February 7-9, 1997: NBA All-Star Weekend, Cleveland
Anfernee Hardaway was still a starter in the first year without Shaquille O’Neal, scoring 19 points on 7-for-10 shooting in the East’s win. The big shocker in Cleveland was Glen Rice’s 20 points in the fourth quarter to give the East the win. And, yes, that is a young Kobe Bryant in his first All-Star Game. And Tom Gugliotta.
