West All-Star guard Stephen Curry, a starter alongside Bryant, is excited about being “a part of history.”
“He pushed everyone to try to elevate their game going after what he was trying to accomplish. He’s left a mark. To be in the same [starting lineup] as he rides off into the All-Star sunset will be a fun moment that I will remember for a long time.”
East All-Star LeBron James said he grew up in Akron, Ohio, idolizing Bryant. For West All-Star Russell Westbrook, it hits much closer to home.
Russell Westbrook grew up watching Kobe and the Lakers. (AP)“I grew up in L.A. watching the Lakers on KCAL-9,” Westbrook told Yahoo Sports. “That was definitely the channel I had watching the Lakers. I’m a big fan of Kobe. He was somebody I look up to and see all the great things he’s done.
“That was definitely a big moment for myself as a player growing up in Los Angeles and being able to play against a guy I saw growing up on T.V. It was definitely a big battle. I just tried to take on the challenge and be fearless.”
Bryant is the All-Star Game’s all-time leading scorer with 280 points. West All-Star forward Anthony Davis wouldn’t mind seeing him add on to that total.
“I am going to try to get him the ball every time,” Davis told Yahoo Sports. “Last All-Star Game, I want him to score 50. He might not have the legs. He might not play as much. But when he is in the game, I’m going to look for him. He’s a phenomenal player.”

Magic likes s, produces gay sons but the man was a legend on the court. That's one example.
No one denies Kobe wasn't the post Jordan face of the league till LeBron and now curry. Shaq was too.goofy. Duncan too quiet. But Kobe, love loves publicity and stern loved Kobe.
No, the problem with Kobe is he didn't leave the stage when the prompter said so. Now, these players are not just gonna cite Kobe for their best nastiest moves, but also their air balls, skunkers, bags, rape trials, brick records, teammate backstabbing.
