THE NEW YORK TIMES, NY, March 3, 1951
* Very 1st NBA All-Star game
* National Basketball Association
This 28 page newspaper has one column headlines on page 11: "East All-Star Pros Win" "Macauley Nets 20 Points to Help West, 111-94"
Other news of the day. Light browning with some spine wear, a few inside page cutouts and a large clean front page tear, otherwise o.k.
wikipedia notes: The National Basketball Association staged its first All-Star Game in the Boston Garden on March 2, 1951. From that year on, the game has matched the best players in the Eastern Conference with the best players in the Western Conference. The participants are currently chosen in two ways. The first is via fan ballot, with the leading vote recipients at each position starting the game; secondly the reserves are chosen by a vote among the head coaches of each squad's particular conference. Coaches are not allowed to vote for their own players. If a player is injured and cannot participate, the commissioner will select a replacement.
