The All-Star weekend always guarantees special moments during and around the game time. The fans get to witness some of the greatest players go against each other. This is also when we see all the greats like Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Magic Johnson in attendance gracing us with their presence, making the All-Star event even more special.

During the event, we saw Kevin Durant and LeBron James captain their teams to face each other at the NBA 75th All-Star game to raise money for respective charities. Moreover, as expected this event blessed the NBA fans with unforgettable moments.

Michael Jordan is in the house!!

Of all the moments that bring a smile to the face of a fan, the off-court moments of the players are the ones that we love the most. Spinning the magic on the court, then acting like the rest of us and having nothing but fun with each, makes us love our favorite stars more. 

One such moment which we were blessed with was when on Sunday night, Michael Jordan had some fun during the event.

MJ walked up to Luka Doncic rather sneakily and hugged him before exchanging a few words of affection and respect between the two. Karl Anthony Towns then joined the two, shook MJ’s hand and the two had some fun addressing each other as both showed happiness on seeing each other.

The fans are never shy of having some banter and fun whenever something like this happens. Even when it does not, we usually find a way to have some laughs and enjoy the moments created by the stars. 

Just as the great Michael Jordan had a coming together and a few laughs with Luka Doncic and Karl Anthony Towns, the fans on Twitter had some fun of their own as well.

Sunday night came to an end when Team LeBron came up with the victory in the All-Stars game reaching the 163 points mark before Team Durant. Befittingly, James came with the winning points for his team. On the other hand, Stephen Curry was absolutely sensational, scoring 50 points and ended up just short of the all-time points record in the NBA All-Star by only 2 points.

Naturally, Steph won the All-Star MVP award, which was redesigned and was named after the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant. This was the first time that the Kobe Bryant trophy was given for the All-Star MVP.
