LeBron, Giannis and KD weren't the only shining lights of the 2019 NBA All-Star Weekend as the league capitalized on the showcase's proximity to Lantern Festival to further woo its Chinese fanbase.

Today's festival marks the end of the Lunar New Year celebrations, with the NBA and its business partners jumping on the chance to reach out to its biggest overseas market throughout the Chinese holiday period.

The "All-Star Chinese New Year Experience Hall", organized in conjunction with Chinese brand Master Kong Ice Tea, in the game's host city of Charlotte, North Carolina, was the culmination of those efforts.

On Saturday, All-Star player Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers was the first NBA star to sample the delights of the hall along with Chinese actor Zhang Zhehan.
