Will Kobe be the worst player to EVER play in an All-star game?

[HenryGarfunkle]

kobe wont play in it

he'l skip it and say someone else deserves the spot. like he has the last 2 years

Which would be the understatement of the century

Kobe doesn't deserve a spot on an NBA roster, let alone an all-star nomination

yet these are the types of "achievements" you love praising kobe for. Isn't it ironic?

When someone shows me that they can put up 81 points a game in this modern era rules changed game, then I'll worry about who's the worst player in an all-star game....

The **** does a game from 10 years ago have to do with anything? Kobe was winning MVP's/Finals MVP's 7 seasons ago, doesn't mean he wouldn't have a strong argument for worst player to make an all-star game, and would be a lock for worst all-star starter, which I'm sure he'll get

Here are the rosters from the first all star game, in 1951. Do you really think that Kobe is worse than all of these guys?

Ed Macauley (Boston Celtics)
Joe Fulks (Philadelphia Warriors)
Paul Arizin (Philadelphia Warriors)
Dolph Schayes (Syracuse Nationals)
Vince Boryla (New York Knicks)
Bob Cousy (Boston Celtics)
Red Rocha (Baltimore Bullets)
Dick McGuire (New York Knicks)
Andy Phillip (Philadelphia Warriors)
Harry Gallatin (New York Knicks)
Western Conference
Alex Groza (Indianapolis Olympians)
Frankie Brian (Tri-City Blackhawks)
Bob Davies (Rochester Royals)
George Mikan (Minneapolis Lakers)
Vern Mikkelsen (Minneapolis Lakers)
Fred Schaus (Ft. Wayne Pistons)
Dike Eddleman (Tri-City Blackhawks)
Ralph Beard (Indianapolis Olympians)
Jim Pollard (Minneapolis Lakers)
Larry Foust (Ft. Wayne Pistons)

Andy Phillip, for example, averaged a blistering 11.3 points per game on 40% shooting.

Andy Phillip, for example, averaged a blistering 11.3 points per game on 40% shooting.

Is that really much better than 16 PPG on 34% shooting?

In terms of their level of play that year?

Guys like Tmac and Yao and I think Iverson have been voted in before when they hadn't actually played in the regular season, but they were out with injury - when healthy they were at a much higher level than current Kobe.

Kobe is basically the worst starter in the league this year.

Has there ever been anyone voted as an all-star while playing at such an incomprehensibly low level??

If Kobe gets selected to the All-Star game it will show the unmatched level of respect he has earned from his peers.

Fans =/= peers. Peers are his players....
