NBA All-Star Game 2020: Kobe Bryant tributes surround game as Team Lebron beats Team Lebron

Team LeBron outscored Team Giannis by two points to claim the 69th NBA All-Star game on Sunday in Chicago with the packed-out United Center falling silent for eight seconds before tip-off in tribute to the iconic Kobe Bryant. "Kobe, Kobe, Kobe," quickly echoed around the arena for the former Los Angeles Lakers star, who wore No. 8 and No. 24 throughout an illustrious 20-year career, headlined by five NBA championships. An emotional night started with Laker legend Magic Johnson's poignant tribute to Bryant, who was a victim along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California, on 26 January.
