NBA All Star Game at Madison Square Garden Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the annual NBA All Star Game which this year will be at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

There should be some great individual performances by some of the all stars. A high scoring, entertaining game is expected.

In fact, the experts expect nearly 300 points to be scored and surely there will be some great individual moves as well.

One great NBA All Star game I believe in the New York area was recalled to me by the late, great broadcaster, Marty Glickman.

When I asked him about some of his broadcasting thrills, Marty cited the clutch free throw shooting of legendary Minneapolis Lakers’ center George Mikan in an All Star game.

Mikan had to make two free throws to tie the game and did so. Glickman recalled he winked at the crowd while doing so.

I also recall Hal Greer of the then defending NBA champion Philadelphia 76ers being the Most valuable player in an NBA All Star game, played at Madison Square Garden.

I look forward to new NBA All Star Game memories to be established tomorrow.
