The 2017 NBA All-Star game will reportedly take place in Charlotte
Here’s the Charlotte Observer reporting:
Charlotte has won a bid to host the 2017 NBA All-Star Weekend, the Observer has learned.
A formal announcement is expected on Tuesday, with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver in attendance at a news conference. Charlotte officials and the Hornets’ organization formally made a bid for the event last summer…
The city agreed last fall to pay for $33.5 million of what will be $40 million in improvements to the arena. The NBA saw those improvements as key to any All-Star bid.
