A look at the best moments and plays from Kobe Bryant in his final NBA All-Star Game

Kobe Bryant took the floor for his final NBA All-Star Game on Sunday night as he was the top vote-getter in the entire NBA and was named a starter for the Western Conference and got set to take the floor in Toronto.

Bryant and the West were able to secure in victory in Kobe’s last All-Star Game appearance with the Los Angeles Lakers legend adding 10 points, seven assists, and six rebounds to the cause.

However, Kobe fell short of winning his record fifth All-Star MVP as that honor went to Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder. That being said, there were plenty of moments from throughout the night that were far more memorable and exciting for Bryant and for fans than an All-Star MVP award.

Those moments started before the game when the NBA held a ceremony for Bryant and allowed him to say a few words prior to tip-off. Once that was over, though, it was on Kobe’s shoulders to provide the great moments. Of course, he delivered.

Here’s a look at some of the best Kobe Bryant moments from the 2016 NBA All-Star Game itself:

Lakers fans have to have a special place in their hearts for Kobe and Pau Gasol once again being on the court together and being able to have some fun. However, Kobe might want to not get ripped by elementary school kids anymore—that’s not great for his legacy.
