It's a shame Kobe Bryant will be an All-Star starter while Klay Thompson...

[1987_Lakers]

will probably be snubbed.

[triangleoffense]

And you call yourself a Laker? :facepalm

If there ever was a seniority vote this has to be it... and you have to admit it's at least 100 times better than Yao Ming being voted it in the mid 2000s despite being injured all season

It's still wrong to have Kobe to be in the All-Star game this year, he doesn't deserve it, just because I'm a Laker fan doesn't mean I have to blindly think Kobe deserves to be an All-Star, because he clearly doesn't. My man Klay Thompson should replace Kobe.

[LAZERUSS]

I don't think Thompson would have made it anyway...

but the NBA should have just added a slot for an "honorary" player like Kobe, and let the rest of the voting and selections take care of themselves. If need by, give the East another player, as well.

[BasedTom]

will the players freeze him out like what happened to jordan in his first all star game?

[ElPigto]

There is no freakin way Thompson gets snubbed. He will be on the bench. They need to snub someone else.

Everyone knows the all-star game is a popularity contest anyways and we all know Kobe sits with the cool kids.

No, the all-star game is suppose to represent the best players in the NBA, Kobe isn't in that category anymore. Stupid fans.

I don't think I have ever read a "pro-Laker" post from you here...much less anything positive about Magic or the '87 Lakers...

Crazier things have happened in voting.

2007 voting, Vince Carter was dominating the guard position along with Dwyane Wade. When final votes came back, Gilbert Arenas had taken over.

2009, Tracy McGrady was dominating Chris Paul along with Kobe. Mac had only played like 2 games or so early in the season. Ginal voting, and Paul had overtaken Mac for the final guard spot.

[COnDEMnED]

No use crying over spilled milk. You can't be mad at things you have no control over. It's a useless exhibition game anyways where the players are voted in by fans. If it was players voted in by other players, we'd have something to talk about.

Kobe GOAT:bowdown: :bowdown:

The fans love and respect mamba

=/ and the world is suppose to be fair but sometimes reality doesn't work out that way.. are you saying that the all-star game is NOT a popularity contest? A roster that is decided entirely by fan-voting? (at least the starters)

[AnaheimLakers24]

Kobe starting over harden and klay

get over it

he will start next year to so start your whining for that too.

[livingby3's]

They should have a legend all star game for all the old birds to play.
Kobe Pierce Duncan Garnett Nash Allen Dirk

Probably some retired legends who can still ball can suit up to participate as well
Miller Chuck Shaq Kidd Hornacek Kerr

[JT123]

Looks like Kobe is going to get an MRI for a hurt shoulder. Hopefully he uses this excuse to sit out the All Star game and let a deserving player take his place.

Who cares? No one wants to watch Squidward jack up a bunch of open 3s.

What Will Be An Absolute Shame Is Russell The Goatbrook Being Snubbed While He Is Having An Mvp Level.
