The NBA and the Cleveland Cavaliers have unveiled the official logos for the 2022 NBA All-Star Game. The event and its associated festivities will be held at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in downtown Cleveland on Feb. 20 next year. The game will be significant as the NBA will be celebrating its 75th year.

That s why it was touted so aggressively as a selling point for public subsidies during the Q Deal debate.
