It's just the latest tribute in a line of All-Star Weekend moves to honor the former Los Angeles Lakers icon. From patches on the jerseys to renaming the All-Star Game MVP, the entire event feels like one massive way to pay homage to him.
And it's absolutely perfect. Nothing is more fitting than having the best of the best in the league right now playing in the name of Bryant.
Never forget when LeBron tried to chasedown Kobe in the All-Star Game, Kobe still dunked it and then told him nice try. ?
