FIBA All-Star Games were all-star basketball exhibition games, which were also known as "FIBA Festivals". The "FIBA Festival All-Star Games" were held from 1964 to 1995. The FIBA European Selection teams won most of the FIBA Festival All-Star Games, with an overall record of 24–5. The FIBA Festival All-Star Game event was eventually replaced by the FIBA EuroStars All-Star Game event, in 1996. The FIBA EuroStars All-Star Game was last held in 1999.

Awards and selection criteria

The FIBA Festival All-Star Games featured the "FIBA European Selection" teams. Being chosen for the FIBA European Selection Team was the highest individual honor for a European club player at the time. The all-star games pitted the players of the European Selection teams, against various club teams, national teams, and non-European-wide all-star team selections. Only the players that were chosen to the FIBA European Selection teams were credited with having All-European Club Team honors. While all of the players that participated in each of the all-star games, from both teams, were credited as having all-star game appearances.

Originally, the first five FIBA European Selection teams (1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, and 1968), were selected from among the players of the European-wide top-tier level FIBA European Champions Cup (FIBA EuroLeague). However, starting with the 1969 All-Star Game event, the FIBA European Selection team players were chosen from among the players from all of the club leagues in Europe. Over the years, most of the all-star game's FIBA European Selection team players, came from what were the three major European-wide professional club basketball leagues at the time, the aforementioned top-tier level FIBA EuroLeague, the second-tier level FIBA European Cup (FIBA Saporta Cup), and the third-tier level FIBA Korać Cup. In addition to talent, skills, and performance, diversity was also paramount in choosing the players of the FIBA European Selection teams, which aimed at allowing for several different European national basketball schools to be represented at the all-star games.

After the FIBA Festival All-Star Game was last held in 1995, it was replaced in 1996, by the FIBA EuroStars event. The FIBA EuroStars was a normal all-star game selection award for the players that competed in it. Being chosen to one of the FIBA EuroStars game's teams did not give a player a separate individual All-European Club Team award, like being named a member of the FIBA European Selection Team did with the FIBA Festival All-Star Games.

In 2001, what was the equivalent of a FIBA European Selection Team award was introduced with the EuroLeague's All-EuroLeague Team award. As the All-EuroLeague Team also honors the top European selection of club team players into a list of ten players. However, unlike the FIBA Festival All-Star Game's European Selection Team, the EuroLeague's All-EuroLeague Team selection does not include an all-star game event featuring the players.
