NBA All-Star Weekend: All-Time Biggest Surprises

By Josh Helmuth

By far the most inspirational moment in All-Star Weekend history, Magic returned to the All-Star game during his hiatus from basketball after revealing his positive test for HIV. Long before we knew much about the disease, Magic didn’t feel welcome to continue playing during the ’92 season in fear his condition could spread to other players. Invited to partake in the All-Star Game, Magic didn’t let his fans and fellow players down, putting on an epic show to the tune of 25 points and nine assists in what would be his final performance on a big stage.
