The 1994 NBA All-Star Game was the 44th edition of the All-Star Game. The event was held in Minneapolis at Target Center, home of the Minnesota Timberwolves; the Timberwolves however, did not have any players participating in the game. ^[1] It was broadcast by NBC for the fourth consecutive year.

The 1993–94 season was Scottie Pippen's first season as the leader of the Chicago Bulls following the first retirement of Michael Jordan, and this All-Star Game turned out to be Pippen's peak shining moment, as he led the way with 29 points, 11 rebounds, and four steals en route to a 127–118 victory for his East All-Stars team while also being voted as the game's MVP. ^[2]

In this game, Kenny Anderson and Derrick Coleman became the first players in the history of the New Jersey Nets to start in an All-Star Game. ^[3]
