The ancestor of the current All-Star Weekend was born here. Before the game there was a concert featuring Glen Campbell & Charlie Rich. Then at halftime, there was the first, organized slam dunk contest at a pro game. It featured Julius Erving, David Thompson, George Gervin, Larry Kenon & Artis Gilmore. Erving defeated Thompson in the finals. A game that was played at lightning speed and saw the Nuggets emerge with a win after a 93-point 4th quarter. David Thompson was named MVP.
