HEBA Greek All-Star Game
The HEBA Greek All-Star Game, also known as the EKO Greek All-Star Game for sponsorship reasons, is the All-Star Game of the HEBA (Greek: ΕΣΑΚΕ) Greek professional basketball association for men. It was founded and organized by Gus Sarianides. The men's all-star game has most often been played in a format featuring the Greek All-Stars, versus the Rest of the World All-Stars. There is also a men's slam dunk competition, and a men's 3-point shootout competition. The all-star weekend also features a game between under age 22 players and senior age players (players that are retired professionals), called the Rising Stars versus the All-Time Stars.

Players from the professional top-tier level Greek Basket League, the professional 2nd-tier level Greek A2 Basket League, and the Greek lower level divisions, are eligible to compete at the All-Star Game's weekend festivities. Normally, only players from the top-tier level Greek Basket League are eligible to compete in the men's all-star game. However, sometimes players from lower level divisions can also play in the men's all-star game, if they are selected on all-star day, during the all-star weekend festivities, as special participants by the coaches of the game, to play in the all-star game.
Such players however, are not considered to be all-star selections, because they are not officially chosen to be all-stars, and because they do not actually play in the top-tier level Greek Basket League, from which the actual all-star selections are chosen. However, players from the lower-tier level Greek divisions can participate in the men's slam dunk and men's 3 point shootout contests.

History
The Greek All-Star Game was held for the first time on December 31, 1991, and in that first game, "The Rest of the World All-Stars" defeated "The Greek All-Stars", by a score of 133–122. Over the next seven all-star games, the format was "The European All-Stars" versus "The American All-Stars". From 2001 until 2019, the format was the same as the original all-star game was, The Greek All-Stars versus The Rest of the World All-Stars. Since 2001, the Greek All-Star Game is held in various cities in Greece, which is in contrast to the early years of the all-star game, when most of the games were held at either the Peace and Friendship Stadium, or Nikos Galis Olympic Indoor Hall arenas in Athens.

Notes
- Giannis Antetokounmpo wasn't voted to the 2013 Greek League All-Star Game by the fans, nor was he selected to the game by the league's head coaches. However, Giannis' older brother, Thanasis, did compete in the 2013 Greek League Slam Dunk Contest, which took place at the same venue, and on the same day as, the league's All-Star Game. Giannis Antetokounmpo was also at the All-Star event, as he was assisting his older brother Thanasis, with some of his slam dunk contest dunk attempts. Since both of the Antetokounmpo brothers were already in attendance at the event, the All-Star Game's head coaches decided to allow them to both play in the All-Star Game, as a treat for the fans that were in attendance. However, despite the fact that both Antetokounmpo brothers played in the All-Star Game, they were not actually credited with being league All-Stars.
