Now THIS is what an All-Star Game is supposed to be like. No team just jacking up the 3’s all game long, and some actual defense being played. Miss this era of basketball so much!!

These days were just ridiculously good. Pretty much every player in this game is good enough to be in the starting lineup. One thing I really marvel at when I look back is the way that Magic, Michael and Isiah could entertain WITHOUT traveling! Those driving and spinning layups of Magic where he stays low to the floor...many today would get away with taking an extra step to pull those moves off, but Magic does them flawlessly.

The starting five for the East is damn near my all-time starting five. Ridiculous.

Isiah and Magic passing was ridiculous

Damn, they taking real serious game in All-Star Game. Look how much hustling in there. Awesome game indeed! Those Hall of Famers mean business.

THE AMOUNT OF TALENT IS TOO MUCH TO COMPREHEND

Just finished watching the condensed version of this year's allstar game. I can't watch it anymore. These guys played defense and still showed offensive skills. Defense is a skill. I miss my childhood.

Larry Legend being legendary as always!

Back when the NBA had real men and real class.

That East Team roster is just ridiculous. They would have been a great contender against the Dream Team. 5:55 Magic does a beautiful assist, then Zeke immediately counters with a between the legs bounce pass to Jordan And in the end Barkley with that crazy shot that came out of nowhere. Those are the kind of things only the greats can do.

7:28. That is a monster block on a monster player. Charles Barkley. Best all-star game EVER.

This is the real meaning of NBA ALL STAR GAME

This is insane. The amount of talent. This was the nba I grew up watching

It's ridiculous how much bball IQ there is in this game.

This was my favorite NBA season ever of all time. Look at the amount of hall of famers that were on this floor and all of them were in their prime. The names are unbelievable. That was a special time

I'll put any of the 80's allstar games against any of the allstar games of today. They don't even play defense today as they did back then, Isaiah and Magic always on a show faster than anyone!!!

Do you see the star power in this all-star game. These legends on one floor competing in there primes. This is a real all-star game. I love it

What Doug Collins said years ago was true. Players in the past were just as fast. The only major difference is the strength, and only because back then they didn't do the serious weight training done today. Damn these guys flew.

This just might be the best All-Star game I've ever seen!

so many legends on the court at once. also a reminder- that isiah really used to run the show in these all star games. from like 81 to 92 he was the boss of the east team, always running the break. amazing era though- so many great passers- athletes and personalities - everything. but yeah- history sort of looks over isiah for whatever reason- but he should be considered a top 10 all time player. in terms of dominance- he was right there between magic, bird and jordan- but his name never gets mentioned. i guess it s political and what not- but he was as big a star as they were for a while. when i was a kid it was simple, we dreamed of passing like magic, shooting like bird, jumping like jordan and dribbling like isiah.

pure basketball... beautiful to watch

Michael Jordan has not won any championships yet but he is considered the best player in the game. I was alive, watching in 1990 and I remember. At this time, Rodman was not the great rebounder yet statistically, yet, he was on the All Star team for his incredible defense. It is amazing that he does not get the credit he deserved for Detroit's and Chicago's success.

jordan... assist to rodman for a quick dunk...so good!!!

So many all-time greats in ONE game. From the Original Dream Team in 1992, you had no less than 10 players here: MJ, Pippen, Bird, Barkley, Ewing, Magic, Stockton, Robinson, Drexler and Cris Mullin. (Karl Malone was injured and could not play here or there would have been 11. And Akeem or Hakeem Olajuwon and Reggie Miller would be Dream Teamers themselves for 1996). Even more impressively, a LOT of the players here (13 in all) made the 50 Greatest NBA Players of All Time list established by the NBA in its 50th anniversary during the 1996-97 season: East - Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Isiah Thomas, Robert Parish, Patrick Ewing, Kevin McHale, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan West - Magic Johnson, John Stockton, David Robinson, Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler That's 13 players, or more than 1/4 of the all-time 50 greatest players together in one game! And that's more than half of the 24 players playing in this All-Star game! Aside from the 13 players mentioned above plus Mullin and Miller, there are 3 more players here (Joe Dumars, Dominique Wilkins, and Dennis Rodman) who are also in the Hall of Fame. That's 18 players in all (19 if you include Karl Malone). We also have to consider that Tom Chambers has the most career points (over 20,000) of anyone not in the Hall of Fame, and Kevin Johnson probably would have made it if injuries hadn't cut his career short. So 18 Hall of Famers playing together in 1 All-Star Game, which could have been up to 21. MIND-BLOWN.

