2010 All-Star Game

The East and West All-Stars collide in front of the world record crowd of 108,713 in the magnificent and extremely large stadium of the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas. The Dallas Cowboy’s stadium also exhibits the spectacular game in their gigantic 160 x 72 foot video screens. Just like what Mavs’ Dirk Nowitzki said, “Everything is bigger in Texas.” The futuristic location was not only the amazing part of it but the game itself, as the East defeats the West in dramatic fashion 141-139.

The 2010 All-Star is a great achievement in basketball and sports. The minds behind the marvelous game were Jerry Jones owner of Dallas Cowboys and Mark Cuban owner of the Dallas Mavericks. "It's a remarkable milestone and a testament to the popularity of our players, to Jerry Jones' tenacity and vision and to Mark Cuban's imagination," said NBA Commissioner David Stern.

The game showcased the tremendous talents of the players. In the first half they played easily and showcased their offensive skill. You can see Dwight Howard releasing from beyond the arc which you won’t normally see in their regular game and many alley-hoop dunks. But as the game goes into the second half it becomes defensively tight. They played as if it’s a play-off game.

Dwayne Wade won the MVP Honors as he led all scorers with 28 points (12 of 16 shooting), dish out 11 assists and sneak in five steals. Lebron James helps Wade as he registered 25 points, six assists and five rebounds. On the losing team, Carmelo Anthony leads the West with 27 points and 10 rebounds.
