About Jordan

Michael Jordan said he didn't want the All-Star Game to be about him. Nobody listened. First, Jordan was given a starting spot by Vince Carter; then he was honored at halftime. But while he passed Kareem for first on the All-Star scoring list, MJ's would-be game-winner was negated by a last-second foul, and the East fell in double OT.
