Kobe making the All-Star team is an absolute Joke

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Is he the worst all-star starter ever? i think so.

[Gabuyaux]

This is surprising to you? It's Kobe dude.

[LAZERUSS]

Haven't seen this topic before.

BTW, are you REALLY going to lose sleep over it?

[Real14]

Mods?

[RoundMoundOfReb]

It's not surprising...I expected it but it's still pathetic.

[KingLeBronJames]

He deserves it. Just like Jordan deserved it during his Wizards days. It's gonna be the same with LeBron when he hits 36 even when he could have the same stats as Kobe. You mad, bro?

[Heavincent]

Top 10 player all time, so it's not that much of an outrage.

Lifetime achievement for all he's done for the game.

"I'm BJ Armstrong. All star in 1994. Come at me bro."

Nope. In fact it probably freed up about 3 hours of my time.

[LAZERUSS]

It's not surprising...I expected it but it's still pathetic.

Keep in mind that he was VOTED in by the FANS.

Stay mad

It's called respecting a legend like 1992 with Magic, 2002 with Jordan, and 2013 with Garnett.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

I would legitimately take 1994 BJ Armstrong over current Kobe. And i don't think he started.

[AnaheimLakers24]

Op loses sleep over this. Was kate your mom?

[livinglegend]

He deserves it. Just like Jordan deserved it during his Wizards days. It's gonna be the same with LeBron when he hits 36 even when he could have the same stats as Kobe. You mad, bro?

Should we also call Bill Russell for the next all-star? He deserves it. He won 11 championship!

[RoundMoundOfReb]

It's called respecting a legend like 1992 with Magic, 2002 with Jordan, and 2013 with Garnett.
Is this a joke? All 3 of those were much better players than current Kobe.

[KNOW1EDGE]

Are you familiar with how the all-star team is selected?

Makes perfect sense to me, but I'm smart...

Reported.

I think he was the 3rd highest vote getter.

Yes. Are you familiar with what the All-star team is supposed to be?

I am not reading your reports. You can stop them stupid Knicks fan.

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Isn't the All-Star game just a showcase for the fans? Does Kobe deserve it, no, but does it really matter?

I'd love to see the ASG roster decided by people who know the game, but so long as it's a giant piece of fan service you have to expect this kind of selection.

A 17th All-Star selection isn't going to turn Kobe into a top 10 all-time player, it's just a meaningless accolade tacked on at the end of his career. It happened in baseball with Jeter and will continue to happen for legends of all sports.

[T_L_P]

Reported for reporting posts that shouldn't be reported.

Sorry Charles. :confusedshrug:

[Droid101]

:roll:

The salt is so strong. Why weren't you posting this shit when the first ballot returns came back? Everyone knew Kobe, most popular and best NBA player in the last decade, would be making it. It's the farewell tour. Get used to it.

He'll probably make it the year after he retires too. Stay salty.

"An all-star game is an exhibition game that purports to showcase the best players (the "stars") of a sports league."

From Wikipedia so you know it's 100% accurate.

Sorry Charles. :confusedshrug:
I'm not charles man and his post had to be reported because its not intelligent basketball discussion:no:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Also saying that it's a good selection because the fans voted for him is like saying obama/bush was a good president because people voted for them.

[YouGotServed]

Is he the worst all-star starter ever? i think so.

Rookie Yao started in the All Star game so....yes Kobe is the worst all star starter of all time.

So 15 kobe is worse than 13 k.g?:coleman:

[longtime lurker]

I think the bigger joke is that you're a 30 year old man and you have another 30 year old man living in your head.

:lol :lol

You better go to China and explain that to all those fvcken Kobe fans. Goodluck trying to convince them he isnt one of the best. It is what it is, he wouldnt have this kind of support if he wasnt an all time great, like someone else said its a lifetime achievement award.

Inaccurate, actually. Magic didn't play a single game in the 1991-92 season but was still voted in. 01-02 Jordan put up almost the exact same numbers as current Bryant except on worse efficiency. 12-13 Garnett was averaging under 15 points and 8 rebounds.

As I said, it wasn't about who deserved it over these players. It was about fans respecting greatness.

I never said it was a good selection. I said it was fans respecting a legend. Stop twisting people's words.

[LAZERUSS]

There is probably a good chance that he won't play anyway.

[Human Error]

You people who voted for Kobe should be ashamed of. The most undeserving all star starter in history.

[ABfor3]

Not surprising, this is a fan voted event. Kobe is starting because of the things he's accomplished his whole career, not because of how he's playing right now.

[Droid101]

Hurt butts everywhere.

[j3lademaster]

Didn't Jamal Magloire start one year, or am I remembering wrong? If so, he's got to be the worst all-star starter of all time.

[LAZERUSS]

Can you imagine the outrage if a one-armed Kobe somehow won the ASG MVP?

The Kobe-bashers would be rioting in the streets, burning buildings, and jumping off bridges...

[gts]

T-Mac was voted in while missing a ton of games, Yao voted in when he broke his foot and only played the first 5 games or so? As mentioned Magic was voted when he was retired, wasn't even on a roster yet he played in the all star game as a starter

allstar game is littered with guys who the fans wanted to see despite their injuries or level of play or lack of play at all

they all have one thing in common.. they were all premiere players.. fans never vote in scrubs, they may vote in injured players but they don't vote in lousy players

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Kobe is a scrub right now.

And yet that's all you talk about on here 24/7 is Kobe all day everyday. Ouch... I believe somebody here might have a huge man crush on the guy you have this weird obsession with him that is unhealthy. Here some advise get a job move out of your parents basement and do something productive with your life. Kobe is living rent free in your mind. :oldlol:

I talk about him because he's one of the only scrubs who people don't seem to realize is a scrub...and this is a discussion forum.

[Shep]

Yeh, he does not deserve it at all, but Carmelo Anthony being named is even worse

[Asukal]

Deserving? Maybe or maybe not but to call it an "absolute joke" is just pure hating. Let the kobe stans enjoy their boy a while longer, bran will be in the same boat a few years from now. Besides I'd rather watch Kobe play than that free throw vermin Harden. :oldlol:

as much as i hope for this to happen, i really doubt kobe will play at ASG this year :(

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

This isn't an All Team selection. All Stars are derived from fan voting, and fans like to watch Kobe Bryant play.

Nothing wrong with it at all.

[kennethgriffin]

I have no opinion on this subject. Forum rules

[Doranku]

OP literally can't stop thinking about Kobe. :roll:

Then again, I guess there's nothing better to do in that shit hole you call a country.

Too bad we won't get the opportunity to witness this after all...

[I<3NBA]

I was right...
don't count your chickens till they hatch.

Kobe's still living for that one moment he can block Lebron.
