Kevin Durant wins the All-Star game MVP, as he led the West squad to a win over the East, 152-149. Durant scored 36 points and grabbed 7 rebounds on his way to his first All-Star game MVP. This all-star game wasn't only historic for KD, but Kobe Bryant and the game broke a few records as well. Kobe Bryant need 19 points to become the all time leading scorer in all-star game history (passing Jordan). Kobe wasted no time scoring 14 points in the 1st half. He broke the record with a dunk in the 3rd quarter and finished with 27 points. The West set a record with most points in a half in all-star history (88). This game was a blow out early with the West leading by 20+ at one point. The East made a furious comeback led by LeBron James 36 points; shooting 6-8 from three. LeBron almost took the MVP award from Durant but the East couldn't complete the comeback. Down by two with a minute to go, Dwayne Wade turns the ball over on a fast break opportunity. Later with 16 seconds left in the game, Deron Williams misses a three to win the game and with one last opportunity to win, LeBron James turns the ball over. Kevin Durant wins his 1st of three possible MVP awards this year (All-Star MVP, League MVP, Finals MVP). I think KD will go 2 for 3.
