RECORD CROWD TO WATCH NBA ALL-STAR GAME

Sunday's NBA All-Star Game drew a crowd of 108,713 fans at Cowboys Stadium to set a new basketball record. That figure was announced by Mavericks owner Mark Cuban at midcourt. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Cuban knew they'd shatter the world record for attendance at a basketball game when they partnered up to bring the All-Star Game to the new $1.2 billion stadium. They set their sights on six figures. NBA officials expressed doubts, which is why Jones and Cuban were giddy with the official number. The previous record crowd for a basketball game was 78,129, set when Michigan State played Kentucky at Detroit's Ford Field on Dec. 13, 2003.
