This was also the second time that Phoenix has hosted the All-Star Game; the city had previously hosted the event in 1975 at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum, the Suns' previous home arena. The Western All-Stars won the game 139–112 over the Eastern All-Stars. Mitch Richmond of the Sacramento Kings was voted MVP of the game. The 1995 NBA All-Star Game was broadcast by NBC the fifth consecutive year. Background information Charles Barkley was the main host of the event. During a break in the game near the fourth quarter he even wanted to shoot himself out of a catapult, but his coach made sure he didn't do it because he did not want his star player to get injured.https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2015/02/11/nba-all-star-game-1995-five-facts NBA All-Star 1995: A celebrity dunk contest, Charles Barkley roast and more Nadkarni Rohan SI.com May 5, 2017 Grant Hill of the Detroit Pistons was the first rookie in NBA history to lead the league in votes for this year's All-Star game.https://www.baltimoresun.com/1995/02/10/hill-co-give-big-show-new-cast-1995-nba-all-star-game/ Hill & Co. give big show new cast 1995 NBA ALL-STAR GAME tribunedigital-baltimoresun May 5, 2017 en Hakeem Olajuwon led the Western Conference voting.
