#2 2011 All-Star Game MVP - Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bryant is one of the best players to ever play the game and is one of the greatest scorers to ever step on the court. During his prime, Kobe was an unstoppable force and a nightmare for the opposing team.
In 2011, a 32-year-old Kobe put on an exhibition for fans as the West beat the East by five points. Kobe has always been a prominent scorer for any team he plays in and the All-Star Game was no different for the Black Mamba as he put up a double-double to lock-in the 2011 All-Star Game MVP.
In the 2011 game, Bryant was totally unstoppable as his constant threat in the offence let his teammates get more open shots and score easy buckets. Moreover, Kobe's rebounding helped the team regain possession several times during the game which was one of the turning points of the game.
As a veteran, Kobe's presence on the court was really helpful for his team and during several instances of the match, Bryant led the team's offence to make sure his team secures the win.
Match Score - Team West 148:143 Team East
Kobe Bryant - Points: 37, Assists: 3, Rebounds: 14
#3 2012 All-Star Game MVP - Kevin Durant
Durant was one of the most loved players in the league before the criticism that came with his move to the Golden State Warriors in 2016. He was also one of the top contenders to take the throne from LeBron as the best player on the planet.
In 2012, a 23-year-old KD was named an All-Star for the third consecutive time in his career and was one of the favorites to win the MVP. He didn't disappoint his fans. The performance was one of many hints that he would establish himself as a top player.
Durant in this match just didn't impress the fans with his stacked stat line but also with his leadership quality. As he was the anchor of the team during the whole game, these kinds of attributes are not reflected on the box score but sometimes can change the whole outcome of the match.
Match Score - Team West 152:149 Team East
Kevin Durant - Points: 36, Assists: 3, Rebounds: 7
