HANG TIME BIG CITY — The polls are officially closed, and now it’s just a matter of time before we find out if Kobe Bryant will go out on top.
The 2016 NBA All-Star Game starters will be announced tonight, live on TNT at 7 p.m. ET. In this his final NBA season, Bryant has led the NBA in All-Star voting since initial totals were announced, with 1,533,432 overall votes in the latest returns. Bryant has maintained a consistent lead over last year’s leading vote-getter and MVP, Golden State’s Stephen Curry, and has already surpassed Curry’s league-leading total of 1,513,324 votes from last season.

Kobe is playing, and no big man is in the starting 5 for the West

Yeah, the All Star game isnt a joke at all

BDD is once again robbed by Kawhi

That's OK, Kawhi is having a great year, he deserved it.

It's insane Kobe is the leading vote getting, c'mon now. They shouldn't even have him on the ballot...

Thunder getting two starters, and Butler not making it is pretty sad.

Blame the NBA for that, not Kobe. Also blame the fans who voted him in.

Kobe should absolutely be the leading vote getter. And I'm not even a Lakers fan

dont think kyrie will make in. So Reggie or John wall have a great chance

Zaza getting that many votes is incredibly hilarious. He is having a very good season though.

Good on Lowry for getting the nod. He has been PG in the east. Wall shouldn't have taken November off. Only himself to blame.

Why are you surprised? Do you understand his significance to the league? He' an all time great and he deserves to start for his last season. Arguably the most popular player of his generation. Alot of the players playing now look up to him like how he looked up to MJ.

Butler got robbed. Hopefully fuels him even more.

I've no problems with Kobe being a starter tbh. His last season. Deserves to start.
