Kobe Bryant Complete All-Star Game History

Kobe Bryant was one of the greatest winners and most lethal scorers in the history of basketball. The All-Star game was another chance for Bryant to show off those traits, and he saved his best moments for his matchups against the best.

Let's take a look at the Mamba's complete All-Star Game history!

Kobe Bryant All-Star Game History

1998

Bryant put up 18 points and 6 rebounds in 22 minutes in his first ever taste of All-Star action. He was perhaps best remembered for going head-to-head with Michael Jordan several times in this game.

2000

Kobe was solid, if uninspiring in this game in Oakland, going 7-of-16 from the floor and scoring 15 points in what ended up a narrow win for the West. Kobe was just starting to scratch the surface of stardom and it would show in the coming years.

2001

This All-Star game came down to the wire, but Bryant's 19 points in 30 minutes weren't enough for the West to prevail in a 111-110 loss in Washington.

2002

Bryant would win the first of his four All-Star game MVPs back in his old city of Philadelphia, as his 31 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists in just 30 minutes made it clear he was the best player on the floor on that night.

2003

Kobe and MJ duked it out for the final time in Atlanta's 2003 All-Star Game. Bryant was his usual dominant self, helping the West to a win over Jordan's East by contributing 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists in what would be his last game against his idol.

2004

Kobe played a surprising 36 minutes in the 2004 matchup at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, but managed just 20 points and 4 assists, low numbers for Bryant in this game. Still, the West won, which had to give the über-competitive Kobe a nice spring in his step.

2005

Kobe wasn't on his game in the 2005 event a mile above sea level in Denver, scoring only 16 points as the West failed to overcome the East's onslaught from behind the arc in a 125-115 loss.

2006

Things didn't get much better for Kobe at the 2006 game in Houston, as the West lost for the second year in a row and Mamba only had eight points. At least he set an ASG career-high with eight assists.

2007

Las Vegas is the ultimate place to put on a show, and Bryant did not disappoint. Kobe tied his old record of 31 points while dishing out 6 assists with 6 steals. He won his second ASG MVP trophy in the process, as the West went totally through him in that game.

2008

Kobe only managed three minutes of time in New Orleans, as he was forced to leave due to a finger injury.

2009

Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal split the MVP award -- Kobe's third -- in the Phoenix edition of the All-Star Game, but it's easy to argue Kobe should have been the sole winner. Bryant dropped 27 points, while grabbing 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals in yet another victory for the West.

2010

Kobe didn't play in Dallas due to an ankle injury.

2011

The stage was set for Kobe to dominate under the bright lights of LA, and he certainly didn't disappoint. Bryant's 37 points set a new personal record that he would not break, and he propelled the West to a narrow win over the East at the Staples Center. He was awarded his fourth and final MVP award.

2012

The scene shifted to Orlando, but Bryant was once again performing at an elite level. His 27 points in 35 minutes made him one of the top scorers in another West win. In other words, business as usual.

2013

All-Star Weekend was was back in Houston, and Bryant bizarrely failed to crack 10 points, managing just nine along with eight assists.

2014

Kobe didn't play in New Orleans due to an injury.

2015

Kobe didn't play in New York due to an injury.

2016

Kobe only put up 10 points in what would turn out to be his final All-Star Game in Toronto, but the memories of seeing him trot out on the court in that red West jersey for the last time will go down as one of the seminal moments of his legendary career.
