In the final minutes of the 2013 NBA All-Star Game, the Black Mamba defended King James, treating fans to a few memorable trips up and down the floor.
With the East down by eight under three minutes left, Bryant took on the task of defending the three-time MVP. LeBron tried to get by him and drove to his left from the right wing.
James used a screen to get some separation from Bryant before taking a running jumper from a few feet inside the 3-point line.Kobe rejected him. The block led to an easy one-handed dunk from Kevin Durant on a fast break.A few possessions later, James tried to drive by Bryant again. This time he drove to hoop, but Bryant was all over him again and forced LeBron to put up a wild shot from the baseline.Kobe rejected it out of bounds.
While LeBron ended up finishing with 10 more points than Kobe, the last few minutes might stick with NBA fans rather than the box score.

The All-Star game was a competitive one down the stretch, and not surprisingly, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James were the ones competing hardest, and doing so against one another with the contest hanging in the balance.
Bryant got the best of James on two possessions, twice blocking the shot of the reigning league MVP in the game’s final three minutes.
The first one was the most impressive. James seemed to think that Bryant got caught on the screen from Chris Bosh, and pulled up for a 20-foot jump shot once he dribbled past him.
But Bryant came from the side and was able to cleanly block James as he went up, and Kevin Durant picked up the pieces and turned them into an uncontested dunk that put the West up 10 with two and a half minutes to play in the game.
Durant was sincerely impressed.
“I don’t know,” Durant said, when asked when was the last time he saw James get one of his jump shots blocked. “It was a great block. I haven’t really seen any MVP get a jumper blocked like that. It was a really great play. Kobe is a great player.”

nemam se zbog cega naloziti jer sam navikao na ove situacije da u igri 1 vs 1 Kobe izdominira Lebricka.. Nista dosad nevidjeno
