Kawhi Named Starter in All-Star Game

[rasuo214]

Congrats to Kawhi and nice job Spurs fans. Now hopefully at least one of Parker, Duncan, LMA or Ginobili to join him.

[DarrinS]

Why would it suck, old man?

Because you're such a huge fan.

Because you're such a huge fan.

[SpursIndonesia]

Can't imagine the saltiness of Pizzaface Betacuck Durant about this news.

[daslicer]

Kenny and Chuck think Parker deserves to be an All Star reserve.

Those dudes know basketball, tbh

They also believe LMA doesn't deserve to go.

[bobby4germany]

, Tim Duncan should be amongst that group. Such a travesty that he has never won nor ever will win DPOY even though he's the best all-around defensive big man since Hakeem and David patrolled the paint.

This! Bowen should have had a DPOY as well

Congrats to Kawhi, well deserved tbh

[ErnestLynch]

Should add to his rest since they don't play defense in the ASG.

[r0drig0lac]

we are not worthy

[Drachen]

Reminds me of the year that Bowen almost got in. I sent remember who he almost beat, but I think it was amare stoudemire


This was in response to Zaza

Well deserved. Glad Kawhi is getting the fan recognition that he deserves.

Actually if things were done properly the Spurs would have 3 All-Stars, the Warriors as well, OKC would have two and the rest of the conference would have 4.

I'd say:
- Kawhi, Parker, LMA (or Duncan)
- Curry, Green, Thompson
- Durant & Westbrook
- Blake and maybe Paul
- Kobe
- some other useless player

[BillMc]

Do any other Spurs have a shot at the all-star game? As reserves?

Parker was picked by Chuck and Kenny....LMA was picked by Ernie.

I'd say LMA has a real shot. And Duncan an outside one (as sort of a career achievement). I don't think Tony does, but would be happy to be wrong.

[TheGreatYacht]

The reserves IMO should be:
Tony Parker
Lamarcus Aldridge
everybody else

[SoonerSpur512]

Yeah!! Sugar K!

[dabom]

Spurs might not have a 2nd player because that split vote between Duncan and LMA even though we probably get the most total votes for reserve.

[dabom]

Spurs always used to have 2 allstars no matter what.

[Arcadian]

Kirby is gonna try to steal his spotlight and jack up 40 shots to "celebrate" his final all-star game, tbh...

And at removing big men from the lineup...a sad token of the current state of centers in the NBA.

But still, gratz to Kawhi.

[UZER]

Kobe glad Kawhis in the west

[bic50]

Congrats kawhi. Also great job spursfan for for the late push.

He will but I sense Westbrook will jackup more shots than Kobe can get. Curry,Durant,Westbrook will all try for the MVP award. All 3 will go in with a gunners at ude. I think this will actually be the hardest all-star game for Kobe to jackup a bunch of shots in since he's going to have to compete with 3 guys who are also going to chuck.

[r0drig0lac]

[bic50]

But we need more then one spur as an all star.

[Arcadian]

Kirby front and center

The chucker and his legion of riders need to go away tbh.

Let's see...of those five guys on the left, Lebron played against four of them in the Finals. He lost to two of them (Curry and Kawhi), he beat two of them (Durant and Westbrook), and...the fifth hasn't sniffed the finals in over five years (Kirby).

...and they picked Kirby for the front center.

[HarlemHeat37]

I've had 2 tickets since they went on sale, but there's no way I'm going to attend that garbage, even with Kawhi in the game, tbh.. s are going to pay a 1000+ per ticket to watch Kobe chuck it, especially in Toronto where he has a cult following..
