The most exciting All-Star Game in the last 10 years

I am wondering..
What was for you the most exciting All-Star Game in the last ten years?

The one I most appreciated was in 2001, though the score was the smallest of these years (111-110 for the East). The Answer was MVP.

i would have to say last year's... MJ's last game, double OT, KG's MVP it was fun

the one where iverson and marbury dueled to the death the one with the mcgrady dunk off the backboard was nice too....

MJ's last ASG carried a lot of drama with it, and I think that's why I was really hooked while watching it. It was a great game, but I enjoyed Washington where the underdogs out East prevailed with Antonio Davis and Anthony Mason as their starting big men.

hmm good topic..

i'd have to say last years game by a slight margin.. the 2001 was exciting as hell with the marbury/bryant shoot out but nothing would top mj's fadeaway over marion.. ahhh

I like 2001 most,but imo '92 was great,especially(sp?) the end where MJ went one-on-one with Magic! 2003 was great because of MJ

As I'm a Michael Jordan fan, 1996 for me. It was also the last year that all the great players who came along in the mid-late 80s and early 90s all made an appearance. Quite a few of them would have appeared in 1997, but had to sit out due to injuries.

While we're on the subject, I've now got every All-Star Weekend from 1984 to 2004. When I have the time, I was thinking of watching them all and posting reviews and recaps here in the forum. I don't need any extra incentive to watch them, but would anyone be interested in me doing that? Obviously, the recaps/reviews would lead into a discussion about each All-Star Weekend.

96~~
I think it was the first all star game where each player wore the jersey of his respective team. MJ got a triple-double, Glen Rice broke the record for most points scored in a quarter? half? can't remember. And i think the east broke the record for most points scored in a quarter

I think you're talking about 97 All-Star Game, MaD_hAND1e.
Am I wrong ?

I enjoyed the 2000 All-Star game, first All-Star game since the lockout season

yeah i think that'd be great
start off with the 96 one

in 97 they wore their own teams uni's
i voted 97, that was the year that Glen Rice went off in the 3rd and MJ had that sweet tip dunk off the GH FT

I checked. MJ got the 1st triple-double of All-Star Game in 1997. And as Stack42 said, players wore their own teams jerseys. The Top 50 players of all-time were there too, when Glen Rice received the award.

96 All-star Game was not bad either. It was a special all-star game. At this time, the votes were done before the end of the game... The problem is that Shaq ended the game very well. (Do U remember the Slam dunk of Shaq at the end of this game ? Ask David Robinson.) Jordan was elected MVP, while many people thought Shaq deserved this award more than MJ.

I was planning on starting at 1984 and going forward, but I might do them in random order. I haven't decided yet.

(Though I have not seen a lot of all-star games in the 80's) it would be cool

Since I was originally going to do it without seeing if anyone would be interest first, two positive responses is about all I need. I'll start posting them soon.

Yes! do it!






Oh am i too late? J/K


I cant wait!!!

I'm already set on doing it, but further encouragement doesn't hurt.

1993 All-Star Game (???) (???????????)

the best I think... Hardaway got the inbound pass with 3 seconds left, crossover dribbled to left someone behind, a floater over don't remeber who from the top of the key that just hit the back rim...

then in overtime, Barkley hit a 3 from the left wing and the ESPN narrator went balistic
