EAST 129, WEST 118, at the Alamodome (San Antonio)
ATTENDANCE: 36,037
MVP: Michael Jordan
Playing in his first All-Star Game after his return from his first retirement, Michael Jordan scored 20 points (on 8-of-11 shooting) and Shaquille O'Neal pumped in 25 to lead the East. The East took control by outscoring the West 41-22 in the third quarter. For O'Neal, this was the final All-Star Game he would appear in as a member of the East team until 2005 -- when he was on the Miami Heat.
Dallas point guard Jason Kidd, a 22-year-old in his second season, handed out 10 assists in his first All-Star Game appearance. Washington's Juwan Howard, in his second season, made his only All-Star appearance, scoring two points and grabbing six rebounds. Alonzo Mourning made the first of his five All-Star appearances as a member of the Heat while Clyde Drexler, a seven-time All-Star as a member of the Portland Trail Blazers, appeared in the game for the first time as a Houston Rocket.
Behind a 19-point, 11-assist effort from Raptors rookie Damon Stoudamire, the East team defeated the West team 94-92 in the Rookie Game. Fellow rookie Joe Smith of the Warriors led the West with 20 points and six rebounds.
The Dunk Contest trophy was claimed by Clippers rookie Brent Barry while Wizards guard Tim Legler took home the 3-Point Shootout crown.
