Kicks: adidas The Kobe II (Bryant)/Air Jordan 17 Low “Lightning” (Jordan)
Points: 31 to 8 in favor of Bryant
Win: West (Bryant)

In a return to his hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Kobe Bryant would match Michael Jordan’s All-Star MVP of year’s prior, as Bryant’s stellar 31 point outing in the adidas The Kobe Two helped the guard secure MVP honors. While Michael Jordan was the second leading vote getter in the East, the Wizards guard was only able to score 8 points in the Air Jordan 17.
