20 years ago, the 2004 NBA All-Star Game was held on February 15, 2004 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The leading vote getter for the West was the Timberwolves' Kevin Garnett with 1,780, 918 votes, but it was Shaquille O'Neal who, as he had done four years prior, earned All-Star Game MVP honors. Donning the white West uniform, Shaq finished the game with 24 points and 11 rebounds as his squad defeated the East, 136 - 132.
