2. All-Star Game MVP — Michael Jordan (1998)

Jordan and the Bulls had already cemented themselves as the dominant team of the 1990s, having won five of the previous seven titles from 1991-97.

Although Jordan had won the All-Star MVP award on two other occasions (1988 and 1996), he showed that his competitive fire burned hotter than ever as he took aim at some of the league’s up-and-coming stars, including a 19-year-old Kobe Bryant, who many dubbed as the heir apparent to Jordan.

In what should have been a blowout for the West, the East ran away with this one in convincing fashion 135-114. Jordan was the game’s leading scorer with 23 points on 10-for18 shooting. He also added eight assists, six rebounds and three steals en route to winning his third MVP award.

This would mark Jordan’s final appearance at the All-Star game as a member of the Chicago Bulls.
