[TurnUpTheHeat]

We all know how many miles he's logged since he joined the league.
He's been an iron man, but he's now 30 and played over 40,000 minutes.
It's finally catching up with him.

I expect his mindset to quickly lesson the importance of seeding and focus on being healthy when it matters.

By the summer of '16 he won't even be the most sought after FA IMO.

Agreed...If healthy, I would rather sign Durant.

Davis might be ahead of Durant but I'll take whoever you don't want.

 

[bksballer89]

Espn showed a stat today that showed he played the most minutes in nba history prior to his 30th birthday. Even more than kobe

No doubt.

But, he will never make it to Free Agency.

The Pelicans will max him this Summer or match any other Team that does in 2016.

It's truly frightening that he is still on his Rookie deal and putting up those numbers

Very true, unless there are some new twists and turns in the next CBA.

Body breaks down from PED's sooner or later. Just ask Ryan Braun. Just saying.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Good to see he's getting some recognition by the fans.

He's gonna be a Starter for the West at the All Star game if voting holds.

Both Gasol's might start too, which would be a first I think.

Sad that Butler, Lowry and Klay Thompson are nowhere on the map.

I hope Lowry makes it as a reserve.

I actually think they got the guards right in the East. AS games are about numbers and not your teams records.

Wade has been better than Butler and Wall has been better than Lowry. Both will make it as reserve

AS game is not about position.

So, if you take the top 2 guards, it's Wall and Lowry.

But, it's a fans game.

That's why Kobe will remain one of the top vote getters and Melo will start as well.

With that being said, I wasn't referring to them starting.

It bothers me that the guys I listed are not even in contention. They are not getting any votes.

Kyrie is the next guard, 90,000 back and both guys have outplayed him too.

Fans are dumb and vote for the names they know the most.

It is the reason why Yao Ming always used to start...It was the only basketball player they knew in China

Agreed.

But, I'm happy for Davis.

I hate that damn Kobe.

But, it really shows how popular he is that he got voted a Starter out injured last year and when his Team has stunk it up this year...But, Durant is an afterthought.

Same for Melo on that turd bird team.

Gasol deserves some love. But, I'm shocked he's ahead of Durant.

 

[DJ Fieri]

They'll be under .500 when he returns.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Except for last year when Kobe wasn't even playing, he earned his starting position every year though. I agree though that voting him in last year was stupid though.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Kind of interesting though how a year ago Lebron was being called "The best basket ball player in the NBA ever" and suddenly the excuses are flying left and right. Seems like to me if Lebron is going to be considered even better than Michael Jordan(who never missed again except for those he played baseball), then shouldn't be missing games already. After all if he is even better than Kobe, he shouldn't be missing games

I don't think it's stupid.

I think it's a testament to his popularity.

Hell, even Jordan didn't get voted in every year.

He was a reserve his last year with the Wizards.

* Remembers Vinsanity not wanting to give up his spot *

The Allstar game is for the Fans..Both hardcore and casual.

People want to see him, especially if next year is his Swan song...* which I don't believe*

The All-NBA Teams are for the Players and that's when the best get their due * usually *.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

I think Kobe wants to go out still playing at a relatively high level. Kobe could continue playing beyond next year but I'm not sure he will.

Kobe hadn't even played a game, and they voted for him - that was stupid, but they all thought he would be be back by then

Kobe missed 11 games in year 1, 16 games in year 4, and 14 games in year 5.
