It may have been Kobe Bryant’s final All-Star Game but it was a player that looked up to him growing up that had one of the best All-Star Games in NBA history.
Paul George was on fire from the moment the game started as he scored 41 points on 16 of 26 shooting, including 9 of 19 from 3-point range in the Eastern’s 193-172 loss to the Western Conference. That’s a very efficient 61.5% field goal percentage, and 47.4% from beyond the arc. He also had 5 rebounds, an assist and a steal in the game as well.
