February 7th, 1988: Jordan wins MVP at NBA All-Star Game held in Chicago. He racked up 40 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 4 blocks en route to a 138-133 victory for the East All-Stars. Jordan had also won the Slam Dunk contest the day prior.
Unfortunately, I was just under 2 years old at the time and, for unknown reasons, the All-Star Game hasn't been held in Chicago since. Houston will host its third since 1988 next season while LA, Phoenix and Orlando will have hosted 2 each. I'm not sure what the deal is but I'd murder some children to see Derrick Rose play in an All-Star game at the United Center. Luol Deng too, dammit.
This video features some delightful Jordan moments:
And some more Jordan happiness:
