The 1957 NBA All Star Game was the seventh NBA All-Star Game. With the score 43–39 in favor of the West and with time running out in the first half, the East's Bill Sharman attempted to throw a long pass to Bob Cousy. Instead, the play resulted in him making a remarkable {{convert|70|ft|m|adj=on}} shot to end the first half.
