LOOK: Kobe Bryant at the All-Star Game through the years
Kobe Bryant was a regular at the All-Star Game throughout his career, having been selected for the event every year from his sophomore season till his last one in the NBA (with the exception of 1999, when the game was not held due to the lockout).
He made his presence felt at the game too, having been chosen four times as the All-Star Game MVP, which ties him with Bob Pettit for the most ever.
