YUBA All-Star Game


The YUBA All-Star Game was an annual basketball event in Yugoslavia, organised by the YUBA League and it was established in 1997. The YUBA All-Star Game lasted until 2003.
Montenegrin Mladen Šekularac is the player with the most participations in the history of the event.

Background

The previous All-Star Game experience in Yugoslavia was the 1991 Yu All-Star just before the country was dissolved. That event included all the big names who played in the unified Yugoslav League, including Croatians Toni Kukoc and Dino Radja, Slovenian Jure Zdovc, Bosnian Mario Primorac and many others. Then in 1992 the YUBA League was founded and lasted until 2006.
In 1997 the YUBA League followed the example of the Croatian Federation and launched its own All-Star Game, six years since the Yu All-Star.

All Star Game events

Apart from the main match, the All Star Game included a three-point shootout and a slam-dunk contest.
