1991 NBA All-Star Game
The 1991 NBA All-Star Game was an exhibition basketball game between players selected from the National Basketball Association's Western Conference and the Eastern Conference that was played on February 10, 1991, at the Charlotte Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina, home of the Charlotte Hornets. This game was the 41st edition of the NBA All-Star Game and was played during the 1990–91 NBA season.
The All-Star Weekend began on Saturday, February 9, 1991, with the Stay In School Jam, Legends Classic, the Three-Point Shootout and the Slam Dunk Contest.
This was the first NBA All-Star Game broadcast by NBC after 17 years with CBS.
The East narrowly beat the West, 116–114. Kevin Johnson's potential game-winning three-pointer for the West was nullified by a basket interference call on Karl Malone. Charles Barkley was named as the game's Most Valuable Player after scoring 17 points and grabbing 22 rebounds.
The All-Star Game returned to Charlotte in 2019, though it was played at the Spectrum Center in Uptown and hosted by the second incarnation of the franchise, and broadcast on TNT (the All-Star Game has never been broadcast on ABC or ESPN during the networks' current contract with the league, which began during the 2002–03 season).
Rick Adelman, head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, was named as coach of the Western All-Stars. Chris Ford, head coach of the Boston Celtics, was named as coach of the Eastern All-Stars. Both were determined by the best conference record at a pre-determined date mid-season before the All-Star Game, set in January.
The 1991 game was the first to implement the "Pat Riley Rule," which prohibits a coach from coaching an All-Star team in consecutive seasons. In such cases, the honor passes to the coach of the team with the next-best record in the same conference, with tiebreakers favoring the coach who has either never coached the game or hasn't done so less recently. The rule was established following its namesake's six consecutive appearances from 1985 to 1990, the second longest streak after Red Auerbach's eleven.
The 8th edition of the Schick Legends Classic took place on February 9, 1991. It consisted of an exhibition match between retired players from the Eastern and Western Conference. The East Legends won 41–34.
