Kobe is a class act, sitting out All Star game

[KingSpeed]

He wants someone who deserves it to play. Who has every done this? McGrady and Iverson didn't. I give Kobe props for this. This opens the door for Lillard.

Kobe and classy? Was that after he committed adultery and was accused of rape before paying hush money, or after he was forced to apologize for having yelled something extremely distasteful to an official from the bench:

I don't know if this is really unfortunate, or really ironic that KingSpeed of all people would call Kobe classy. smh

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Blazer Fanatic for the win! Repped!

Kobe and classy? Was that after he committed adultery and was accused of rape before before paying hush money, or after he was forced to apologize for having yelled something extremely distasteful to an official from the bench:

Stay classy.

He got voted in. So he's still and "all star", even if he sits out the game. No?

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I agree, Kobe is an asshat.

 

[BlazerWookee]

I hear Hitler liked to pet dogs once in a while. What a class act.

That's one of my Mentors Bennie Adams who T'd Kobe for calling him a Fucking F****t. Hilarious!

 

[HailBlazers]

class a$$

 

[Wheels]

I'd say its a classy move. If someone is blinded by their hate to be able to acknowledge them lol @ them.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Kobe. Class Act? Are you insane?

 

[noknobs]

Props to Kobe for doing the right thing.

He only liked German Shepards.

Comparing Kobe to Hitler is ridiculous and you know it, Kobe may have done some bad things like beat us time and time again in the playoffs and cheat on his wife but he is certainly not now or has he ever been worthy of a comparison to Hitler even as a joke.

Yeah, you're probably right. That was hyperbolic even for hyperbole.

I don't know if I'd call it 'classy' but it is the smart thing to do. He has to know how much shit he'd be tarnished with if he insisted on taking a more deserving players spot under the circumstances. That's all anyone would talk about. This way, he polishes his image much more than participating in yet another A.S. game would. And his image/legacy has to be the most important thing to him. And he's still an all star, as voted by the voting public.

Personally, I think it has more to do with taking time off to recover from his injury than it does anything else.

Sure, go with the obvious answer.

I think we can agree it has nothing to do with being noble.

King with the troll post of the week. Well played!

 

[Haakzilla]

Fuck Kobe.

I knew he was. Kobe plays for the love of the game and out of respect for others. Just one more up on LeBong James

Really? Get over it! The Holocaust only happened that one time!

Are we off topic far enough yet? lol Yikes.

Why not whore? If you're going to be a misogynist, at least have some balls. Pussy cat.

Being a misogynist implies he hates all women maybe he just can't stand you.

That's not even the case. I have nothing against BF. But if BF's going to start attacking people and post jab's then I'll fire back a built-in smiley worth a good laugh.

Blazer Fanatic, get over yourself and stop trolling. I hate Kobe like the majority of you, but your response about Kobe was a complete troll reply, in which you fully knew was going to stir up shit. Give it a rest. We've already went rounds and rounds on this board about his "rape" and other "crimes". Like my reply said, you're beating a dead horse...

Don't speak for everyone, I maybe a loyal Blazer fan but I have always liked Kobe, the way he works harder than everyone else to try and be the best.

She seems real traumatized that one.
