Fans certainly came out in droves to see their former hero, Kenny Smith

WTF is this lol, the league is never going to Houston again. This is not reminiscent of when Yao and Jordan were here. This is a solid crowd of 3000. :lol:

I agree, it should always be in LA worse case scenario, goodness gracious.

The All Star Game was in Dallas last year and was in Houston a few short years before that. There is no reason for them to keep coming back into Texas so frequentl

i would love the all star even to be in NY. Would be nice if they did it at barclays next yr, but i doubt it. For the past 10 years, they only did all star events in warm/hot weather cities.

Houston's home crowd hasn't been the best recently

This year, the average price for a ticket to the NBA All-Star Game is $1,485, which is an 88 percent increase from 2012 ($788). So if you want to see big names like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant play in person, you’re better off doing that at their respective teams’ games.

That intro video with Macklemore was nice

Yeah, I'm guessing Houston won't be hosting another All-Star Game. This is embarrassing.

Which is more dead?

Houston's crowd the past two nights or the Slam Dunk Competition the past 15 years?

It's going to be in New Orleans next year.

The Knicks and Nets have submitted bids to host in 2015.
