Every event of the 2020 NBA All-Star weekend was blanketed with melancholy air. Seemingly every show, contest and person associated with basketball’s most star-studded weekend paid homage to the late Kobe Bryant, as well as his daughter Gianna.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s still very fresh in people\u2019s minds and in people\u2019s hearts, so he definitely has a big presence here,\u201d said first-time All-Star Jayson Tatum, who idolized Bryant and had been training with him in recent years. \u201cThere\u2019s so many Kobe jerseys here and tributes, as there should be.\u201d<\/p>\n

On January 26, the heartbreaking news that Kobe, 13-year-old Gigi, and seven others died in a helicopter crash sent people all over the planet into shock and mourning. Just three weeks later, the basketball world gathered in Chicago to compete on a stage where Bryant had long shined brightest: the NBA All-Star weekend.<\/p>\n

Even though the Lakers legend is no longer here, there was no question that this weekend was all about Kobe. His larger-than-life presence inspired countless tributes and invoked the sharing of memories and stories about him throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Before the All-Star festivities could even officially begin, a massive canvas mural honoring Bryant was erected on the set of ESPN\u2019s First Take and The Jump. NBA legends like Dwyane Wade, Isiah Thomas, and Scottie Pippen wrote messages to the fallen superstar on it, along with countless other players, media members, and fans.<\/p>\n

A night later, Bryant\u2019s former teammate Pau Gasol and WNBA legend Sue Bird shared a touching tribute with the United Center crowd before the Rising Stars Game in which they spoke about his impact on the game of basketball. The thousands in attendance responded with a thunderous \u201cKobe\u201d chant.<\/p>\n

Even the usually lighthearted and comical Celebrity All-Star Game shared a 24-second moment of remembrance for Bryant prior to tip-off, which concluded in another resounding \u201cKobe\u201d chant.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s announcement of Bryant as a Hall of Fame finalist was somehow almost lost in the fray, possibly as a result of NBA commissioner Adam Silver delivering the monumental news that the All-Star Game MVP Award would be renamed the Kobe Bryant MVP Award at his Saturday press conference. Silver spoke about the transformative careers of both Bryant and former NBA commissioner David Stern, who passed away on New Year\u2019s Day, as well as the decision to honor Bryant’s legacy through renaming the award.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NBA wouldn’t be where it is today but for Kobe… Nobody embodied All-Star more than Kobe Bryant,\u201d Silver said.<\/p>\n

On Sunday morning, Hall of Famers and NBA stars from all generations took their turn honoring Kobe at the annual NBA Legends Brunch. Fellow Lakers legend Magic Johnson was one of many who took the stage to speak about Bryant\u2019s legacy. He began by leading the 3,000-plus people in attendance with a prayer and had everyone put a hand up in an \u201cL\u201d sign in honor of Bryant, who played his entire 20-year career with the Lakers.<\/p>\n

Nearly tearing up at one point, Johnson recalled a phone call he received from Jerry West more than 20 years ago. On the call, West told Johnson he just watched the best prospect workout he had ever seen, and that the Lakers needed to go get this guy named Kobe Bryant. Johnson also reminisced on how Bryant seemed to enjoy life after basketball and the time with his family even more than he did winning those five NBA championships during his career.<\/p>\n

The ovation Bryant received from the crowd, which consisted of retired NBA players, team executives and fans of all ages, illustrated the positive effect he had on people from all different generations and on the game as a whole. \u201cHis impact on the game of basketball was immeasurable, as was his impact on the world,\u201d said Thurl Bailey, former Utah Jazz and Minnesota Timberwolves big man and current Jazz broadcaster.<\/p>\n

A big part of that impact Bryant had on the world outside of basketball was in the entertainment industry, where he won an Academy Award in 2018 for his animated short film \u201cDear Basketball.\u201d Bryant made himself more than just an athlete, he was a true icon who meant as much to people outside of sports as he did to those in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe accomplished so much and inspired a lot of people,\u201d said actor and comedian J.B. Smoove, who recalled Bryant\u2019s tenacity and passion both on and off the court. \u201cI saw what hard work, what dedication, and what teamwork really meant.\u201d<\/p>\n

As could be expected, the topic of Bryant\u2019s legacy and his impact on the world was a prominent conversation among this year\u2019s All-Stars as well, many of whom had formed friendships with him and still felt the pain of losing someone they considered special.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he impacted the world, not just basketball players,” 2018 league MVP James Harden said. ” There\u2019s only a handful of people that can actually do that.”<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s tough, it\u2019s hard,” Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam said, “But I think we\u2019re doing our part in terms of making sure that we keep his legacy going.”<\/p>\n

Prior to Sunday night\u2019s All-Star Game, Magic Johnson led a packed house at United Center in an eight-second moment of silence in honor of Bryant. Grammy Award-winner Jennifer Hudson then followed with a passionate tribute, belting out the song \u201cFor All We Know (We May Meet Again)\u201d in front of a photo montage of Kobe and Gigi. Hudson\u2019s beautiful rendition sent a tidal wave of emotion crashing over the arena and the players, many of whom shared the court with Kobe just a few years ago at his final All-Star game in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was emotional, man. I started tearing up a little bit, just because it\u2019s like, unreal that Kobe\u2019s not here anymore,\u201d Harden said.<\/p>\n

In addition to the new All-Star Game format, which included an homage to Bryant by adding 24 points to the leading teams score after three quarters to set the target score to win, Harden and his teammates on Team LeBron all proudly donned Gigi\u2019s No. 2 on their jerseys, while the opposing Team Giannis wore Kobe\u2019s No. 24.<\/p>\n

But staying true to the Mamba mentality, the sting of their recent loss did not stop the NBA\u2019s finest from coming out and competing with a fire that would have made Bryant proud. This fire that the athletes displayed was only fitting, given Kobe\u2019s history as an 18-time All-Star, four-time All-Star game MVP and Slam Dunk Contest champion.<\/p>\n

Both teams significantly upped their intensity as the game reached the fourth quarter. The chain of recent apathetic All-Star Games was shattered, as a competitive spirit almost akin to a playoff game came to life on the court. There were charges, coaches\u2019 challenges, strategic timeouts and genuine defense, all things normally unheard of in an All-Star Game. You could see it on their faces, these men were playing for something more than themselves. They were playing for Kobe.<\/p>\n

It was only fitting that a Laker would make the final shot, as Anthony Davis sank a free throw to secure a 157-155 victory for Team LeBron.<\/p>\n

After the game, Harden reflected on the weekend and spoke about how Kobe would have appreciated the heightened intensity of this year\u2019s contest. \u201cHe\u2019d love that, that\u2019s the competitive dog he was,\u201d Harden said. \u201cHe was a competitive beast. I think all of us were playing for that, to go out there and play for Kobe.\u201d<\/p>\n
