The 1990 NBA All-Star Game was held at the Miami Arena in Miami, Florida, with the East squad beating the West, 130-113.  The Lakers' Magic Johnson scored a game-high 22 points for the West and was the game’s MVP, but a 40-23 outburst by the East in the first quarter proved too much to overcome. Jordan and Charles Barkley scored 17 points apiece, two of the five players in double-figures for the East. The game marked the final All-Star playing appearance for Boston's Larry Bird (he would be elected to two more, but not play). A starter for the East, Bird had eight points and eight rebounds in 23 minutes. Four stars of the 1990s -- David Robinson, Reggie Miller, Dennis Rodman and Scottie Pippen -- all made their All-Star debuts in this game.

Offered here is a limited-edition 1 of 196 red, white and blue paneled Spalding basketball that has “1990 ALL STAR GAME SHOOTOUT” on one white panel and the “ALL-STAR WEEKEND FEB. 9-11, 1990” logo on another white panel. During the 3-Point Contest, this style ball is known as “The Money Ball” as it is placed last in the rack and worth extra points. This ball has been signed by the eight participants of the 1990 3-Point Contest, all in black marker and include Hall of Famers Michael Jordan and Larry Bird. Other signatures include Craig Hodges (the 1990 winner), Craig Ehlo, Mark Price, Reggie Miller, Bobby Hansen, and Jon Sundvold. This ball shows great use and to our knowledge is the ONLY game used basketball used in Michael Jordan's ONLY 3-point contest and Larry Bird's winning contest. This ball comes with a LOA from Beckett Authentication for the signatures.
