Number 3: Kobe Bryant’s Final All-Star Game in 2016

The legendary Lakers guard hung up the sneakers in 2016 and got to participate in the All-Star game in his final year.

All eyes were on Kobe all weekend and all game. He was in the middle of his farewell tour, and all players, young and old, wanted to pay tribute to him. LeBron James was especially smitten with Kobe, smiling when playing defense against him in the now famous picture. The two even had a great moment with the late Craig Sager during the halftime interview.

Needless to say, I’m sure all Lakers fans miss him, which means this All-Star game will always be remembered.
