These cards can be earned through opening card packs, crafting, and participating in events. Special packs will also be available during both the Rising Stars game and the NBA All-Star game itself. However, there is no word yet on who could be in these particular packs.
It's possible that there could be legends, as the first event you play in to earn these cards have you taking on players going back to 1988, the last time the All-Star game was held in Chicago.
