Although Kobe Bryant has gone to another world, the wonderful moments he left on the NBA stage have always remained in the hearts of many fans. Kobe held 19 All-Star Games in his 20-year NBA career. Kobe was selected 18 times and was selected as the starter. Kobe participated in 15 of them. Which of Kobe's 15 All-Star Tours in his NBA career is more memorable?
1998, Kobe, who was under 20 years old, was a second-year student who played as a substitute, but was selected as the All-Star starter. In his first All-Star Game in his career, Kobe scored the highest 18 points against his idol Michael Jordan in 22 minutes of playing time. In that All-Star Game, Kobe played together with four Lakers players, Shake O'Neal, Eddie Jones and Van Exel. It is also the only time that four players have participated in the All-Star Game in the history of the Lakers.
Kobe won the first MVP trophy in his NBA career at the 2002 All-Star Game. In the 2002 All-Star Game, Kobe fully demonstrated his scoring ability. In the game where no other player in the team scored more than 18 points and the opponent scored less than 8 points, he scored 31 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists without any mistakes. It is worth mentioning that Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson, who started in that All-Star Game, only scored 13 points in total.
In the summer of 2004, "Sharks Go East", Kobe led the Lakers alone. In the regular season, Kobe, who fully demonstrated his scoring talent, no longer had a great desire to perform on the All-Star stage. Until 2008, Kobe led the Lakers to the top of the world, Kobe also regained his motivation in the All-Star Game.
In 2009, Kobe won the third All-Star MVP trophy in his personal NBA career. Kobe made 12 of 23 shots in the 2009 All-Star Game, including 3 of 8 three-pointers, scored 27 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals. When neither team scored more than 20 points, Kobe deserved to lift the MVP trophy. He shared the 2009 All-Star MVP with Shake O'Neal, who played 11 minutes and scored 17 points in the substitute, which is a sign that they have let go of their past grudges and is still unforgettable.
Kobe set several highest records in the 2011 All-Star Game. In the 2011 All-Star Game, the Lakers, who have won two consecutive championships, are launching an attack on another "three consecutive championships". Kobe has full firepower in the All-Star Game, scoring 37 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. The score and rebounds are the highest in the game, and it also sets the highest record in Kobe's NBA career All-Star Game. In the end, Kobe won the fourth All-Star MVP trophy in his NBA career, tying the highest record in the NBA history.
Kobe's serious attitude towards the game is a clear stream in the NBA All-Star Game. The matchup with many stars in the All-Star Game is unforgettable. Jordan, Iverson, O'Neal, James and others have all been at a disadvantage in front of Kobe. However, what I remember more is Kobe's resentment with O'Neal at the 2009 All-Star Game. This is a sign of his turn to maturity and the starting point for Kobe to win the FMVP again.
