A partnership between the Host Committee, the Indy Arts Council, and the Capital Improvement Board, Hoosier Historia is a celebration of Hoosier Hysteria and Indiana’s special connection with high school basketball.

“These investments and opportunities are the kinds of things that set Indianapolis apart as a host city, and it is only fitting that NBA All-Star 2024 will both create a lasting legacy on our young people across the state and a way to celebrate Indiana’s very special love affair with the game of basketball,” said Rick Fuson, Chief Executive Officer of Pacers Sports & Entertainment and the Chairman of the NBA All-Star 2024 Board of Directors.
