The 1995 NBA All-Star Game was the 45th edition of the All-Star Game. The Western Conference won 139-112. The city of Phoenix hosted the event for the second time (the only previous All-Star game there occurred in 1975). Mitch Richmond of the Sacramento Kings was voted MVP of the game.
The 1995 NBA All-Star Game was broadcast by NBC the fifth consecutive year.
Background information
Charles
Barkley was the main host of the event. During a break in the game near
the fourth quarter he even wanted to shoot himself out of a catapult,
but his coach made sure he didn't do it because he did not want his star
player to get injured.[1]
Grant Hill of the Detroit Pistons was the first rookie in NBA history to lead the league in votes for this year's All-Star game.[2] Hakeem Olajuwon led the Western Conference voting.[2] Karl Malone and David Robinson were both questionable for the game due to injuries but they ended up playing limited minutes.[2] Dominique Wilkins and Clyde Drexler were not selected.[2]
Larry Johnson
came back to the All-Star lineup after missing last year's game due to a
serious back injury. It meant a lot for him to come back from the
injury and make the All-Star fame the next season. He came back as a
reserve this year.[2] Penny Hardaway played his first game as a starter for the Eastern conference team this year.[3] Cedric Ceballos was selected as a reserve, but did not play due to being injured beforehand by Dikembe Mutombo in a regular season game. Mutombo replaced Ceballos.[2]
Michael Jordan missed the game as he was still in the midst of his first retirement from basketball.[4]
