When the Astrodome hosted Michael Jordan, 1989 NBA All-Stars

“The Last Dance” – ESPN’s 10-part documentary on Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls – showed footage of Jordan dunking in the 1989 NBA All-Star Game at the Astrodome.

It was Houston’s first NBA All-Star Game – the city has gone on to host two more at Toyota Center – and the city set a league attendance record when 44,735 fans showed up for the party.
