketball game which was played on February 13, 2000, at The Arena in Oakland in Oakland, California, home of the Golden State Warriors. This game was the 49th edition of the North AmericanNational Basketball Association (NBA) All-Star Game and was played during the 1999–2000 NBA season. The 1999 game was canceled due to the NBA lockout.
It was the third time the Warriors hosted the All-star game and the first time since 1967, as the San Francisco Warriors hosted the game at the Cow Palace in Daly City. This was the first and only All-Star Game held in Oakland, as the Warriors would relocate to San Francisco in 2019.
The Western Conference won the game with the score of 137–126 while Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan were both named MVP of the game. O'Neal took the All Star MVP trophy saying to Duncan, "you already have one of those rings" (referring to the championship ring Duncan received due to his membership on the 1998–99 San Antonio Spurs team with David Robinson and Gregg Popovich), "so I'm taking the trophy." Allen Iverson was the leading scorer of the game with 26 points.
