If ever you guys will agree with me, the best NBA All-Star game ever played was the 1992 All-Star game in Orlando, Florida. It was a very emotional game for everyone who played and for all the people who watched the game. That game was the return of the great Earvin "MAGIC" Johnson. People voted for him into this All Star game even though he didn't play a single minute during that season. Magic retired on 1991 due to the HIV virus he obtained.
People were cheering "Magic! Magic! Magic!" the moment his name was called. During the game itself, it was like vintage Magic Johnson. No-look pass, Behind the back, Bullet Pass betwenn two opponents, everything was simply magical. He even played 1-on-1 against Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas. And guess what, Magic won!!! At the end of the game, Magic collected 25 points and 9 Assists leading the West squad to victory. He was named the MVP of that certain all star game. But he won, not only the MVP award, but also the hearts of all the people who witnessed that Magical Game.
I am correct, NBA.com also named that game the best ever All-Star game.
