The NBA All-Star Game<\/a> has lost a bit of its luster in recent years. It turns out basketball fans aren't interested in watching a glorified three-point contest in which defense is completely optional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we've seen some iconic performances in the All-Star Game back when it used to mean something, so let's try to find the five best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. LeBron James records a triple double in 2011<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Only four players have recorded triple doubles in NBA All-Star Game history. Michael Jordan did it in 1997, Dwyane Wade had one in 2012, and Kevin Durant added another in 2017. In between, LeBron James also recorded one in 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future Hall of Famer racked up 29 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists in the game. However, he wasn't able to lead the Eastern Conference to a victory, partly because of the next player on our list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Kobe Bryant wins his fourth All-Star Game MVP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the same 2011 All-Star Game, Kobe Bryant went off for 37 points and 14 rebounds to best LeBron's triple double and lead the West to a 148-143 victory. After the game, Kobe was named the ASG MVP for the fourth season to tie Bob Pettit for the most ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Wilt Chamberlain dominates like only he can in 1962<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
