It was the third NBA All-Star game to be held at Philadelphia—following the 1960 (hosted by the Philadelphia Warriors) and 1970 games—and the second hosted by the 76ers, which hosted its first in 1961 as the Syracuse Nationals. It also marked the final All-Star Game held at the Spectrum. It was also the final NBA All-Star Game played on a weekday, being played on a Tuesday, before the NBA switching All-Star games to a Sunday game the following season, as well as the final one before the ABA–NBA merger. Philadelphia hosted three of the major four league All-Star Games (the NFL's Pro Bowl in New Orleans was the exception) in honor of the Bicenntenial. The East All-Stars beat the West All-Stars 123–109. Dave Bing of the Washington Bullets was named the Most Valuable Player.
