FIBA Europe All-Star Game

The FIBA Europe All-Star Game was an all-star basketball game, that was also known as the "FIBA Europe Festival". The "FIBA Europe All-Star Game Festival" was held from 1964 to 1998, from the 1963–64 to 1997–98 European basketball seasons. It was organized by FIBA Europe, the European division of FIBA. The FIBA Europe Selection Team, or the FIBA European Selection Team, won most of the FIBA Europe All-Star Game Festivals, with an overall record of 24–5.

The FIBA Europe All-Star Game Festival event was eventually replaced by the FIBA EuroStars All-Star Game event. Initially, both of the FIBA Europe all-star games existed together, starting in 1996, when the FIBA EuroStars debuted, during the 1996–97 season. However, the FIBA Europe All-Star Game was eventually permanently replaced by the FIBA EuroStars in 1998, during the 1998–99 season. The FIBA EuroStars All-Star Game was itself eventually discontinued by FIBA Europe. It was last held in 2007.

The FIBA Europe All-Star Game Festival featured the "FIBA European Selection Team". Being chosen for the FIBA European Selection Team was one of the highest individual honors for a European club player at the time. The all-star games pitted the players of the FIBA European Selection Teams, against various club teams, national teams, and non-European-wide all-star team selections. Only the players that were chosen to the FIBA European Selection Teams were credited with having All-European Club Team honors. While all of the players that participated in each of the all-star games, from both teams, were credited as having all-star game appearances.

Originally, the first five FIBA European Selection Teams (1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, and 1968), were selected from among the players of the European-wide top-tier level FIBA European Champions Cup (FIBA EuroLeague). However, starting with the 1969 All-Star Game event, the FIBA European Selection team players were chosen from among the players from all of the club leagues in Europe. Over the years, most of the all-star game's FIBA European Selection Team players, came from what were the three major European-wide professional club basketball leagues at the time, the aforementioned top-tier level FIBA EuroLeague, the second-tier level FIBA European Cup (later known as the FIBA Saporta Cup), and the third-tier level FIBA Korać Cup. In addition to talent, skills, and performance, diversity was also paramount in choosing the players of the FIBA European Selection teams, which aimed at allowing for several different European national basketball schools to be represented at the all-star games.

After the FIBA Europe All-Star Game Festival was last held in 1998, it was replaced by the FIBA EuroStars event. The FIBA EuroStars was a normal all-star game selection award for the players that competed in it. Being chosen to one of the FIBA EuroStars game's teams did not give a player a separate individual All-European Club Team award, like being named a member of the FIBA European Selection Team did with the FIBA Europe All-Star Game Festivals.

In 2001, what was the equivalent of a FIBA European Selection Team award was introduced with the EuroLeague's All-EuroLeague Team award. As the All-EuroLeague Team also honors the top European selection of club team players into a list of ten players. However, unlike the FIBA Europe All-Star Game Festival's FIBA European Selection Team, the EuroLeague's All-EuroLeague Team selection does not include an all-star game event featuring the players.
