[@ScottParisi]

What highlights. The amount athleticism from the big men was also impressive. More defense was played in these highlights than the last ten all star games. Barkley's left handed jam on Dikembe Mutombo Mplondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo was unreal. Mullin may not have missed a shot during this game. What a beautiful jumper. Clyde the Glide flying everywhere. Great video.

Early 90s basketball is what i grew up on and what made me love the NBA. It was a special time, NBA loaded with great players and personalities to match. You really got to love these guys when they were out there. I can't really say the same for the last 20 years of the NBA, especially today. What a treat this video was. I do believe I watched this game as a kid but haven't seen highlights since.

[@CraZzy3n3rGy]

Mullins is such a high iq player with those touch passes. No wonder he was picked in the dream team

[@dp233332]

he could just consistently nail good open shots also...Birds back problems limited his PT and effectiveness as a shooter...Mullin was a lights out shooter watch their full run of games from exhibition and prelims thru to the gold medal game its scary how consistently dead on balls accurate C.Mullin was...Ironically by the time Bird coached him with the Pacers Mullin also had some back issues and was no longer that effective of a shooter either...

[@Chevy-hw6lw]

Was thinking the same. Watched a few of his all star games , he got some credit but still criminally underrated. Very high IQ player . And his shot was so sweet. Kind of like Bird sweetness .

I love the 90’s NBA. Much more entertaining than today.

[@Ryenobal]

I remember watching this all-star game several times (I recorded it on VHS). In my opinion, it was the most dramatic and MAGICAL. The West shot the lights out and defense from both teams was stellar. Tim Hardaway was emerging as one of the best all-around PGs while Drexler was in the prime of his career. It would have been nice to see David Robinson also try out for a slam dunk championship with his athleticism. All-star games just aren't the same today without Magic & Isiah running the offenses for their respective teams.

[@AnHebrewChild]

G Ryan - "MAGICAL" perfect word for this game.

+ps2stony I think he means a bit more effort, guys actually playing D, and seeming to care about the outcome. The All-Star game today has gotten so boring due to noncompetitiveness. They play for a real in the last 5 minutes if it's still close, but that's it.

[@Ometecuhtli]

All-star game has always been more relaxed, even during the most defensive era (1st half of 2000s) they'd go above 110 points each team while in a normal game barely went past 90.

This was the first all star game I got to watch live on tv as a kid and honestly the time I fell in love with basketball. This kicked off a run of me being excited for the all star game for about 13 straight years. It is still something I have looked forward to even into my 40s.

[@anen9332]

@@chickhearn4ever779 You assert that Jordan was "way more athletic" in your first sentence, then proceed to list off skillsets that aren't directly applicable as pure examples of athleticism; whether Drexler dribbled the way you like, or ran in a straight line when he had possession, doesn't really speak one way or the other to raw athletic ability. So, for example, if Usain Bolt has never touched a basketball -- doesn't dribble well, can't shoot, can't pass, etc. -- and can't play well next to Steve Kerr or Steph Curry, that doesn't mean that Bolt is less athletic than those people. I hope this helps to solve your confusion, as I don't plan to get any more tautological with my explanation. Suffice to say, your reply is mendacious at best, deeply ignorant at worst.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

Magic's last four minutes truly as Magic in the NBA were as good as it gets. I cried my eyes out after he hit that last three and they basically stopped the game. Remember, this is just three months removed from his announcement, which in many ways, felt like a death sentence to the world. So to see him do this...to rise up to the moment one last time, it felt like goodbye. Thankfully, as a kid that idolized the man, that turned out not to be true.

[@anen9332]

@@CashCollecta It only took Stockton 10 seasons to break the all-time assists record. It took Magic 11 seasons. Stockton also did this with the handicap of coming off the bench and pkaying limited minutes in his first 2 and a half years in the league. From that perspective, Stockton surpassed Magic in just 7 1/2 years of starting. Which is crazy. Stockton also broke the all-time assists per game record in his first year starting, and is the only player in NBA history with multiple 1000 assist season. Stockton has 7 of the 9 1000 Assist Seasons, for the record. Magic's career high in assists is 13.1. The only time he averaged 13 or more assists in a season. Stockton had a higher average than that in his first season starting, with 13.8 assists per game. From 1987-88 to 1991-92, Stockton averaged 14 assists per game. In Magic's 13 season career, he averaged 11.2 assists per game. In Stockton's first 13 seasons in the league, he averaged 11.5 assists per game (despite that adorementioned minutes limitation and bench role in his first 2 1/2 seasons). This idea that Magic would have held onto the assist title if he had only kept playing is innumerate; Stockton broke the record in record time, and averaged more assists per game than Magic while doing it. He also averaged more assists per game through 13 seasons than Magic did in that same timespan (which encapsulated Magic's career). People treat Stockton with great disrespect. And the telling thing is that thet very often misrepresent the numbers to do it.
