The game was telecast live by CBS. The rosters were full of talented forwards: the forward position was the most represented among the top ranked recruits of the 1991 class. Only Cory Alexander and Donyell Marshall were still undecided about their college choice. 4 All-Americans of the West team had committed to Michigan and went on to be part of the so-called Fab Five: Howard, King, Rose and Webber. Chris Webber also won the MVP award, along with Rick Brunson. While Brunson showcased his all-around skills by recording 19 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Webber was instrumental in the West comeback in the second half, and gave his team the victory with a slam dunk with 6 seconds left on the game clock. Webber ended the game with 28 points and 12 rebounds. Other players who starred were Glenn Robinson (20 points/8 rebounds), James Forrest (22 and 10), Don Williams (20 points) and Juwan Howard (16). Of the 20 players, 15 went on to play at least 1 game in the NBA.
