All-Star weekend, as expected, was about honoring Kobe

Jennifer Hudson, wearing the Lakers' deep purple, performed a pregame tribute to Bryant and sang "For All We Know." Players on James' team wore Gianna Bryant's No. 2 on their jerseys and players on Antetokounmpo's team wore Kobe's No. 24 on theirs. And all players wore a patch with nine stars, one for each victim of the crash.
