2011 PLK All Star Match
The 2011 Polish Basketball League All Star Match was the 18th edition of the Polish Basketball League All Star Match, held on 16 January 2011 at the Kalisz Arena in Kalisz, Poland. The game was broadcast live by TVP Sport.
The event featured a North–South format, with the South team defeating the North 119–117 in a closely contested match. Harding Nana of the South team was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP), contributing 24 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals, and 1 block.
In addition to the main game, the event included a slam dunk contest and a three-point shootout. Streetball player Łukasz Biedny won the slam dunk contest, defeating Cameron Bennerman and Eddie Miller. Darnell Hinson claimed victory in the three-point shootout, outperforming Andrzej Pluta and Ivan Koljević.
Several cities, including Zielona Góra, Katowice, Wrocław, Poznań, and Kalisz, competed to host the 2011 All Star Match. However, scheduling conflicts made it impossible to hold the event in Katowice, where the Spodek arena was unavailable, or in Wrocław, where the Centennial Hall was under renovation. As a result, the CRS Hall Zielona Góra emerged as a strong candidate. Ultimately, the Polish Basketball League selected the Kalisz Arena, which has a capacity of 3,164 spectators. This marked the first time Kalisz hosted the PLK All Star Match.
Unlike the 2010 PLK All Star Match, voting for the 2011 event was conducted through both SMS and a dedicated website, meczgwiazd.plk.pl. Fans could vote for the starting lineups of both teams and had an advisory role in selecting slam dunk contest participants, with the final list determined by the Polish Basketball League board.
The Polish Basketball League nominated 60 players, evenly split between 30 from the North and 30 from the South. Each region included 12 guards, 12 forwards, and 6 centers.
Voting began on 20 December 2010 and concluded on 5 January 2011 at 11:59 PM. Partial results were published on 27 December 2010 and 3 January 2011. In the first week, Chris Burgess and Walter Hodge led the voting. The North's starting lineup at that point included Cameron Bennerman, Zbigniew Białek, Bryan Davis, Daniel Ewing, and J.R. Giddens, while the South's lineup featured Hodge, Burgess, Jakub Dłoniak, Andrzej Pluta, and Harding Nana. Bennerman led the slam dunk contest voting with 61.6% of the votes.
After two weeks, Burgess and Hodge remained the top vote-getters. The North's lineup shifted to include Igor Miličić, Slaviša Bogavac, Bennerman, Białek, and Ratko Varda, while the South's lineup remained unchanged. Bennerman continued to lead the slam dunk contest voting. Votes for Jan Jagla and J.R. Giddens were voided after they left Asseco Prokom Gdynia.
