OT Adam Silver says Kobe should be an All Star

[illmatic99]

Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

I already proved that with that thread about free throws.

Exactly. Doubt adding a 3rd AS selection would do much to change that.

What exactly has making 2 AS games done for Dame's ability to get FTs ?

Haven't you ever heard that the third time is the charm?

Jeez, do I have to explain everything around here?

 

[Blazers Roy]

They probably want to do that Jordan last all star "emotional" bullshit all over again.
I wonder if they'll bring Mariah Carey and her big boobs to sing for him again.

Some of that is a matter of technique on Dame's part. He's getting contact, but he hasn't mastered the technique of demonstrating to the refs that there's been contact. He needs to study Westbrook and Harden.

Westbrook, yes.

Harden, no. I don't want him studying anything about that piece of shit.

Harden, no. I don't want him studying anything about that piece of shit.

Harden gets to the line. A lot. In his case, I'd agree he's doing something wrong right, but the refs buy it.

He gets to the line, but he focuses SO MUCH on getting fouls that it hurts the rest of his game. It doesn't translate well to the playoffs.

 

[Tunchi]

Missing the game will also fire him up, which might be bad for our lottery position

Yea like it did last year after that long rant letter he wrote ?

He still got in. He was still an All-Star.

With that said, how do you not realize that his fingers were fucked up?

Well this is F'ed up!

After the first returns of 2016 NBA All-Star voting, Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant is leading the pack by a wide margin.

Bryant already has 719,235 votes -- well ahead of Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry (510,202), the next-highest vote-getter, and more than twice as many as Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James (357,937). Bryant has more votes than James and Kevin Durant combined.

This is why Adam Silver is the commissioner of the NBA, he's smart. Saving face before the fans inevitably vote Kobe into the all star game. It's not the stance I'd wished he would take, but it's probably the right one for him to.

 

[Strenuus]

Well this is F'ed up!

It's cute that NBA fans can't think for themselves.

I haven't read the thread, but I had to respond to the thread title.

Who cares what Adam Silver thinks? Instead of criticizing Kobe for not playing in the All-Star Game, why doesn't Adam Silver play in it, if it's so easy?

 

[kjironman1]

I do think Aldridge is a lock. He is playing well for the Spurs and putting up good numbers. He'll probably be a bench guy but he'll be there.

Both Duncan and Leonard have more votes and when it come down to it Dirk, Jordan, Howard and Cousins will get the nod. Aldridge is very questionable at best this year.

 

[KingSpeed]

The good news is Kobe is a front court player this year. It'll be him, KD, and Griffin. The bad news is this:
