MJ's Sun Sets In The West

Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan exits as the all-time All-Star scoring king.

 

While the story line of the night was Vince Carter giving Michael Jordan the start, the final word came from the West in its 155-145 double-overtime victory over the East. Kevin Garnett's 37 points earned him the MVP.
