Here is a look back at some of the memorable All-Star moments in Chicago Bulls History.

The Chicago Bulls finished the first half of the season with a 28-29 mark. Given the fact that their level of play has been inconsistent at best, there wasn’t much for Bulls fans to cheer about through the first 57 games.

However, the one lone bright spot has been Jimmy Butler, who is having yet another breakout season.

Not only has Butler increased his scoring average for the fifth consecutive season, he is also averaging career highs in points (24.5), rebounds (6.3) and assists (5.0) on slash lines of .452/.337/.868.

Being that Butler has established himself as one of the best two-way players in the league, he was selected as a starter for the Eastern Conference All-Star team. But in a game, that featured very little defense (West 192, East 182), Butler’s impact was minimal.

In 19 minutes of action, Butler scored six points on 3-for-4 shooting from field to go along with three rebounds and two assists.

While Butler’s outing in the NBA’s midseason classic will not go down as one of the more memorable moments in Bulls history, here is a look back at a few performances that did make the cut.
