The passing of Bryant is going to take a long time to get over. The Lakers players were very emotional on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers at Staples Center during LA's tribute to Kobe.

Just like last season, LeBron and Giannis will be the All-Star captains. Both LeBron and Giannis had close relationships with Bryant. Antetokounmpo trained with Kobe the summer before he won MVP, while LeBron has had a longstanding relationship with Bryant for years.

A lot of players around the league have changed their jerseys numbers to honor Bryant. A number of other players are keeping their No. 8 or No. 24 in order to pay tribute to Kobe.
