The 16th Annual NBA All-Star Game was an exhibition basketball game played on January 11, 1966, at Cincinnati Gardens in Cincinnati, home of the Cincinnati Royals (now known as the Sacramento Kings). To date, it is the only NBA All-Star Game held in Cincinnati, as the Royals would relocate to Kansas City and become the Kansas City-Omaha Kings in 1972. This was the second and most recent time the franchise hosted the All-Star Game as it had previously hosted the 1956 game in Rochester, New York, as the Rochester Royals. It was also the first All-Star Game to be hosted in the state of Ohio; subsequent games in the state were hosted in Richfield and Cleveland by the Cleveland Cavaliers, which was formed in 1970. The coaches were the Boston Celtics' Red Auerbach for the East and the Los Angeles Lakers' Fred Schaus for the West, as the Lakers and Celtics had made the previous year's finals and led their respective divisions entering the game. Much of the game would focus around the local team's three named All-Stars. Cincinnati Royals' Oscar Robertson had been named the event's MVP in 1964, and Jerry Lucas had been named MVP in 1965. At game time, the East Division's top three teams, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers and Cincinnati, had the three best records in the league, with the New York Knicks trailing far behind. This led East coach Red Auerbach to name Cincinnati's Adrian Smith as a reserve and not New York's sharpshooting Dick Barnett, a source of some controversy at the time. The home crowd rallied behind Smith as he emerged as the game's star. It was Smith's only All-Star appearance, and he remains to-date the only one-time NBA All-Star ever named the event's MVP. The East beat the West 137–94. The overmatched West suffered not just from poor shooting, but also from losing key All-Star Jerry West to an eye injury in the first quarter. The game was nationally televised, with an attendance of 13,653.
