The 13th National Basketball Association All-Star Game was played on January 16, 1963, at Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena in Los Angeles, home of the Los Angeles Lakers. The coaches were Boston Celtics' Red Auerbach for the East, and the Lakers' Fred Schaus for the West, their second straight time together. This was the last All-Star game to feature one of the original All-Stars from the 1951 game, with Bob Cousy making his thirteenth and final All-Star appearances.
The East All-Stars won 115–108, with Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics winning the NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player award after logging 19 points and 24 rebounds.
