One of my friends gave me a DVD a while ago with some basketball games on it. One of them was one I played in a few years ago but he didn't tell me that on there was also the NBA All Star game from 1992. That's almost 17 years ago now but if you were a fan of the NBA in the 90's the starting line-ups were as good as it gets:
EAST
Isiah Thomas
Michael Jordan
Scottie Pippen
Charles Barkley
Patrick Ewing
WEST
Magic Johnson
Clyde Drexler
Chris Mullin
Karl Malone
David Robinson
The game itself ended up being a blowout with the West shooting the lights out and dominating the game 153 - 113. Still, it was still great to see some of the best players ever putting on a show. Having seen the end of their careers, I had almost forgotten just how good many of these players were. How athletic and dangerous players like Drexler, Pippen and Barkley were ... and Mutumbo as a rookie (he's now 42)!
Here are some of the numbers from the game:
Magic (was MVP) 25 points, 9 assists, 5 boards
Drexler 22 points, 9 boards, 6 assists
Tim Hardaway 14 points, 7 assists
Jordan 18 points, 5 assists
Barkley 12 points, 9 boards
Rodman 13 boards
Here are the top 10 plays from the game ... and there were some good ones!

Simply a brilliant game. I had it on video since '92 and was happy to be able to convert it to DVD. Glad you enjoyed it mate. Oh, and the top ten highlights were great. My fave involved both our top guys. Magic to Timbug. Both with their patented moves. The no look to Timmy for the UTEP Two Step. Great memories.
Tux.
