HEBA Greek All-Star Game
The HEBA Greek All-Star Game, also known as the EKO Greek All-Star Game for sponsorship reasons, is the All-Star Game of the HEBA Greek professional basketball association for men. It was founded and organized by Gus Sarianides. The men's all-star game has most often been played in a format featuring the Greek All-Stars, versus the Rest of the World All-Stars. There is also a men's slam dunk competition, and a men's 3-point shootout competition. The all-star weekend also features a game between under age 22 players and senior age players, called the Rising Stars versus the All-Time Stars.
Finally, there are also youth 3-point shootout and youth slam dunk competitions, for the age 22 and under players. The all-star weekend previously featured an age 20 and under all-star game, called the Hopes or Youth All-Star Game.
Format
Players from the professional top-tier level Greek Basket League, the professional 2nd-tier level Greek A2 Basket League, and the Greek lower level divisions, are eligible to compete at the All-Star Game's weekend festivities. Normally, only players from the top-tier level Greek Basket League are eligible to compete in the men's all-star game. However, sometimes players from lower level divisions can also play in the men's all-star game, if they are selected on all-star day, during the all-star weekend festivities, as special participants by the coaches of the game, to play in the all-star game.Such players however, are not considered to be all-star selections, because they are not officially chosen to be all-stars, and because they do not actually play in the top-tier level Greek Basket League, from which the actual all-star selections are chosen. However, players from the lower-tier level Greek divisions can participate in the men's slam dunk and men's 3 point shootout contests.

History
The Greek All-Star Game was held for the first time on December 31, 1991, and in that first game, "The Rest of the World All-Stars" defeated "The Greek All-Stars", by a score of 133–122. Over the next seven all-star games, the format was "The European All-Stars" versus "The American All-Stars". From 2001 until 2019, the format was the same as the original all-star game was, The Greek All-Stars versus The Rest of the World All-Stars. Since 2001, the Greek All-Star Game is held in various cities in Greece, which is in contrast to the early years of the all-star game, when most of the games were held at either the Peace and Friendship Stadium, or Nikos Galis Olympic Indoor Hall arenas in Athens.All-Star Game results
