1987 CBA All-Star Game

The 1987 Continental Basketball Association All-Star Game was the 25th All-Star Game organised by CBA since its inception in 1949. It was held at the 6,000-seat La Crosse Center in La Crosse, Wisconsin on February 2, 1987, in front of a sell-out crowd. The hosts La Crosse Catbirds were defeated by the CBA All-Stars 102–105.^[1]

Eddie Johnson was named the MVP.

The All-Star Game coincided with CBA's best season ever in attendances (up to then) with Catbirds averaging almost 4,700 fans in the 1986-87 season.^[2][3] The game was televised by ESPN.

There were no slam-dunk or shoot events.

Catbirds did not have center Cozell McQueen at their disposal as he had moved to France in January 1987. Eddie Johnson of the CBA All-Stars was the top scorer of the match with 22 pts.
