“Los Angeles is one of the world’s great basketball cities — a place where players become legends, and great NBA moments last forever. Now we will make history again, in 2018, by hosting our sixth NBA All-Star Game — something no other city has done. I look forward to working with the NBA and our local partners on this amazing event, which will bring thousands of visitors to Los Angeles, and generate more than $100 million of economic activity.” – Mayor Eric Garcetti
