LNBP All-Star Game

Along with the Circuito Mexicano de Básquetbol (CIMEBA), which as founded in 1970, a second major basketfall league was founded in 2000 called the LNBP, and it immediately launched its own All-Star Game. The first All-Star Game organised by LNBP, was played in Ciudad Victoria on October 19, 2000, at 20:30, and was broadcast by ESPN2.^[1] The game was played between a selection of Mexican players (Mexicanos) and a selection of foreign players (Extranjeros). It was LNBP's first season.

From 2000 until 2005, the game was played between a team of foreign players, and a team of Mexican players. The format was changed in 2006. The game became Zona Norte (North ) vs. Zona Sur (South), with no distinction between foreign and Mexican players. The 2009-10 All-Star Game was suspended, just as like the 2020 and 2021 editions due to COVID-19.

2017 marked the 20th edition of the event.
