Re: Does Kobe really deserve to start in the All-Star Game?
of course not! He (and the coach that allows him to) is the reason why maybe one of the best teams ever assembled has a below 0.500 record, routinley taking more shots than Gasol, Howard and Nash combined! Instead of taking the Celtics big 3 approach he is playing like he still had to trust Smush and Kwame, while playing worse defence (except for couple games in last weeks) than I would! For f sake, Steph Curry or Parker or somebody else far more deserving will be left out because of him!

Re: Does Kobe really deserve to start in the All-Star Game?
how about you discuss?
why make this thread if you aren't going to give your opinion?
oh yeah, that's right. you're trolling.
of course the mods are probably too busy closing some thread that's actually decent to close this.

Considering the Lakers ORtg drops by 10 points/100 when Kobe is off the court, I'm calling BS on that one.

The Rockets lost 7 in a row and Harden hasn't been playing that well lately either. But I would start Harden simply because the game is in Houston.

Re: Does Kobe really deserve to start in the All-Star Game?
lol @ empty stats
seriously
PER of 23 means nothing?
if the PER were <20 you'd have an argument for chucking, but at 23 u really can't say anything

Re: Does Kobe really deserve to start in the All-Star Game?
I'm not a big fan of Kobe and have enjoyed watching the Lakers go down (Not to mention all the laughs and trolling )... I also think Kobe is overrated as far as all time greats are concerned.
That being said, this is a pathetic excuse for a thread. OP, you should be ashamed of yourself for making this thread.

I think those stats are a little empty.
When was the last time a guy averaging almost 30 ppg was left out of the ASG?
World B. Free missed it with 28.8ppg in 78-79. Tiny Archibald with 28.0 in 71-72. Purvis Short with 28.0 and Dominique with 27.4 were left off in 84-85. The most recent omission was probably Carmelo in 05-06 at 26.5. Doesn't happen too often.

Kobe is having a mediocre month but he was better earlier in the season.

this year? hell yes. he's had an amazing return to form after years of predictable post-prime downward drift

Re: Does Kobe really deserve to start in the All-Star Game?
Yes he deserves it. He should continue to make the all star game every year he's in the league imo, until he is no longer a starter caliber player. In other words, likely ever year.
The dude is a legend and putting up nearly 30/5/5. Yes his team is garbage, but it isn't all on him. Teams lose together, teams win together...their defense as a team is poor.

Replace Kobe with Dwight and your thread makes sense.

Durant actually leads the league in scoring. Kobe 29.2, Durant 29.5

Actually when I posted that, Kobe was still leading the league in scoring...
Are you gonna quote me again in a couple days saying that actually Carmelo leads the league in scoring?

Did he not receive the most votes or did I forget the criteria for starting the all-star game?

Perhaps, but the problem in both cases is who would really start over them? For Kobe it would be..James Harden? I suppose you could go Paul/Westbrook, but there is no SG more deserving. For Dwight it would be...Marc Gasol?? A 14pt 7reb guy? Really? I'm a Cousins believer myself, but you just can't do that until they win, and he proves he's settled down. Maybe next year. So you've got two HOFs on a struggling team, and then almost nobody of note to replace them, so its kind of a given.

It's close. Westbrook probably deserves it more.

Re: Does Kobe really deserve to start in the All-Star Game?
Depends on the reserves, the Spurs need some rep and Tony Parker seems to be having another career best year as an overall player although Duncan's resurgence needs credit too
