Kobe was real serious about winning this NBA All-Star MVP trophy, that was evident from the first minute in a game. While the East was doing the “Powder Toss” and Kobe was focused on winning the game.
Nothing said that more than Bean not allowing Lebron to stalk him down and block his dunk.
Lebron once he started to take the game seriously, almost single-handily brought the East back, but came up a little short (passed up a Wide Open 3 that could have cut the lead to one, I know shocking).
Once Kobe Bryant ran out of gassed, Kevin Durant took over and helped the West hold on in a very entertaining game.
Can’t wait for the playoffs, a lot of plot lines and no clear cut favorite, that always make things interesting.
