ARLINGTON, Texas -- Dwyane Wade was the MVP of the 2010 NBA All-Star game, as the East defeated the West by a final score of 141-139. Leading up to the big event, the stadium was the story, and continued to loom larger than life over the festivities with a world record-setting 108,713 people packed to the rooftop to watch the league's midseason showcase take place.



"Growing up, you don't even know what a hundred thousand is," LeBron James said afterward, of playing in front of such a large crowd. "You grow up, you say you're playing in front of a building at capacity, probably six or seven hundred people if you go to high school basketball games.



"Growing up, you can't even count to 100,000."



The magnitude of the game is something that could truly only be appreciated in person.
