It was fist launched in 1998 and lasted until 2001. After a long hiatus, the event returned in 2017, under the name Orange All Star Game. It took place in Kortrijk with the selection limited to only home-grown players of the EuroMillions Basketball League (a player should have had at least four years of training in Belgium between the ages of 12 and 21). In the following 2018 edition, all players of the league (including foreigners) were eligible for selection. [1]

The profits from the 2019 edition (the 3d Orange All Star Game) at the Forest National, were donated to an association committed to the fight against cancer. [2]

The 2020 and 2021 editions were suspended due to COVID-19. It has not been held since 2019.

Well-known players like J.R. Holden, [3] Shaun Stonerook, [4] Ron Ellis, [5] Roger Huggins and Tomas Van Den Spiegel have featured in the All-Star Game.
