The All Star game was held in Arlington, Texas at the Cowboys stadium. There was a record number of spectators at the game with 108,713 people attending. LeBron James, David Lee, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Garnett and Dwight Howard started for the east and Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Carmelo Anthony, Tim Duncan and Amar’e Stoudemire started for the west. Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, and Brandon Roy were supposed to play but couldn't because of injuries and personal reasons. The Eastern All-Stars won the game 141-139 and Dwyane Wade was the MVP. Dwyane Wade had 28 points, 11 assists, and 5 steals. Some of the bigger highlights were Dwight Howard's 3 pointer, there was plenty of dunks and ally oops, but there wasn't any really great plays. Lebron had a reverse two handed ally-oop from Dwyane Wade and Dwyane Wade ally-ooped Dwight Howard for a huge slam dunk. On All-Star Saturday Nate Robinson won the slam dunk contest, Paul Pierce won the three point shootout, Steve Nash won the skills challenge, and Kevin Durant won the horse competition.
