To people who voted for Kobe for All star

[Spurs m8]

OP is right.

They may as well scrap the all star game...its actually a joke and doesn't mean shit.

It's pretty much the same as why democracy fails...stupid people are allowed to vote.

Who the **** cares if all the players are gonna play like a bunch of fakkits anyways. Compare 2015 to 2001, it's night and day.

I wouldn't say the all-star game is meaningless in terms of being an accolade for a player. Only about 6% of the league make the all-star team in any given season. That's pretty exclusive. Most NBA players will never be an all-star. Yes, occasionally the fans get it wrong, but more often than not an undeserving starter would still be selected as a reserve. If an injured player is voted in, a replacement is named so it doesn't cost a deserving player a spot. A case like Kobe this year is very rare, where a healthy player is voted in who is undeserving altogether.

They voted Kobe for respect of the game . He was probably(1th or 2th) best player of between 2001-2010 . He deserved it .

Yup Kobe was top player 01-10.

This dude is really leading over Curry?

[SpaceJam]

I guess you could say it was.......human error

[ballinhun8]

Not as glorious as the spectacle of Kobe embarrassing himself in fromt of 100s of millions live.


The whole world will be on notice to see how much "The Black mamba" has fallen off




IMO this could potentially destroy his legacy, especially if he drops one of those 1/14 stinkers

This year's past ASG got 7 million viewers.



You're a moron.

[SexSymbol]

He's the most popular player of the last 15 years and a retiring, one of a kind legend, it's pretty easy to see why he gets the most votes considering the league is now made up of superstars like still up and coming curry, majorly regressed Lebron and a baby Antonio Davis

[sportjames23]

I get what you're saying, I personally don't think fans should be able to vote for all-stars. Yeah the league wants to put what the people want on the court, but what the people want isn't necessarily the best. Evidence? Kobe this year, T-Mac and Yao in 2010 I believe, Obama, the list the goes on.
Coaches and GM's should be able to vote in every all-star, get more educated people on the task

This dumb muh[COLOR="Black"]f[/COLOR]ucka here.

Kobe still a fan favorite in his 20th season. Much respect

[DrakeTheSnake]

Kobe's all-star selections obviously cannot be used in any arguments about his greatness. He is the equivalent of modern pop-stars like Justin Bieber being voted best musician of all time because his fans are insane.

Why is nobody voting for Duncan, Dirk & KG if they respect the game so much?

What do you expect from a poster that says "1th or 2th"?
