Kobe Bryant brought his NBA finals focus to the All-Star game.
And just like June, he walked off his home floor with the MVP trophy in his hands.
Shining brightest again among the stars, Bryant brought Showtime back to the All-Star game, scoring 37 points and tying a record with his fourth MVP award in the Western Conference's 148-143 victory over the East on Sunday night.
"I feel like we have a sense of responsibility and we are voted in for what we do during the season, which is play hard," Bryant said. "And we come here, that's what the fans want to see. They want to see us go at it and see us compete and that's what I try to do and that's what I try to tell my teammates to do."
