The Golden State Warriors have submitted a bid to host the 2021 NBA All-Star Game.

The Warriors will open up Chase Center for the 19-20 season.

The only time the city of San Francisco held the contest was in 1967 when the franchise was based there.

Golden State last hosted the event in Oakland in 2000.

The NBA will host the 2018 All-Star Game in Los Angeles and the 2019 edition in Charlotte.

The NBA will switch formats for the All-Star Game this season with two captains selecting teams without regard to conferences.

The players who win the fan vote from each conference will be the captains.

Twelve players will still be selected from each conference for the Feb. 18th game.

The new system will enable players from each conference to play against each other and will allow current teammates to face off. 

The ten starters of the game as voted upon by fans and players will be picked first.

LeBron James and Stephen Curry would have been the captains had the NBA applied these rules last season.
