The West national team led by LeBron James won the 2020 All Star Match, the NBA East West rank. The Most Valuable Player Award went to Los Angeles Clippers manager Kawhi Leonard.
LeBron James's team defeated Jannis Antetokunmpo by two points in the North American basketball All-Star game in Chicago.
The MVP title for Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash at the end of January, was earned by Kawhi Leonard, who strengthens James's team and helped the winning team by 30 points.
The gala was in full memory of Bryant: the Antetokunmpo team marched uniformly in jersey 24, while James' team marched in 2nd, honoring Gianna Bryant's jersey at the age of 13 in the tragedy.
"We've never seen a basket like Kobe Bryant," said Magic Johnson, the legendary Lakers manager at the launch ceremony.
At the start of the first three quarters, teams started from scratch and played mini-charity matches in each game section. Then, in the fourth, no-timer quarter, the job was called up based on the scores so far, and then added 24 to the leaderboard's score - Kobe Bryant's jersey number, who died at age 41. The number thus obtained became the goal of the two teams: the one who reached it first won the match.
Result:
James Team-Antetokunmpo Team 157-155
