The 2020 NBA All-Star Game was a real hoot. The new format worked — the quarters got progressively more dramatic, culminating in a fourth quarter for the ages. Team Giannis held a nine-point lead when the final frame began, but it was Team LeBron who emerged victorious on a game-winning free throw from Anthony Davis.
In the end, $100,000 goes to Giannis’ charity, while LeBron’s charity goes home with $400,000 — a significant sum that will do a lot of good in the Chicago community. Kawhi Leonard won the first annual Kobe Bryant All-Star MVP trophy, an undoubtedly meaningful accomplishment for the league’s most stoic superstar.
