LOS ANGELES 1963. EAST 115 - WEST 108
This edition had the first big All-Star duel between two of the best centers in the NBA history, Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain.Bill won in points (19-17) and rebounds (24-19), and his team won too. He was specially decisive in the fourth quarter.
The best scorers were Oscar Robertson and Bob Pettit.
The rosters were planned to include 11 players, but Terry Dischinger
and Tom Meschery were tied in the Western coaches voting (coaches
pick the last 3 players) and both were invited. Besides, Fred Schaus
decided to start the game with pivot Walt Bellamy instead of guard Guy
Rodgers to form a really big line-up. It was the first time a coach decided
to change the starting determined by the sportwriters
voting.
MVP: Bill Russell (East)
