One man sums up this All-Star Weekend: Michael Jordan. His Slam Dunk Championship and his All-Star Game MVP prove it. He was the only Bull to play in that epic game, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar became the NBA All-Time point scorer in the All-Star Game alone.

The radio broadcast was unforgettable with Johnny Most and Chick Hearn working together to cover a memorable All-Star game, which also included Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, James Worthy, and so much more.

Before the world changed dramatically, the city of Chicago hosted the NBA All-Star Game. Here, the best players came to compete, and for the second year in a row, it wasn't East vs. West but rather Team Giannis vs. Team LeBron, akin to fantasy basketball. Despite the unconventional team setup, it was an exciting game that wasn't settled until the fourth quarter when the Kobe 24 rule came into effect. Just one month after Kobe Bryant's untimely death, the game wasn't decided until Anthony Davis hit a free throw to give Team LeBron the victory.

It was a different era from today's All-Star Game. This All-Star Game saw Kareem Abdul-Jabbar booed by the Los Angeles crowd because he was on the Milwaukee Bucks.
