Sunday’s 92nd annual All-Star game featured a reworked format in honor of Kobe and his 13-year-old daughter, an up-and-coming basketball player herself.
The other victims of the helicopter crash — includingJohn Altobelli,Keri Altobelli,Alyssa Altobelli,Sarah Chester, Payton Chester,Christina Mauserand pilotAra Zobayan— were all honored as well, with both teams wearing patches featuring nine stars to represent each of the deceased.
In addition, there was a change in how scoring was handled. Rather than the usual time limit, when scores are tallied up in the fourth quarter, a target score was set, which each team had to reach in order to win. And in yet another nod to the number Kobewore for the latter half of his career, 24 points was added to the winning score in order to determine the target.
And if that weren’t enough, the league renamed the MVP trophy “the Kobe Bryant MVP Award,” in his honor (Kobe was the youngest person ever to compete in an All Star game, and was named MVP four times).
As for Kim and Kanye, prior to the All-Star game, the couple was together for a Chicago installment of the rapper’s popular Sunday Service.
Kim shared on social media a video from the service, including a moving performance her husband and his choir did of his 2015 hit, “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.”
