The three teams for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game were selected Thursday night on TNT by the “Inside the NBA” crew of Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley. Each analyst selected eight-man teams for the 24-player pool available, while a fourth team headed by Candace Parker will be the winner of the Rising Stars tournament.
Four teams will compete in a pickup-style tournament with the two semifinal games played to 40 points and the championship played to 25.
