I'm with JVG on this. They need to take the vote away from the fans. It's stupid, and completely goes against what the All-Star game is actually about. Kobe shouldn't even be an All-Star let alone a starter.
If you are a Kobe hater, do your best to get him into the game. Kobe being in means one of several deserving guard will note. Curry, Kobe, Harden, Westbrook, CP3 are basically locks. Meaning fans of teams with Lillard, Monta, Thompson, Lawson, Parker, Conley will all hate the Lakers and Kobe because he prevented their guy from getting in. That and watching Kobe shoot off-balanced 20 footers in an all-star game will further make people realize how old and crappy he is these days.
LOL at you guys acting surprised. Kobe still has an army of nuthuggers no matter how poorly he plays, and people hate us. I'm actually a little surprised it's this close.
Agreed, Kobe hasn't done nothing to have more votes than Harden this year. Yeah he beat Jordan scoring record.. on what 30+ shots a game? Cussing and yelling at his team? C'mon now NBA.
Very surprised! that Jeremy Lin is nowhere in the top. It was pretty obvious Kobe was going to get voted in over Harden due to popularity
It is a joke Kobe is in. He is not what he used to be and he needs to retire. Guy is a world class jackwagon.
Since I'm not allowed to post new threads and just to piss us off more, NBA TV just named Lillard's series winning shot the play of the year... Can't wait for this year's playoffs...
Your style of play just have to mesmerize the fans. Don't know the league's promotion for that. Love dropped a lot. So at least there are some who watched and based on performance.
Well Harden is 5th in voting. So he's not doing bad at all, it's just that the West takes two guards and one of them happens to be Kobe.
