Michael Jordan meets Magic Johnson in All-Star Game (Twitter)

The All-Star weekend events are far beyond the traditional all-star game, but also a meeting between the stars of the game, past and present, who gather together in one arena, and this year, when the NBA League celebrates 75, there was already a real parade of past stars. Who introduced the greatest ever.

There was great doubt if Michael Jordan would come to the ceremony tonight (Sunday to Monday) in Cleveland, given the fact he was seen in Floyd in the Daytona Race (where MJ has two cars), but Michael again performed a miracle, took a private jet and made it to halfway through the game. And climbed on the parquet to the applause of the crowd.

He then on the pitch also received hugs and congratulations from Melbourne James, the landlord in Cleveland, who did not hide his excitement from meeting the greatest of all time.

LeBron was the one to score the winning basket, which gave the "LeBron Group" the 160: 163 victory over the "Durant Group".

"I could not have dreamed of a more beautiful moment than what happened now," LeBron said at the end, "for me to come back here, a 35-minute drive south of where I grew up in Akron Ohio, to score the winning basket in the All-Star Game, where years ago the guys and I would watch together. In the All-Star Game ... I remember 25 years ago we were 11, or 12, dreaming that one day we would have the opportunity or the means to see in Cleveland the big basketball stars, who inspired us so much. "

LeBron's team entered the fourth quarter 139: 138 behind, with the result being that the winner would be the first team to reach 163 points (according to the format rules - 24 points are required from the leading team).

Damar Druzen set 155: 161 for LeBron, Zac Lavin scored 5 consecutive points and shrank to 161: 160,

But of course the hero of the game was Stephen Kerry, who gave a tremendous performance with 16 threes (Allstar record of course) and 50 points.

Steph has not received too much love in Cleveland and the local crowd, who have seen him and Golden State beat the Cubs more than once in the great rivalry between the teams in the previous decade.

But despite contemptuous whistles here and there, he sniped from everywhere, squeezing cries of amazement from the broadcasters and enthusiastic tweets on the networks.

"It's a special moment, no doubt," he said of winning the MVP title and the Kobe Bryant trophy. "I feel blessed, I really appreciate it."

Darius Garland, a Cleveland player who took part in the game, said: "When you're with Steph on the field, you become a spectator. We all became. A 50-point game, it's crazy in an All-Star game. I was a spectator, I was a fan, I was a fan, even though I was on the same team." .

LeBron also complimented Steph: "Oh really, this man is from another planet ... he just has an automatic weapon attached to his hand, and when he releases, everyone knows it will come in. To be here on the field and see this kid from Macron shooting like that, was unbelievable."
