so many different records the first record that he owns he's the first player ever to accumulate 30 million votes and his 18 all-star appearances ranking him number one all-time Kobe Bryant is the leading scorer in all-star history he's made more field goals than anybody else in all-star history and also he's made more steals than any player in all-star history he has blessed all of us with five NBA championships in his Laker career and I was blessed to see all of those five and be a part of them so before we bring him out to say a few words we're gonna roll the tape and marvel at some of his talents welcome to the Kobe show take two tom has wings you know even when you realize that you need to appreciate the time still goes by fast I am a 17 year old kid at the same time now it's time to go in there it's time to do some work good is this kid best part of basketball so many things when you win you don't want to let that go so it doesn't turn off the work it doesn't turn off the competitive spirit it turns it up like the first NBA championship you don't want that to go away we went again I'd always known that this window is going to come we've seen Kobe Bryant Kobe the road has come to an end you've been an unbelievable mentor to me thank you for everything you've done for this league cuz you the reason why I play so hard it's not a lot of guys who come around like Cole the game is gonna miss you I'm just proud to be a friend be a brother Kobe you did all you could for the game and being a champion forever a walking legend man we appreciate you Kobe Bing salute my brother when the ink comes I'm fine with that then you take on that challenge right Brian leaving the floor in a standing ovation here Kobe though there would never be another Kobe Bryant get all of us get on our feet and let him here one more time Kobe brave huh I'm not I I just want to want to thank you guys for all of your support for all these years and I've just been extremely fortunate to be able to play the game that I love and being the NBA for more than half my life and it's a thrill for me to be here in this all-star game so thank you for voting me in and I get a chance to be around these young players here who when I first started playing most of them were my kids age now so it feels so good to be able to speak to them about the game and to be able to share some of the knowledge that I've learned throughout my career to them and so that they can carry on the tradition of the NBA and hopefully play 20 years themselves so thank you so much and now I got to go get loose thank you I respect him I love him for what he has done 20 years at the shooting composition night in and night out to get up to play this game it's very difficult I hate him because he denied me that ultimate goal in 2000 of winning a championship along with Shaquille O'Neal and I respect him very much what he said when he was addressing this crowd that these young guys and the guys the young guys on his Lakers team to give back give that knowledge back that's what keeps this game going at such a high level because of the professionalism and the mannerism of a guy like a Kobe Bryant last season and the game at Madison Square Garden in New York West beat the east 163 158 321 total points in all-star game record Russell Westbrook with 41 points one shy of the all-time record set up by Wilt Chamberlain and Kobe Bryant schastye with Hall of Famer Bill Russell and he will go as a mention on the opening chip in just a moment the officiating crew Danny Crawford in his 31st season in the NBA third all-star game is that zaba 15 season Matt : in number 14 and here comes Kobe so we are ready to go it'll be right against James on the opening tip oh man where's my camera let me get a picture of this will be whimpering up and getting services this guy is going against LeBron and the sixty-fifth at the all-star game is is underway the rattles ice hockey pass to set it up from abroad James everybody in Miami is saying hey we used to see that every night in regular basis he make demar derozan both making the all-star team here's Paul George from the Indiana Pacers every player gets nervous before the all-star game even Kobe with the second record appearances are consecutive as you see the dunk right there by Durant in his first game of Michael Jordan sitting over there looking talking mimicking emergency Kobe goes to the hole how many players are doing that to him all-star game on ago is a rare foul not too many whistles in all-star play Westbrook powers at home Russell Westbrook will put up 41 points last season and took MVP honors once again pass on the bounce full of Ron Lauren with the lead reverse I'm going to be all on your shoulder the know you already born this is a continuation of the 30 hunt tested some ice after this game post Popovich's of winners curry shows us he has to be dramatic with everything he gives us his show and has his chili before his buck first bucket goes in so we gotta go do the intro so see what my mind I come back out okay we'll go pick up on that stage over there while you take the ball with you look I told him I said you know what this means this means that when I leave now he's over spaceman hey what a whole deck centers that second behind Myers linen to the f65 for Portland here's Kobe Bryant back on before and once again gets the favorable huh why not against Bryant all Mountain shot by LeBron for 327 points it's a career-high fourth in the NBA plus 11 rebounds and three now with five points now it's got to be something special for you to see your friend he's your shipment friend you Kobe Bryant in his last all-star game it's a Jewish doctor to me to be here and be a part of this moment and probably had an incredible career in this is an event that he's just had so much fun in and dominated through the year so so great tribute to me he told us before the game so Craig Sager he doesn't want anybody to do anything special for him to get MVP but he won't say anything I'm sure you would love to I'm sure he would love to I and you know we might say we'll say you'll see if you can get it you gotta get a few more shots he's not being overly aggressive so far George I was at Teddy told Anthony was going to cut West Little Feat just steps away this protects to the room and Team USA slapping the board here against the Mamba Kobe Bryant and then the Patton fade away against Carmelo but how about air the one with the AL you its 174 the old record 165 done on two occasions here's Bryan to the bucket so Cody with 10 points felt each other as if Paul George blazing home think about this coming into this officer game he was 17 of 38 from 25 feet 45% and it's Paul George of the Pacer is once again and of course much time in Charlotte because that for those Butler's went down Clayton's provo John Wall takes to the remix of look so letís jump nepotism Brian picks up the assist right well the other year purple rant all-star record curry from deep Durant Brian and Durant his Westbrook fruit off the backboard and try to field it so the only question here is whether Paul George will break Wilt Chamberlain's record or now the ovation for Kobe Bryant who is being substituted for and a big hug all around by both teams Ramos little bit for Kobe then a well-deserved moment one of many for the Mambo yes the farewell tour continues and the stat line ten point six rebounds 7 assists he shot four of eleven e and one three and he's hearing the chant we were also told for the East is aware that Paul George has 41 and what the record is so what does great Popovich do to preserve history inserts draymond Green to Gore Paul George with the anchor in the back in Anthony Davis first and that will do it the west and a record-breaking performance for all-star play to fix these 196 to 173 Kobe Bryant's final all-star game we'll take a quick timeout will be back to recap in a few moments but after this break Commissioner Adam Silver
