                               RESOLUTION

 
 Recognizing the National Basketball Association's (NBA) All-Star Game 
                    in the Greater Dallas Metroplex.

Whereas the National Basketball Association (NBA) All-Star brings together the 
        very best professional basketball players in the Nation for 48 minutes 
        of intense competition and sterling athletic achievements;
Whereas the annual All-Star Game is one of the highlights of the NBA season and 
        a major sports event of the year;
Whereas the game annually is played on the home court of one of the NBA member 
        teams and is a sought-after event by the teams and the cities they 
        represent;
Whereas the Dallas Mavericks play their home games at American Airlines Center 
        in Dallas, Texas, and are the host team for 2010 NBA All-Star Game, to 
        be played on Sunday Afternoon, February 14, 2010;
Whereas this is the 2010 NBA All-Star Game, an exhibition basketball game that 
        will be played on February 14, 2010, at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, 
        Texas, home of the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys;
Whereas this is the first time the Greater Dallas Metroplex area has had the 
        distinction of where All-Star events are split between two venues since 
        1989;
Whereas this will be the first All-Star Game to be played in a football stadium 
        since 1996, when San Antonio's Alamodome hosted the event; and
Whereas the weekend of the All-Star Game has been declared NBA All-Star Weekend 
        in the Greater Metroplex region, in recognition of the area's role in 
        this year's All-Star competition: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the National Basketball Association's (NBA) 
        All-Star Game in the Greater Dallas Metroplex, the 2010 All-
        Stars, and all those associated with the All-Star events; and
            (2) express its hope that the 59th annual All-Star Game 
        will be the most exciting and successful in the history of the 
        event.
                                 <all>
