Last Sunday night’s NBA All-Star Game rightly felt like one big celebration of Kobe Bryant’s memory, as emotional tributes happened before the game and then the players went out and put on a show in his honor.
It was an emotional night for everyone involved, as it came just three weeks after Kobe and his daughter, Gianna, where two of nine people killed in a helicopter crash near Los Angeles.
NBA legend Allen Iverson was in attendance for the game in Chicago and he wore a Kobe jersey for the special night.
On Tuesday afternoon a new video emerged that shows Iverson and Dwyane Wade sharing a special moment after the pregame tribute to Kobe, and it’s pretty great:
Powerful moment between A.I. and D-Wade after the Kobe tribute in Chicago. Wow.
