NBA Highlights
In 1995, Rice won the NBA All-Star Long Distance Shootout at the 1995 All-Star game in Phoenix, edging out another sharp-shooter Reggie Miller.
Rice was named MVP of the 1997 All-Star game, which was commemorating the 50th anniversary of NBA. In the game, he set individual All-Star game records of 20 points in the third quarter and 24 points in the second half. Rice's record-breaking period consisted of 8-of-11 field goals, including four three pointers in just five tries. Rice’s 20 points in the period broke Philadelphia guard Hal Greer’s record (19), set in 1968. By scoring 24 in a half, Rice surpassed the previous mark of 23, owned by Wilt Chamberlain and Tom Chambers. Rice's performance is listed on the NBA's 57 Memorable All-Star Moments.
