The NBA has renamed its All-Star Game MVP trophy after Kobe Bryant who died last month.
It would now be known as the Kobe Bryant All-Star Game MVP Award.
Adam Silver, the NBA’s Commissioner, unveiled the newly-minted trophy at his annual All-Star weekend news conference in Chicago.
Bryant made 18 consecutive All-Star Games from 1998 to 2016, and won the game’s MVP four times – in 2002, 2007, 2009 and 2011.
