Why was Kobe an All-Star in 1998?

[Dray n Klay]

i admit he didn't deserve that one...


but didn't he drop like 40 on lebron that year with like 70% shooting

Nah, he missed the playoffs and won 17 games with a similar supporting cast to current lebron

That's STILL not all-star level...come on man. He didn't even start on his team .Eddie Jones was solid, but also not an all star player even though he somehow made it to the all star in 98 as well. I always say the last half of the 90's is the weakest modern era time period.

Kobe played better in 99, yet DIDNT make the all star team...I wonder why (MJ was gone)

There was no AS game in 99 (lock out season).

I was scrolling through here wondering how far id have to go before someone pointed out there was no 99 all star game. You all let like 15-16 posts go by...

Shhh...it's irrelevant to my OP. Which is Kobe was clearly not deserving o being an all star in 1998. Not one poster has provided a good argument for him making it.

The all-star game is a popularity contest, why don't people get that ?

Even if you think it's all about performance, 1998 wasn't Kobe's most undeserving year, that would be 2014.

Only one needs to be made.

The all star game was about being good in theory....but about fans wanting to see you in reality.

In 1992 the only game Magic Johnson played the whole season was the all star game.

he was young hyped as next "jordan", he was laker, he was dunk champ 1997 and voting was only by fans so is just pure hype, but overall its nothink wrong he made it
