NBA: Looking back at the top 10 All-Star Game MVP performances

9. Charles Barkley (1992) ~17 points, 22 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block

Before he was the lovable TNT commentator, Charles Barkley was an absolute beast. The 1992 All-Star Game featured 15 future Hall of Famers, but Sir Charles outshined them all on this night. He was simply unstoppable on the boards by pulling down eight offensive rebounds. His two-way dominance this night helped the former-76er take home the nights’ highest honor.

8. Russell Westbrook (2016) ~ 31 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals

Russell Westbrook has built his career on being a stat stuffer. Win or lose, there is no question whether the Brodie left it all on the court. His mindset did not waver during the midseason showcase, as Westbrook took control from start to finish.

In only 22 minutes of work, he was able to put up 23 shots, including 17 from deep. His five steals are also the second-most all-time in a single game.

7. Oscar Robertson (1964) ~ 26 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists

Always remember kids, respect your elders. The 1964 All-Star Game was a pure example of the brilliance of “Big O.” Playing alongside Bill Russell, Jerry Lucas, and Hal Greer among others, he was able to be the brightest star in the league. Already in his fourth year, Robertson was just two assists shy of the NBA’s first All-Star Game triple-double.
