When the all star game was worth watching

This was the best error of the NBA… It died after this

Facts

i watched this entire clip, this is probably the most entertaining time in NBA history!

The game is an absolute joke now.

I liked when they all wore their own team jerseys

Jordan. Penny. And Kobe. You just had to be there! Such a great time!

Just that short 5min clip was better basketball than any all-star game of the last 5-7yrs. Hands down. It’s beyond a joke now & is just a 3pt shooting exhibition

When the league wasn’t full of overpaid babies looking for the next nightclub bottle service.

My exact expression watching this all star clip

I recorded this All Star Game. This was definitely the best one ever for me

We all know who ruined it. A bagless Queen, soft and can’t play 1 on 1. What else do you expect?

Not one white guy. Looks racist to me.

@ChartingFor Facts

They wanna tell you Jordan played against plumbers meanwhile it prime Shaq, Garnett, Duncan, young Kobe - all went on to win ships during the Lebron era including Shaq with Wade and KG & Duncan beating Lebron multiple times. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Man I miss defense, such a beautiful part of the game

I loved the NBA back then I can't even watch it now But tonight I will be watching unc vs duke

Amen! The GOAT.

I almost completely forgot about racism watching this

Bill Walton saying “what do you call it, the helicopter” sent me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

We were living in the golden age back then. It took the trash of the last 15 years to really understand how good we had it

I must have watch this 100,000 as a kid I went crazy when Kobe did the “pass to himself”. Other all star game that can compete to this was 2001

When the NBA in general was worth watching. Such 💩 now

We couldn’t wait to watch the all star game and the events of All-Star weekend now I don’t even turn All-Star weekend on

The days where i use to come home from school and shoot hoops all day until there was no more daylight!

When there used to be actual All Stars known for what they could do on the court instead of what they do off the court. No woke politics. No agenda pushing. Just super competitive athletics. That's all.

Was joking …. Then proceeded to drop 30 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

These were just competitors that loved to hoop. Today is transactional, most don't really love basketball like that, they simply love what the game provides for them.

NBA All Star '98: East: Michael Jordan Anfernee Hardaway Grant Hill Shawn Kemp Dikembe Mutombo West: Kobe Bryant Gary Payton Kevin Garnett Karl Malone Shaquille O'Neal

I get chills What a time NBAs peak

Take the same current guys and put them in a pick up game at a local gym and they will put on an absolute show. Because their competitiveness kicks in.

Can we go back, to where the players wear theirs teams uniforms for the all star game please?

This proves today's NBA sucks. 93 wearing home/away jerseys no gimmicks. During LeBrons days they started changing things, team captains, drafts, gimmicks. Because it's just not good basketball.

I.T. still hating on MJ off rip with him coming into this with Phil Jackson or Pippen. Then later on "nobody's double teaming anybody"

I watched this one live

Bring back the East/West format, no three team bullshit. And make it competitive not a free for all 3-pointer ASG. Also bring back the actual team uniforms to be worn for the game

Yeah they played D and like it was an actual game from start to finish! Back when the NBA was amazing to watch, no b.s., no fluff, competitors competing.. no flopping either!!
