The NBA began offering All-Star ballots in three languages—English, Spanish and Chinese— for fan voting of the starters for the 2003 game.[1] Yao Ming was voted to start for the West over Shaquille O'Neal, who was coming off three consecutive NBA Finals MVP Awards.[2] Yao received nearly a quarter million more votes than O'Neal, and he became the first rookie to start in the All-Star Game since Grant Hill in 1995.[3]
Game summary
The Western All-Stars won the game 155–145 in double overtime. It seemed the East were on way to victory when NBA legend, Michael Jordan hit a fadeaway jumper to give the East a 138–136 with 4.8 seconds remaining in overtime. The crowd cheered vigorously as they thought they were witnessing another Jordan game winner, but Jordan's moment was ruined when Jermaine O'Neal fouled West player Kobe Bryant, shooting a three with one second remaining. He hit 2 of the 3 shots to send the game to a second overtime. In the second overtime, the West, particularly Kevin Garnett, dominated leading to a 10 point victory, 155–145. Kevin Garnett of the Minnesota Timberwolves won the MVP award after scoring a game-high 37 points. It was Michael Jordan's final All-Star game, after declining Allen Iverson's and Tracy McGrady's offers to give him their starting spot, he accepted Vince Carter's last minute offer.
The halftime show featured Mariah Carey
To date, this is the only All-Star game to go into Double Overtime.
Television coverage
This was the first All-Star Game aired on cable TV on TNT. It was also the first All-Star Game that went into double overtime. Not coincidentally, Atlanta is also the home base of Turner Broadcasting System, the Time Warner division that oversees TNT.
