3. All-Star Game MVP — Scottie Pippen (1994)

Although Scottie Pippen coming into his own played an integral role in the Bulls becoming perennial playoff contenders and eventually NBA champions, the consensus was that he merely played second fiddle alongside one of the greatest players to ever lace up a pair of sneakers in Michael Jordan.

After Jordan retired prior to the start of the 1993-94 campaign though, Pippen cemented his place as one of the top players in the league at the 1994 All-Star game.

In that contest, Pippen scored 29 points, pulled down 11 rebounds to go along with four steals. Additionally, Pippen shot an efficient 9-for-15 from the field, including a 5-for-9 effort from distance.

"“It was one of those games where I came out and I got myself a good warm-up where I wasn’t missing any shots,” Pippen said via NBA.com. “I was feeling pretty hot that day… I was in such a great rhythm.”"

Pippen helped lead the East to a 127-118 victory; won the MVP award, but even more important, he proved that the Bulls were not a one-man show.
