This game was the 49th edition of the North American National 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. All-Star Game Coaches left Phil Jackson 3 cropped.jpg Jeff Van Gundy (cropped).jpg 300 Phil Jackson (left) and Jeff Van Gundy (right) were selected as the West and East head coach, respectively. The coach whose team has the best record in its conference is granted the right to coach their team. However, despite this rule, no one is allowed to coach in consecutive All-Star Games. The coach for the West was Phil Jackson, head coach of the Western Conference leader Los Angeles Lakers. The coach for the East was Jeff Van Gundy, head coach of the New York Knicks, coaching in the game for the first time because Larry Bird, head coach of the Eastern Conference leader Indiana Pacers, was ineligible after coaching in the 1998 game, and Pat Riley, head coach of the second-place Miami Heat, had coached as recently as the 1993 game. League rules prohibit a coach from coaching in consecutive All-Star Games, passing the selection to the coach from the next top teams who was the least recent to coach.https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2000_standings_by_date_eastern_conference.html 1999-00 NBA Standings by Date June 22, 2026 Basketball Reference Players 150px|thumb|right|Vince Carter received the most votes from fans. The rosters for the All-Star Game were chosen in two ways. The starters were chosen via a fan ballot. Two guards, two forwards and one center who received the highest vote were named the All-Star starters. The reserves were chosen by votes among the NBA head coaches in their respective conferences. The coaches were not permitted to vote for their own players. The reserves consist of two guards, two forwards, one center and two players regardless of position. If a player is unable to participate due to injury, the commissioner will select a replacement. Vince Carter of the Toronto Raptors topped the ballots with 1,911,973 votes, which earned him a starting position as a forward in the Eastern Conference team. Allen Iverson, Eddie Jones, Grant Hill, and Alonzo Mourning completed the Eastern Conference starting position. This was the first All-Star appearance by Carter and Iverson, and Hill's fifth consecutive start as an All-Star. The Eastern Conference reserves included five first-time selections, Allan Houston, Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson, Jerry Stackhouse, and Dale Davis. Reggie Miller, and Dikembe Mutombo rounded out the team with their fifth and sixth respective appearances. Three teams, Indiana Pacers, Detroit Pistons, and Milwaukee Bucks, had two representations at the All-Star Game with Miller/Davis, Hill/Stackhouse, and Allen/Robinson. The Western Conference's leading vote-getter was Shaquille O'Neal, who earned his seventh consecutive All-Star Game selection with 1,807,609 votes. Jason Kidd, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, and Tim Duncan completed the Western Conference starting positions. Bryant, Garnett, and O'Neal were starters for the previous year's Western Conference team. Duncan became an All-Star Game starter for the first time after he was selected as a reserve in last year's game. The Western Conference reserves include two first-time selections, Rasheed Wallace and Michael Finley. The team is rounded out by Gary Payton, Chris Webber, John Stockton, Karl Malone, and David Robinson. Three teams, Los Angeles Lakers, Utah Jazz, and San Antonio Spurs, had two representations at the All-Star Game with Bryant/O'Neal, Malone/Stockton, and Duncan/Robinson.

The East tried to come back in the second quarter but the score at halftime the West was still ahead of five points, 64–59. The Eastern Conference tied the game at 91 with two minutes and eight seconds remaining in the third quarter. Chris Webber made a buzzer-beater at the end of the quarter and the Western Conference took the lead 99–97. The West started the fourth quarter with an 8–0 run that determined the win. The co-MVPs of the game (Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan) combined for 46 points and 23 rebounds. It was the third time in All-Star Game history that two players won the MVP award. It also happened in 1959 (Bob Pettit and Elgin Baylor) and in 1993 (John Stockton and Karl Malone). O'Neal would later share an All-Star MVP award nine years later, this time with former Laker teammate Kobe Bryant, making him the only player to share All-Star MVP honors with another player twice. The American anthem was sung by Al Green. The Canadian anthem was sung by The Moffatts.
