The 60th NBA All-Star game Sunday earned its highest television rating since Michael Jordan's last appearance in 2003.

The Western Conference's 148-143 win drew a 5.2 rating, up 37% from last year. The ratings measure the percentage of all homes with televisions tuned into a program.

Lakers guard Kobe Bryant led the fast-paced star-studded show with 37 points and claimed his fourth All-Star most-valuable-player award.
