Miller then oversaw the construction of the building. After Jazz moved to Utah, his 12,000-seat Salt His Palace, which hosted Jazz, grew beyond the size of the franchise and the city.<\/p>\n The team took its first win at the building on November 9, 1991 against the Los Angeles Clippers and named it the Delta Center.<\/p>\n Shortly after the Delta Center debuted, then-Commissioner David Stern awarded the 1993 NBA All-Star Game to Utah.<\/p>\n The All-Star weekend wasn’t without its problems, as Michael Jordan spent the week leading up to the golf game in Las Vegas, refusing to reveal it to the media in Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n The three-point contest was won by Cleveland Cavaliers sniper Mark Price, and Miami Heat guard Harold Minor won the dunk contest after Seattle SuperSonics All-Star Shawn Kemp withdrew from the event.<\/p>\n This is a report filed by the late Doug Miller in 1993 that summarized the 1993 All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City.The city will experience it again in 2023. @KSL5TV<\/a> @kslsports<\/a> #take notes<\/a> #Utah Jazz<\/a> #NBA All-Star 2023<\/a> #NBA<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/k5cjaQOeSv<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jeremiah Jensen (@JJSportsBeat) October 23, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n But the All-Star Game itself couldn’t be more for state fans.<\/p>\n Jazz legend Karl Malone led the Western Conference All-Stars with 28 points and 10 rebounds on 11-of-17 shooting.<\/p>\n John Stockton added a game-high 15 assists for 9 points as he and Malone were named joint MVPs of the game.<\/p>\nRELATED: Delta Centersets Back in July<\/em><\/h3>\n
