Is Kobe gonna play in the All-Star game?

[DirkNowitzki41]

It's a lock that he is voted in as a starter, but with him sitting out games lately to rest and the rumors of him potentially shutting it down for the year, is he going to give up that spot to a deserving guard like Ellis, Klay or Conley or is he still planning on playing?

[gts]

He'll probably suit up, play at the start then sit out

it's a fans game, the fans voted him in, possibly his last one.. he needs to be there

[I<3NBA]

he'll play in the ASG even if it kills him.

it's his only chance to show up Lebron.

C'mon, be respectful for a minute.
This may be the last all-star game of Kobe's career, why wouldn't he play. And it's the biggest game of the year for him. I expect him to come out with the MVP.

[SpecialQue]

This is not an actual question.

[Lebronxrings]

considering he plays for useless achievements many times, probably.

no doubt. didnt wanna make it sound like im disrespecting him. I want to see him play.. for the exact reasons you said. Was just curious.

[Genaro]

Kobe will probably play this game like it's a playoff game. It wouldn't surprise me if he ends up being the MVP

This. At this time, Kobe is only playing for personal glory, so he isn't going to sit out so that he can be a "benefit" to his team.

if this were true he'd be stat padding to add to his totals in real games instead of resting.
What a moron.

Not true. His fg% and ppg will suffer if he plays every game for this and next year.

[Crown&Coke]

Would be funny if he plays the ASG, then sits out the first game back for rest

[ImKobe]

With all the games sat out (and no apparent injuries), he will show up.

I want more Kobe vs. Lebron.

I think they will shut him down for the season, or sit him out until a top 5 pick is secured. No way are they going to play him and let him go on a streak and win games with the pick on the line. Tanking is our Playoffs this year.

:facepalm The only reason Kobe is "resting" is because playing brings down his season averages. He's been taking 7 day breaks between games lately, yet is still having 2/12 and 3/19 shooting nights. Embarrassing honestly. I expect Quitbe to shut it down after the All Star break in order to keep his scoring average for the season above 20 ppg.

He was absolutely stat padding. He is only resting now because his body is breaking down. If he felt good, he would be right back out there stat padding.

[Jakeh008]

All star break is like a week now to give players more rest. So fatigue shouldn't be a problem.

[AnaheimLakers24]

Kobe starting unlike harden an dwight :lol
rockets take another l

housto is pathetic

[strifed169]

If Kobe had any dignity left he'd stay on the bench in a suit, if he plays it will be 1 of those Walgreen feel good stories about a grandpa playing his last game.

[SexSymbol]

So much disrespect in a single thread.
