Over 108,000 people packed into the new Cowboys Stadium to see players like LeBron James, Dwight Howard, and Kevin Durant put on a show that was badly needed for the NBA.
I'm among the many people who are surprised as too how many people showed up for the All-Star game. We're talking about almost 100,000 more people showing up for this game than any other regular season game.
You also have to take into account the even the Dallas Cowboys couldn't get a crowd this large to one of their games, and football rules in Texas. It was the largest crowd recorded in this building's short history.
The NBA has a lot to be proud of after last night.
It makes you wonder that if all NBA arenas could fit this many people, or even half, could they fill them up?
Judging from the highlights the game's best definitely put on a good show for the fans. Especially Dwyane Wade who showed off not just his scoring abilities, but also his underrated passing abilities as he dished out 11 assists. He took home All-Star MVP honors.
As of recent years the winning conference has usually produced the eventual NBA champion and this year the East took it by two, 141-139.
Once again, mad props to the NBA for putting together a great weekend of entertainment. The NBA's All-Star weekend use to be the best of any sport and it looks to be climbing back up to the top once again.
