Only a select few athletes can talk about playing in front of a record crowd. Since participating in the 2010 All-Star Game, the legendary LeBron James has been part of this exclusive group. While ‘King James’ is certainly no stranger to breaking records, being involved in this historic moment truly stood out for the reigning MVP.
“To be in front of 108,000 fans, that was actually what it was; that was not a false number. You could look up in the stands, and there was not a seat open. To be part of history is something that you always wish and dream for, ” remarked Bron, per the Seattle Times.
Texas-sized spectacle
The saying “Everything is bigger in Texas” certainly rang true during the 2010 All-Star Game, which set the record for the highest attendance at a basketball game ever. Mark Cuban and Jerry Jones, the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Cowboys owners at the time, respectively, had the initial idea behind this impressive spectacle.
“When he (Cuban) said we can do this, I immediately brought in,” commented Jones, who still owns the NFL franchise.
