Kawhi Leonard was named the recipient of the NBA's first-ever Kobe Bryant All-Star MVP Award on Sunday.
The award was given to Leonard after Team LeBron defeated Team Giannis, 157-155, in an exciting down-to-the-wire contest. Leonard tallied a team-high 30 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three steals on 11-of-18 shooting.
The MVP started the game with the hot hand, draining 7-of-8 threes in the first half and finishing the night 8-of-14 from distance.
Leonard was awarded the Kobe Bryant MVP Award one day after the honor was renamed. NBA commissioner Adam Silver announced the permanent name change on Saturday to reflect the impact Bryant had on the game.
