The Women's National Basketball Association All-Star Game, commonly referred to as the WNBA All-Star Game, is an annual exhibition basketball game played in the United States between the best players of the Western and Eastern Conference of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA).
The rest of the players are selected by league personnel including head coaches as well as media personalities.
In 2004, the game was not played in its usual format due to the WNBA players competing in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece.
The league also took a month-long break to accommodate players and coaches who would be participating in the summer games.
There, they'll repeat the course, and the player with the fastest time in the final round will receive the trophy.
