SPECIAL RIP to dale Earnhardt/ as I have thus all star game still recorded on a VHS VCR tape this is beyond special & I give thanks to the person who uploaded this precious nostalgia 🙏🏿🙏🏿
I just love listening to the introductions of the players and getting the snapshot in time. How young did Olajuwon and Jordan look?! The old school centers (Moses, Artis) looked so menacing. And Ralph Sampson as Wemby-before-Wemby

Magic actually played this game with an injured knee, on a team that went on to win the NBA Finals that June. Today's players would never do such a thing, especially with title aspirations as real as his were at the time.
Larry Bird was pretty much the best player on the planet at this point Magic Johnson was on top of the world 🌎 and Jordan’s inevitable takeover was just beginning Olajuwon was beginning his greatness also
Oh, how I miss the old Reunion Arena in Dallas. That place was so loud when it was filled to capacity. The AAC has never been able to live up to its standards, in my view.
Watch how the guards point their finger up towards the air on offense. To signal the play. Something you’ll never see in today’s “basketball”, garbage NBA.
The greatest NBA intro theme! The music and commentary of the games, especially the playoffs and finals got you hype! Great memories!
Agreed…best intro theme!
NBA on CBS > NBA on NBC

Great upload. It brought back a lot of memories. Thanks
Yes it did I was teen in the 80s and I miss it
Great to see an Allstar game where they actually competed on offense and defense. Sad that we dont see it today.

The product was so good back then. Legendary players, good NBA analysists. How did the League turn into this terrible product today?

@@avonlaveIt’s a cycle.
Brings back great memories. Playing with pride. Offensively and defensively!!!

Here we go AGAIN🤦🏽
The celtics won it in 86
@@zt1053 You're right. L.A. was in '87.
@@ACFord yes and mcHale was hurt ( broken foot ) and bird ( back ) without those injuries especially Kevin’s foot Boston could’ve won in 87
@davemartino5997 Yeah, I watched a video once about how virtually ALL NBA Championships have an asterisk by them.
Awesome. Thanks!
Dr. J was guarded by a player 4 inches taller, a PF/C. Just to say... Magic and Bird usually guarded by shorter defenders.
Magic knee problems still plaid the guys back then had love for the game 💪🏾💪🏾
Magic played injured…but NOT a young Jordan
@@TiltBrook MJ broke his leg at the start of the season; what's the point to risk his career?
Here we go AGAIN🤦🏽
Bird played hurt half his career
The first of two All-Star Games hosted by the Mavs and inclement weather was a factor outside for both.
I was at the one in 2010. I was surprised Dallas got so much snow.
@jbizz80 Yeah... it was a foot of snow if you can believe it.
The Teams in the All Star Games then played to win and competed. Not so much any longer.
Yo I'm keep it a 💯 I don't think today best team can hang with the 80 early 90 worst team"" forget about the best team NO Chance,,
Here we go AGAIN🤦🏽
They could and the shooting ability of the big guys today would create huge mismatches.
@@mistymcfarlin8438Boomers/GenXers are close minded🤷🏽♂️
The East seemed to play better without Michael Jordan.
I feel like todays players don’t even play this hard for the championship !

When real players played real ball. The idiots that play today should study this.

😂😂😂😂😂🤡🙏🏽
Wtf was michael Jordan sitting out?
This is the season he broken his foot, remember? He didn't return from injury until the playoffs against Boston.
@ACFord lol I definitely don't remember, I was 1! But thanks for clarifying!
@@felipesantos1985 Magic played injured
