1) Jazz Host All-Star Weekend, Co-MVPs: February 21, 1993

By the early ’90s, the Jazz had come a long way since their humble beginnings in New Orleans. In a culmination of that long road to relevancy, the Jazz and Salt Lake City were selected to play host to the NBA and the basketball world for the 1993 NBA All-Star Game.

Naturally, Stockton and Malone seized the moment in front of their home crowd. Malone led the way with a team-high 28 points, adding 10 rebounds and two blocked shots. Meanwhile, his point guard steered the ship for the Western Conference, dishing out 15 big assists.

In the end, the West prevailed in overtime, 135 to 132, and Stockton & Malone both raised the trophy after the game as Co-MVPs. It remains the pinnacle of Jazz achievement in the All-Star Game.
