Meh, he doesn't deserve it based on style of play, he probably isn't a top 75 player in the league anymore, but it's a meaningless game for the fans, and if they want to see Kobe starting, he should start, tbh..
Pretty sure another thread was made on this, but its not a valid thread until I make it. Harden and Houston fans are pissed tbh

Kobe is starting based on the same system which almost made Yi Jianlian start over Kevin Garnett in the East. Fans will vote for their sentimental favorites
In memoriam, tbh
Surely, Jim should start in this game as well, right? Of course his position is a lock seeing as there is a map out there somewhere where even Californians have voted for Jim as the better player. ... even ESPN admits that Jim is the better player, right? He's the defending champ and an all-time top 5 great... he gets in right? No way the most "hated and despised ball hog chucker," "teammate under the bus thrower," "coach staring down killer," "37% shooter," Kobe gets the starting nod over championship Jimmy, right?
Yao Ming laughs at this Kobe fellow.

Hope he gets another bloody nose.
Last year his block on Lebron was Lakerfans greatest moment since the Acqittal. Maybe he can bring some joy once again.
Place your bets on the East winning it this year.
det was 2 years ago
, figures I would forget that.
Popularity contest tbh.
I don't disagree, but I guarantee you that map looks entirely different if you ask the same question 10 years from now. That question was asked sortly after the Spurs won a championship in dramatic fashion, obviously its going to be entirely red. It's even red in California. I recall ESPN asking something similar in regards to Kobe V Lebron and Duncan in 2010 and everyone was certain then that Kobe cemented his status over both stars.
Personally, I think TD has surpassed Kobe, but you have to ask the question 5-10 years after they retire.
What is even more funny is the state of California voted on LA being a better team without Kobe this year on those polls (ESPN), they on him in his own state and said the Lakers were better without him
I would love to argue that you're wrong......but I can't. Sports fans are always caught in the "right now".
Exactly, we have to see how Lebron and TD finish their careers. Kobe is beyond done and his last few years will undo much of his great moments. Regardless, Kobe, Lebron, and TD will stand out as THE guys of their era over all the potential guys like Kevin Garnett, D-Wade, Dwight Howard, Vince Carter, Allen Iverson, etc. Guys that are also recognized but not "The guys" of their era.
When does the voting end tbh?
Adam Silver will rig the votes so that Harden gets through.
I always got the impression (especially from the coaches & analysts) that Tim had the better career all along (and was the better player). Tim nearly (and should've) won the MVP in his second season and was the only player to have beat a prime Shaq twice.
I think 5 basically removed any doubts.
given the trend, it's likely TD will be a top 4 all time and kobe barely cling for the top 30, 10 years from now. I'm not joking btw.
Good joke.
You don't know basketball if you actually believe this about Kobe. Kobe is cemented in the top 15.
