So, there are lots of ideas circulating at the moment, seeing as there is still an All-Star problem to fix. And one idea that was thrown around Sunday night? Bringing the game to Boston—at the very least, Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown thinks it could be a good idea.

The Bay Area's NBA All-Star Weekend officially tipped off with a pair of games Friday night on both sides of the bay.

Shaquille O’Neal’s team of veteran stars prevailed, and Stephen Curry was named the MVP at Chase Center. But much of the actual basketball was lost amid the variety show.

Jaren Barajas, an 18-year-old college student, won $100,000 by defeating All-Star Damian Lillard in a 3-point shooting contest during Sunday night's NBA All-Star Game.

The NBA All-Star game comes to the Chase Center for the first time, and just like the fans, some businesses are looking forward to the rare chance to bask in the spotlight.

It was six hours before game time and people were already filing into the Thrive City plaza outside the Chase Center.
