injured c KOBE.....................

[redemption32]

Kobe voted by fans to start alongside Stephen Curry in this year's ASG in Brooklyn, New York. But his starting position is in jeopardy due to an injury in his rotator cuff which normally requires surgery and rehabilitation.

ESPN:

Kobe Bryant was selected to start in the 2015 NBA All-Star Game, but perhaps fans got it wrong and should have voted for the Rockets' James Harden, who leads the NBA in points per game this season.


WTF! The fans got it wrong? The millions of fans who voted got it wrong? LOL

I agree James Harden may be the leading scorer, but he's not marketable enough for the fans to vote for him. Bottomline is, it would be the fans' decision as to WHO they want to see play. I don't understand why these idiots from ESPN would question the fans' decision. SMH

Kobe got the 40th spot on ESPN's 2014 NBA player rankings before the season started. They even ranked Chris Paul second. Kobe proved them wrong so far by ranking 9th in the league for points per game with 22.3 along with 5.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.3 steals in 35 games. Is that how a 40th best player perform?

ESPN may still be scratching their heads and now they would question the fans' votes. Interesting.

Still no love for Kobe, ESPN?

It actually depends on how you look at the All-Star Game.

Since there is actually no standards on how you choose the All-Star Game starters, ESPN's opinion is as valid as yours.
I personally prefer Klay over Harden and Kobe this year.

I agree, there are no standards. So what's the point of having the fans vote, in the first place? The main reason why there is an ASG is for the fans to watch their favorite players play together, that's how I look at it. It's not like competing for a gold medal in the Olympics where players are chosen based on their skills.

If we talk about standards, I'd rather have the current leading scorer in the league start.

since kobe is now out for the rest of the season, the only thing i'm hoping is that the lakers would be able to keep their first round pick. so mag-ampo nalang ta nga ma-top five ang lakers sa lottery.

[Chuck Norris]

Wow, Lakers lead the Wizards 31 - 24 in the first quarter with Clarkson, Ellington, Sacre, Kelly and Hill starting the game!

[Chuck Norris]

I wonder why Byron Scott sat Ellington out when he was on a hot shooting streak of 4/4 in favor of Jeremy Lin. Good thing his shooting streak continued in the 2nd quarter and now has 16 points combined with Clarkson's 11.

Pagka way ayo na lang jud ug mapilde na sad ni. Naa bya ni sila tendency to collapse in the third or fourth quarter. Lakers lead 57 - 46 in half time.

Not bad for the second stringers.

[The_JACKAL]

^^ Expected na jud na nga ang current Lakers karon boss mo collapsed jud inig ka 2nd half. Ang atoa nalang ani is we don't want to give the Suns our 1st round pick =D Hoping Coach Scott will let the rookies as well those with full potential play the most to give them better experience and boost their confidence entering next season if they are still with the team.

[Chuck Norris]

Collapsed jud 98 - 92. This current team doesn't know how to close a game.
