Kobe Bryant was seen enjoying his All-Star game. He couldn’t stop smirking throughout the All-Star’s final game. Kobe enjoyed the evening as so the fans did and it served as a farewell for many others.

In the game LeBron James was guarding Kobe Bryant, watching the same fans were quite hyped and the atmosphere in the arena was crazy. LeBron James scored only 13 points and 7 assists while Kobe scored 10 following 6 rebounds and 7 assists. The stats are not that good to mirror the play in the game they both had but in actually witnessing the game would have been told us how great of the players they were.

To the end of the game Kobe’s supporters and other players also congratulated him following his farewell. And in the arena soon later a tribute video was played where it highlighted the Mamba’s whole career.

When the video was finished the former Laker Magic Johnson declared “There will never be another Kobe Bryant. Can all of us get on our feet and let him hear it one more time? Kobe Bryant!”

Bryant following the speech from Johnson gave him a hug and took the microphone to share some words with the fans. He said

“I had a blast playing with those guys, laughing and joking with them on the bench, and I got a chance to stop Pau (Gasol) in a post, redeem myself from what he did to me when Chicago came to town. But all those things are just fun. I had a great time. I had a great, great time.”

Witnessing this the fans went mad and started cheering “ Ko-be! Ko-be!”
