Chicago last hosted the NBA All-Star Game in 1988. Bulls star Michael Jordan was named the MVP of the game after scoring 40 points. Los Angeles Lakers center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also became the all-time leading scorer in All-Star Game history. He has since been passed by Jordan, Kobe Bryant and the current record-holder LeBron James.
This season’s All-Star Game will be hosted by Los Angeles at the Staples Center. The 2018-19 matchup will be in Charlotte.
