It definitely felt like he got the superstar vote in the end of his career when it was happening. Looking back now at the list of players that got votes at the Guard position those late years I don't really see anyone who was clearly snubbed.

Isn't it wrong to speak ill of the dead superstar?

Kobe's not here to defend himself :cry:
