NEW YORK 1955. WEST 91 - EAST 100
Go to: Ballot results
New York repeated All Star. This edition was based in the exhibition of two Celtics players.Bob Cousy was the best scorer with 20 points, but the MVP was Bill Sharman, who scored 10 points in the last quarter. Ironically, East coach Al Cervi ordered Dick McGuire to substitute Sharman early in the fourth quarter. The game was very close, with 16 lead changes in minutes, but that substitution never happened. Sharman found a "hot hand" and scored 5 baskets in a matter of minutes.
Before the game, players met behind closed doors to complete the organization of their newly formed players representative council.
Andrews Air Force Base team of Washington defeated the Armed Forces All-Stars 84-75 in a preliminary game. Cliff Hagan, a future 5 times NBA All-Star Game selection, played for the winners.MVP: Bill Sharman (East)
