LOOK: Michael Jordan at the All-Star Game through the years
Six-time NBA champion, six-time NBA Finals MVP, five-time league MVP and 10-time 1st Team All-NBAer Michael Jordan is also an All-Star game legend after being named an NBA All-Star 14 times in his career, the fourth-most of any player.
In the 13 All-Star Games Jordan participated in (he sat out in 1986 due to injury), the North Carolina legend averaged 20.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists, winning All-Star Game MVP three times along the way.
He’s also at the center of perhaps the biggest controversy in All-Star Game history, as Jordan has stated he believes Isiah Thomas froze him out in the 1985 All-Star Game and refused to pass him the ball in the contest, which Thomas has since vehemently denied.
Stop lying this story is not factual or accurate, tell the truth man. Dr.J, Moses Malone, Larry Bird, Sidney Moncrief and I did not freeze you out. If memory serves me correct I was injured most of the second half and Bird had a broken nose. Magic and Sampson dominated the game. https://t.co/B000xZ2VGO

Regardless of the ugly pettiness between the two all-time NBA stars, Jordan became synonymous with the All-Star Game in his career.
