Nice game to watch.
Kobe declaring some man-love for Melo
Nice game to watch.
nice tp had a good game
Do you not get it? It's a ing All-Star game.
It's pathetic that both Amare and D'Antoni have their panties in a bunch over Amare not getting MVP today.
maybe amare is ticked because with his knees he does not know how many seasons he will be able to play and wanted to really win the mvp
I don't care if is little leaque. You know how sensitive players are. If it had been Kobe not getting the MVP he would have his panties in a bunch.
Good game Kobe
haha, after looking at the box score, other than kobe, all of the other four starters got less minutes than every reserve except for okur, a bigger dude...d'antoni cannot coach any other way, it's all small ball or nothing
congrats, i was so glad he wonGood game Kobe
yeah, she and her husband are mavs fans!
stop stealing my bit
Amare came off really poorly in Jack McCallum's book on the Suns. Dude sounds like a total dumbass.
You should become a Laker fan. Join the Darkside.
well, the mavs and the knicks are my teams (yes, the knicks but they have really disappointed me because i really don't like francis or robinson or isaiah)You should become a Laker fan. Join the Darkside.
but i do have secondary teams that i root for, 2-3 teams, and the lakers are definitely frontrunners in that group and i've even gotten my bf to take a good look at the *new* kobe, something i thought would never happen unless froze over
so in a way, unless the mavs are playing the lakers, i do watch all the lakers games and root for them
thanks, i do like several guys on the lakers team (except for kwame)
btw, is that a pic of charles v of spain under that lakers hat in your avatar? weird but funny.
It's Galileo, I put the Lakers hat on him though.
It's originally a joke about the Boston Red Sox. But I changed it up a little.
COME ON KOBE! We can't have Amare win f-ing MVP of this thing!
What do you have against Amare?
he was doing pushups against the spurs
he was getting minutes because of HIS COACH
I guess nash fan would not know amare did pushups when playing the spurs one game
he is only a nash fan not a sun fan
kobe is such a tool. only in a game where no one else is trying would he storm down the lane like its finals game 7
Yes, I agree Amare was immature in doing pushups against the Spurs but he is only twenty-four so I will excuse it at that point but not if he does it again.
Amare was getting minutes because he was one the guys most interested in playing the game. He is not the definition of a ballhog. Most guards handle the ball and he either posted up or played a pick and roll with one of the guards or ran the floor with the guards. They passed him the ball and he was very efficient in scoring. He attempted twenty-two shots and made fourteen which equals 63% shooting. Amare also had nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and one turnover in twenty-one minutes. In comparison, Kobe played twenty-eight minutes, took twenty-four shots and made thirteen which is 54% shooting. Yes, he had six assists (he is a guard), six steals and four turnovers. If anything it would have been nice to have co-mvps.
In relation to D' Antoni playing the Suns players, well they do know his system and they were scoring well and efficiently. He also played Carmelo twenty-five minutes, Tony Parker twenty-three minutes, Ray Allen twenty-one minutes, T-Mac eighteen minutes, Dirk sixteen minutes and Garnett, Duncan and Okur fourteen minutes. The most efficent scorers in order were Carmelo, Amare, (not all dunks if you were watching the game) Marion,(yes, most of his were dunks), Tony Parker, and Dirk. T-Mac and Garnett were shooting 37.5 % while Carmelo's was 66%, Amare's was 63%, Marion was 60%, Parker was 57%, Kobe was 54% and Dirk was 44%. I think coach wanted to win the game.
As a side note, according to ESPN.com Amare's twenty-nine points in twenty-one minutes was the second highest ratio of any twenty point scorer in an NBA All-Star game. The record is held by Michael Jordan who scored forty points in twenty-nine minutes in 1988. Amare scored one point per 43.4 seconds and Jordan scored one point per 43.3 seconds back in 1988. Have some facts before you go bashing certain players. This isn't just aimed at you in particular but at a lot of people who were bashing the Sun's players and D' Antoni's choice of players in the second half.
although parker did a better job with this, kobe dished out the assists in the first quarter and it's not like amare wasn't trying to rack up the points thanks to the minutes his coach gave him...it's mostly for this last reason (d'antoni catering to his guys) that i'm glad kobe won
