Kobe Bryant Breaks Nose Minutes Before Passing Jordan's All Star Record
 Kobe Bryant broke two things at Sunday's NBA All Star Game, his nose and Michael Jordan's All-star highest scorer record - both coming in the third quarter. First, Dwyane Wade fouled Kobe in the third - which many considered excessive given the lightheartedness of the game. Wade defended his foul,
"Yeah, I obviously didn't try to draw no blood, but I took a foul," Wade said afterward. "Kobe fouled me two times in a row, so he's still got one up on me. But I'm glad that everything was cool and we got back to being competitive and having fun."
Michael Jordan garnered 262 points in his 13 year all star career while Bryant broke that record on a dunk with 4:57 left in the third quarter of this 13th All Star game.
Other highlights in the game came from Bryant touting LeBron James to shoot the ball in the last few seconds of the game. James proceeded to pass and lost the opportunity to make the shot to tie the game. Despite having a great night, James is suffering a fresh dose of criticism for not being a clutch player.
Here's how ESPN puts it:
"Yeah, he was telling me to shoot it," LeBron said afterward, still sounding dejected from a late-game breakdown that soured a performance in which he had 36 points, seven assists and six rebounds to nearly lead the East back from a 21-point second-half deficit. "I (saw) my teammate open for a split-second. When I tried to throw it late, that's what usually happens and it results in a turnover. Definitely, I wish I could have that one back."
