Should Kobe Be An All Star?

[NumberSix]

I say yes. No question about t. He is at worst the #2 fan favorite NBA player. No debate.







Melo shouldn't be though.

[LAL]

Have some patience man.

[IncarceratedBob]

Who deserves it over Kobe?

Harden is overrated, no star power.

Klay has no personality, one dimensional player.

[Genaro]

If we're considering what he done so far, I would say no. 'cause he only played 2 games.

[HomieWeMajor]

Yes because I'd like to see some more 1500 word essays.

[NumberSix]

If we're considering what he done so far, I would say no. 'cause he only played 2 games.
But it's not the "most impact players" game. It's the all star game. Kobe is without one of the biggest stars.

[moe94]

Melo shouldn't be though.

All-Star game. Not all-my team is doing great game.

Is this the extent of your analysis and criticism?

[DuMa]

who deserves it? you ask?

it should be Jeremy Lin and CP3

ok you got me....Damian Lilliard

Depends how you look at it. ASG is in my opinion a way to celebrate the good seasons those players are having.

[Black and White]

Yes, Kobe should be an all star, no question /Thread

[scm5]

From a fan-based perspective, yes.

From a statistical standpoint on the season so far, no. He's only played two games and guards like Curry and Harden (assuming CP3 is in) have had great seasons.

[moe94]

Wait, your argument for Kobe in is off his popularity, but you say Melo cannot be an allstar? At what point did you decide your own logic is asinine and dismissed it?

[Solefade]

I agree with this




Steph Curry

[Smoke117]

Why even make this thread? There is no "should" when it comes to the all star fan selections and Kobe will be one obviously whether he played 1 game or 20. The All NBA Teams matter a lot more than being on the all star team.

[Black and White]

From a fan-based perspective, yes.

From a statistical standpoint on the season so far, no. He's only played two games and guards like Curry and Harden (assuming CP3 is in) have had great seasons.

I don't think Harden should be near the all star game so far,

Kobe (we all know hes gonna make it)
CP3
Westbrook
Tony Parker
Curry
Lillard (yes Lillard)

Have all been better

I know Harden will make it, but i don't think he deserves it over those guys

[cos88]

lifetime award of course.


real basketball no. if he plays better than paul, curry, harden etc before the all star break he should be.


he doesn't deserve to start over the guys above.

[DMAVS41]

yes, unless he takes Dirk's spot

[Mass Debator]

Yes, but as the coach. :pimp:

[moe94]

He's playing as good, if not better than all of those. What argument do you have? Defense? It's not one you want to explore given the circumstances. :oldlol:

[Black and White]

There is no way he is playing better than Westbrook, no way

[Mr. Jabbar]

hes gonna shut down lebron again, wouldnt surprise me if lebron decides not go

DNP - shat pants

[kNicKz]

The All-Star game isn't a showcase of the best players in the league. It's a showcase of who the fans want to see the most. In the end it usually ends up being the same thing, but it isn't the purpose of the game. (See 2011 Yao Ming)

[DStebb716]

The NBA All-Star game is a joke. At least other leagues don't have guys who don't play games in the All-Star games.

[Genaro]

hes gonna shut down lebron again, wouldnt surprise me if lebron decides not go

DNP - shat pants
:roll: :roll: :roll:

This guy is a legend

[kNicKz]

Dunk Contest?

[riseagainst]

:lol

[outbreak]

eh all star game is a joke, players who haven't played when the voting is released shouldn't be on the ballot.

[Black and White]

:roll: :roll: OMG!!!!

[moe94]

Jabbar is funny but you're licking his ass at this point. That wasn't even good.

[Jlamb47]

Jabbar is funny but you're licking his ass at this point. That wasn't even good.
jealous :biggums:

[9erempiree]

Yes, Kobe deserves it. You cannot lose your spot based off injury. If he was never hurt he would be well deserving.

Look what he did in his 2nd preseason game. Wait till Kobe's regular season starts too.

[outbreak]

Jabbar is funny but you're licking his ass at this point. That wasn't even good.
Do you need to be sent to the Jelly School?

[TheReal Kendall]

So if he takes somebody's spot like Curry or some other young player that deserves y'all would be ok with that?

Kobe should be ineligible for the all star game.

Watch he's gonna wind up taking somebody's spot that deserved it more.


Also I don't believe Melo should make it but he will

[rfm767]

Yes, by the time of the ASG he will be playing like an AS.

[okayabc123]

everyone ridicules all-star game anyway, so who cares if Kobe makes it or not. Personally, even if we get to the all-star game, it is hard for me to sit here and sit Kobe will have the numbers to justify him starting as SG in the all-star game. I think CP3 and Curry deserves hell a lot more than Kobe if they continue to keep it up.

Harden to me is fake, dude has a good game, but all he does is the euro step and his arms goes flailing and he tumbles on the floor like he got shot or something.

Klay is just not fun to watch, I'm sorry. He maybe the best shooter in the NBA, but there's no attraction to his game.

Damien Lillard, this guy is a beast, I think he deserves to be in the all-star game. He is still raw in terms of his overall game, especially running the offense and play that tough man-to-man defense. But he like Curry is a killer. He just hits shots, key momentum shots. And he has similar quality as CP3, he just isn't as mature yet.

[Xiao Yao You]

of course not

[I<3NBA]

he'll be injured again before all star game begins.

[oh the horror]

It's an all star game. Not "best players most deserving to be in a game" game.


Again a lot of you are bringing your personal bias into this.

Yes. The allstar game is still two months away, nobody knows how well Kobe will be playing in that time. Also Curry will make it regardless so there's no reason get panties in a bunch.

[HylianNightmare]

yeah he si still kobe bryant, even if he goes out there for 5 minutes to start the game and then sits people will vote him in

[TheMarkMadsen]

He's only played 2 games nobody deserves to be an all star after two games

[TheMilkyBarKid]

He doesnt deserve it but neither does wade.
These 2 might make the team as long as theyre playing.

[kNicKz]

It's an all star game. Not "best players most deserving to be in a game" game.


Again a lot of you are bringing your personal bias into this.

"He shouldn't be an all star because I don't like him!!! :cry: "

[BoutPractice]

He's Kobe Bryant

[coin24]

Of course lawd Godbe should and will make the ASG:oldlol:
Get ready for some more GOAT blocks on bronzey:roll:

[ripthekik]

Well I can see why a Lebron stan would not be comfortable with this.

Chill, there's a reason why there's an all-nba selection at the end of the season.

The all-star selection has always been and will always be a popularity contest.

[leMVP]

All-star is popularity contest, so yes he deserves to be there.

But, if he's near any of all-nba teams then NO!!!
