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. 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 All-Star Game returned to Charlotte in 2019, though it was played at the Spectrum Center in Uptown, 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).

The West could have won, but Kevin Johnson's potential game-winning three-pointer was nullified by a basket interference call on Karl Malone. Charles Barkley was named MVP for the game.

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. 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.
