Michael Jordan Put On a Heckuva Show at ’88 All-Star Weekend

Posted Feb 14, 2018
In February of 1988, Michael Jordan was in his prime. The NBA All-Star Game was held that year in Chicago at the old and raucous Chicago Stadium. He was battling Atlanta’s Dominique Wilkins for the NBA Dunk Contest title, but everyone there that day knew Jordan was going to win, no matter what. Nor was there anything Wilkins could do about it.
