All-Star game uniforms will honor Bryant and other crash victims

The uniforms for the NBA All-Star game will feature special numbers and patches honoring the lives of all nine people.

Team LeBron will pay tribute to Kobe Bryant by wearing No. 24 and Team Giannis will honor the life of Gianna Bryant by wearing her No. 2 jersey number.

In addition, all jerseys will have patches displaying nine stars — representing all those who died in the crash. The patches also will be worn during the NBA Rising Stars Challenge and by players competing in the All-Star Saturday Night events the day before the game.