All players on this East team are in the Hall of Fame.

Magic is amazing. He’s schooled MJ so many times

Just wow - that's how basketball is suppose to be played. So many Hall of Famers, best players of the 80s and the very best of the 90s - pure awesome.

Wow, Jordan, Magic, Bird, Olajuwon, Barkley, Robinson, Malone, Stockton, Kevin Johnson, Drexler, Pippen, Wilkins, Ewing, Rodman, Miller, Mullin, Isiah all NBA legends in their absolute prime, this might be the best ASG team ever, seriously check out the stats of these guys from that season. These team would destroy the 2011 ASG team.

7:29 dat barkley block

Now this is a real all-star game. Today they play circus ...

Maybe not the greatest scorer ever, but the more I watch, I really think Magic is and was the greatest all around player ever

best eastern starting lineup of all time ever again

This is better than today's NBA All-star games. Look at all the legends.

MJ,Isiah and Bird played really well together, shame they both hated Isiah.

I never saw this game... I was in basic training... Their is no way you can assemble a team of today's players that could beat the east or west unbelievable pace of play...passing was brilliant... defense did exist. Barkley blocked an Akeem dunk attempt was the play of the game... I got good bumps.

So much talent in one place that I can't make up my mind who to watch and who to look at each and every possession. Amazing.

Definately one of the greatest allstar games ever. The intensity of this game is like a playoff game today. Look at Jordan dive on the loose ball at 4:05. Unbelievable. I wish they still played this hard today.

Now this is a game!

Barkley is extremely underrated

It was golden era of basketball, no dubt

Isiah and Magic use to make these worth watching. Did you see that bounce pass through ewings legs to micheal? amazing

7:30 Barkley blocks Hakeem - epic

They Announcer said it perfect, ( WHAT A WAY TO END THE GAME ) Man i love watching all these ALL- STARS Play on one court 🏀🔥👌💯

Is it me or is everyone in this game a hall of famer?

90's never die, it just fade away !!!

Hate to sound like an old-timer, but ain't this beautiful! The Dream Team - Magic, MJ, Bird, Ewing, a young Robinson, Mullin, Barkley (what a way to end the game plus that block on the great Olajuwon!) plus Wilkins & Thomas & Joe Dumars (I remember him as a great defender & shooter, but he throws a heck of a good pass in these highlights.)

zeke the best little man to ever play. Bird Jordan & Magic better, but Zeke only 1 to beat them all.

It's hilarious that some people consider Lebron the best player ever, I'm not even sure he would even make it to this all star game, let alone compete at the level of these basketball legends.

There is at least 15 of the NBA's 50's all-time greatest players playing in THIS all-star game !! THIS was BasketBall at it's very best and it peaked until 1988-1990. Then it started to go downnhill in the early 90's .. Magic Johnson 1990 all-star MVP - YEAH BABY !!!

One of the nastiest Eastern All Star teams ever.

wow look at all these names ,what a game featuring some of the best players in the history at the same time!!!

Ohhh my god!!! MAGIC JOHNSON!!! But not only MAGIC, But Michael Jordan, Bird, Barkley, Olajuwon, Isiah, Pippen, and others... Dammit... Just simply the best players of all time!!! thanks!!!

Jesus if u just watch these guys just know how to play the game so much better than today’s players

Back when All-Stars game were fun to watch. All-Star games have always been about the offense but you got the sense that these guys weren't just going to hand the ball to you unlike today's mockery of a game where guys literally clear out of the lane so guys can throw themselves a lob off of the backboard uncontested.

Man, that's some all star game

A real AllStar Game, a real fight to be the BEST player!! these players can attack and DEFEND!!!

