And all this time you thought guys didn’t give it their all in the all-star games. After staging a dunk contest in the first half, the intensity picked up significantly in the second half. To the point where Dwyane Wade fouled Kobe so hard that he broke his nose. All good for Kobe, as the West won and he passed Jordan for most all-star points in history.
Kobe Bryant added another milestone to his career Sunday as he passed Michael Jordan to become the all-time-leading NBA All-Star game scorer.
But did it come at a price?
Bryant skipped a postgame media session after his 27-point performance, and was taken for further evaluation after he said he was “experiencing headaches.” The Lakers announced later that Bryant had suffered a nasal fracture and would be reevaluated Monday after he returned to Los Angeles by an ear, nose and throat specialist.
