The 1998 NBA All-Star Game was the 48th edition of the National Basketball Association (NBA) All-Star Game. The event was held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, home of the New York Knicks. This was the fourth time that New York City hosted the All-Star Game; the first three were in 1954, 1955, and 1968, at the previous Madison Square Garden. The current arena was originally selected to host the game in 1968, but it was moved to the older arena due to construction delays.
The East won the game 135–114. Michael Jordan was named as the game's Most Valuable Player. Besides the NBA All-Star game, there were two other events that occurred in the All-Star Weekend including the Rookies Game and the Three-Point Shootout.
