As the All-Star game makes its trip to Chicago the entire game will have a whole new look due to the passing of legend Kobe Bryant. The teams wore #24 and #2 to pay respects to Kobe and Gianna Bryant, as well as at the end of the 3^rd quarter the team with the most points would have 24 points added to that number to create a target score for the teams to reach to win. Another new major rule change I thought contributed to a better overall performance from players was the prize money for the winning team. 

            Onto the actual game the first quarter was heavily dominated by Team LeBron with their dominating offensive stars of Anthony Davis, LeBron James, and Kawhi Leonard. Team Giannis would need to get better shots off to have a chance to take the lead away from Team LeBron in the second quarter. As the starters were replaced with bench players Giannis took the game into his hands by going off for his team to now take the lead heading into halftime. 

            With the third quarter beginning Team LeBron needed to find a way to stop the dominate force of Giannis. With him out of the game getting some rest guard Chris Paul took advantage of this by flooding the lane using his mix of handles. Team LeBron unfortunately was still down after a hard fought third quarter. Little did anyone know we were in for a great game finally. 

            The fourth quarter of this game was one of the greatest quarters in All-Star game history the amount of effort players played with was unseen. Team LeBron completed the comeback finally making the game so close with it down to just a free throw from Anthony Davis to seal the deal. Of course, he missed the first one, but he finished the game off right with a final free throw to give Team LeBron the victory. Winning the MVP was Kawhi Leonard with his impressive rain of 3pointers and fabulous defense.
