Played at Cleveland's Richfield arena. Fun game to watch filled with some great players from that era...No player broke the 20 point barrier as both Paul Westphal and Dennis Johnson had 19 for the losing West squad and Dr. J led the East with 18.. Robert Parrish led in rebounds with 10..Tiny Archibald was MVP with 9 points and 9 assists and 5 rebounds.

The East won 123-120..

No Magic on the West team??

1981 that was the year Magic only played around 35 games with knee problems. He was selected to the All Star team but sat out.

Larry Bird helped the Celtics overcome a 3–1 deficit by winning the last 3 games by 2,2 and 1 point margins, moving them into the NBA Finals, where they knocked off the Houston Rockets in six games.

Bird won game seven against Dr.J and the Sixers with an unbelievable left handed fast-break mid-range pull-up bank shot that put the Celtics up 91-89 - the game ended 91-90 and sent the Celtics and Larry Bird on to their first of three NBA titles during the Bird Era..
