Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant returned to his birthplace of Philadelphia when the 2002 All-Star Game was held at the First Union Center on Feb. 10, 2002. Bryant, who was welcomed home in traditional Philly style by being booed incessantly, overcame the opposition by draining 31 points with 5 assists and 5 rebounds during the 135-120 Western Conference victory. Bryant was awarded the All-Star Game MVP for his efforts, the first of four the "Black Mamba" would earn during his illustrious career.
