The NBA All-Star game has given us some great memories, and even better uniforms for the game itself, but what are the top five in league history?

With NBA games quickly becoming a thing of the more distant past, as fans we have to look at all kinds of ways and to try and stay in touch with the game we all love. Luckily this is easier than you would think, as the league has always tried to connect with fans in ways that other professional organizations do not.

From the current NBA 2K tournament that is taking place, to the planned HORSE contest which will be happening next well, you have to credit the NBA on doing anything it can to stay relevant during this trying time.

Something the league has gotten right on most years is the annual All-Star game. A celebration of the NBA and its best players, the show they have put on has only gotten bigger and more extravagant as time has gone on. Tweaking the rules for a more enjoyable game (such as getting rid of East and West teams and changing how a game is won in 2020) shows progressiveness too.

As with most things around the league, it is the culture and the style which resonates as much as anything else. Which is why this is the perfect time to look back over some of the most iconic All-Star game jerseys worn over these weekends, to try to see if we can decide which one is the best.

It is probably not a stretch to say that most fans own an All-Star jersey of some kind, as it allowed fans to rep players who may not have played for the teams they supported, or that they just liked. The following are the five most memorable jerseys worn during the mid-season exhibition game.

This is a much harder proposition than you would think, but it probably comes as no shock to you that the kits worn during the 2014 All-Star game in New Orleans (the ones with the sleeves, although they did have a nice, Mardi-Gras theme to them) did not make the cut.
