Russell Westbrook named All-Star Game MVP for second straight year

Once again, Russell Westbrook stole the All-Star show.

While much of the spotlight was on Kobe Bryant's farewell and Paul George chasing Wilt Chamberlain's All-Star record, falling one point short, Westbrook again walked off with the MVP.

Westbrook is the first outright repeat winner of the All-Star game MVP honors. He is the first player to win in consecutive seasons since Bob Pettit shared MVP with Elgin Baylor in 1959 a year after he was selected.

"Any time you can be able to be in the history books, it always means something to me, man," Westbrook said.
