The Black Mamba and Mambacita are getting a tribute from the NBA at All-Star Weekend.
The Black Mamba and Mambacita are getting a tribute from the NBA at All-Star Weekend in Chicago from Feb. 14 through 16.
The All-Star Game on Feb. 16, the marquee event of the weekend, will be a competition between Team LeBron, led by Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, and Team Giannis, led by the Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo. Team LeBron will wear the number 2 for Gianna and Team Giannis the number 24 for Kobe.
The NBA recently changed the scoring rules for the upcoming All-Star Game. The first three quarters will be score individually; at the start of the fourth quarter, the previous quarters’ scores will be combined and each team will play until a target score is achieved — the highest-scoring team’s total score plus 24 points. For example, if the leading team’s score is 100, the first team would win. The rosters for Team LeBron and Team Giannis will be revealed on Feb. 6.
