How many all star games was jordan in
It was one of the greatest All-Star games ever played, and Jordan was at best a footnote. That particular rematch would have to wait another year. Instead of the dunk contest, Jordan entered the three-point shootout—this despite his having made just 58 threes over his first five seasons—where he flamed out of the first round with just five points. His teammate Craig Hodges would go on to win his first of three consecutive titles.
He recorded the final All-Star game block of his career—on Hakeem Olajuwon, no less—and dunked on then-rookie David Robinson.
He only had two assists, but both led to easy dunks, one in transition to a streaking not that kind of streaking Dennis Rodman, the other a no-look to a wide-open Charles Barkley. His five steals were a game high. Magic Johnson, who scored a game-high 22, won MVP honors. He played in a uniform nearly identical to the one he played his first game in back in —just a little bit bigger, with a Wizards logo between his shoulder blades.
In the meantime, Isiah Thomas had gone from teammate to commentator to Eastern Conference coach. Jordan extended a hand to Allen Iverson for a high five, and Iverson came in hot with an exuberant chest bump instead, giving Jordan a laugh.
Kevin Garnett, who scored 37 points, was named MVP. Jordan, who finished with 20 in 36 minutes, had to settle for the consolation prize—Mariah Carey, in a skintight Wizards jersey dress, serenading him at halftime. The '92 game marked the single-game return of Lakers guard Magic Johnson, who had retired the previous summer after being diagnosed with HIV, but was still voted in as a starter.
In the meantime, his black shoes had caught on, as fellow All-Stars Chris Mullin and David Robinson picked up on the trend. That summer, after winning his second straight title, Jordan would team up with Mullin and Robinson and Johnson on the Dream Team, winning his second Olympic gold. Before the All-Star Game, Jordan was asked about his knee, which had been giving him trouble. Malone wound up winning MVP, only because his West squad won the game.
Four days after the All-Star Game, he scored 50 points in 40 minutes against the Bucks. The LA Lakers star is ranked third in the list of players with the most All-Star selections of all time.
