For many basketball fans the 1998 All-Star game would serve as a passing of the torch from a once in a lifetime talent such as Michael Jordan, to a young up-and-coming Philly wide-eyed nineteen year old Kobe Bryant. Only one arena could hold such an event, Madison Square Garden in New York City. Jordan would go on to win the MVP naturally with an impressive 23 point performance, all of which while suffering from the flu. Offered here is an East-West NBA All-Star team signed basketball by some of the best to ever hit the hardwood in black felt tip marker. Notables include: Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, David Robinson, Karl Malone, Reggie Miller, Shaq O'Neal, Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Jason Kidd, Anthony Hardaway, Gary Payton, Tim Hardaway & others. Easily one of the most impressive groupings of basketball stars to ever hit one sphere! Overall in fine condition with the NBA All-Star logo engraved into the ball. Authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA) with a full letter of authenticity.
