The line-up includes NBA stars Luka Dončić, Nikola Jokić, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jimmy Butler, former stars Steve Nash, Luis Scola and Kevin McHale, and the entire Slovenian team that won the European champion title in 2017.
Both the on-court event and the gala the evening before will be charities with 80% of the proceeds donated to the Association of Friends of Youth Ljubljana Moste Polje, and 20% to the Goran Dragić Foundation.
"What I want primarily is to raise funds for charities, but beyond that I want the two-day event to be memorable," Dragić said as he presented the event on Thursday.
