The NBA has announced a series of changes to the format of this year's All-Star Game to pay tribute to the late Kobe Bryant. Former Los Angeles Lakers star Bryant, 41, and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna were among nine people killed in a helicopter crash in California last Sunday. The All-Star Game, which is due to take place in Chicago on February 16 featuring 24 of the NBA's best players, will now be played with a new scoring system.