The Greatest Point Guard(Magic Johnson). The Greatest Two Guard(Michael Jordan The Most talented Center(Hakeem Olajuwon) The Best Small forward( Larry Bird) The Most Talented Powerforward(Charles Barkley).

When All-Star games where worth watching. The way Isiah Thomas distributed the ball with his floor vision was insane.

I had to watch this again to cleanse my mind of the 2016 All-Star Game. After the awesome three-point and slam dunk contests, they treated us to one of the most boring games ever shown on TV. **smh**

I have to say i miss watching Rodman play. The guy was nuts but he sure hustled his ass off and the dude could run the court.

man isaih passes were very crisp-jordan was a monster-great all star game!!!!

The greatest All-Star I've EVER seen. Hands down! The NBA will never be this good again. Thanks for the video!

Sir. Charles and Larry Legend 2 best ever

. 5:07 Isiah had the tough choice of passing to either Charles Barkley or Michael Jordan on the break.

this is the way all-star games should be. the players are playing defense and the game is still a showcase for offensive skills without de-volving into a layup drill.

19 HOF in this all-star game #outstanding!!!!

Barkley and Jordan that year were one man gangs. Barkley should have won MVP that year. He was near the top in scoring, fg% and rebounding.

even tho the Western All-Stars lost, my favorite NBA player #32Magic "Showtime" Johnson was still phenomenal!

Back then, to make the All Star Game, you had to be damn near a Hall of Famer!

I doubt we will EVER see that much talent in an NBA All Star game again. Magic Johnson was the MVP in 90. A few players have won multiple times, but NO player has won two years in a row! Bob Petitt & Kobe Bryant have the most All Star MVPs with 4. Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan & Shaquille O'Neal had 3. Four times there were CO-MVPs. In 93 they were from the same team, John Stockton & Karl Malone from the Utah Jazz.

3:54 Rodman Jordan Pippen

The entire original Dream Team are playing in this game (excluding Laettner of cause) If you are wondering where Karl Malone is he was voted to play in the game but was injured.

6:21 that block on olajuwon though

LOVE the ending!!!!!! Just can't stop laughing in amazement.

man that lineup... complete awesomeness.

These young kids need to watch these highlights and see what real basketball is 💯

The game was better in that era. I guess I sound biased cuz I grew in that time but man it seems like more real basketball then to me.

Charles' block in this is an absolute beast! On Hakeem to, nasty block sir Charles

Nice game and pretty Good old r n b Classic musik from Michael Jackson and Bobby brown..... This was the good old time.....

Man, can we go back in time?? NBA was just that fun...

I wish Isiah Thomas and Bird played together. In these All-Star games they always worked well off each other. If IT was a little bit older, he could have played in Indiana with Bird and maybe he would've stayed. Knight could've had two more championships under his belt.

oh man thanks, look a how this game was play,everyone is running all the time, and the intensity in defense, a jewel no doubt

StAcked back in the 90s

Only place where Jordan and pippen got along with Isiah Thomas.

Rodman was such a freak athlete.

The NBA SUCKS TODAY. I use to love this game.

Isiah w jordan is a deadly backcourt combination. They might win dozens of championship. Both are thirsty of wins and championship.

Hubie brown didn't have great success as a coach, but always loved his insight and enthusiasm as a commentator, and well past the age of 80

maybe the best all around quality allstar game to date.

What a player Magic Johnson was...wow. Jordan looked great too. The two goats ever

The game looks so real back then even in last 20 sec still play though defense.

This is the NBA i love

Would have been something to see them together in 90. They were great in 96 but this is in their athletic prime.

Que jugada maravillosa de MAGIC, estos si eran verdaderas estrellas.

glory days of the NBAwhen basketball was played by men and real superstars...

2:53 is the best highlight of the whole game. If you see it slow-mo you will realize how amazing of a pass that was.

EVERY PLAYER!!! ON THE EAST IS IN THE HOF bu bu bu bu bu the 90s were weak crazy

This is a Real All Star Game

pure entertainment and for sure never disappointment to watch🏀

During Larry Bird and Magic Johnson era and Jordan era the East was the dominant conference
