Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Kobe is never retiring. Ever. He's going to be like Ricky Henderson who still claims that he never officially retired and would field calls from teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also replacing Barkley is crazy talk. If Kobe costs anyone on TNT their job you know it's going to be Shaq.

mcsluggo Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Kobe is damned articulate, and can be charming when he bothers. (which is in no way intended to imply that he isn't the total d-bag that he is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Kobe might actually be a fairly likable person away from the game. Some people are just ultra competitive and as long as you avoid competing with them you're good... or he could be a sociopath and well practiced at mimicking human emotions and manipulation.

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Klay and Harden were robbed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Klay and Harden were robbed Klay wasn't robbed (but he should go as a reserve). Curry and Harden were the obvious backcourt, the two front runners for MVP, head and shoulders above the rest. West frontcourt should have been Brow, Durant and Marc Gasol. If you think Durant shouldn't go because he was injured most of the season, then put Aldrich or maybe Boogie Cousins in his place. Or even Dirk. But really, Durant is the man. East should have been Wall, Butler, Lebron, Pau and Al Horford. Atlanta deserves a starter, and if it isn't Horford, then maybe Teague over Butler. By the way, nice ballot stuffing on Gortat, Wiz fans. I love the guy and I love the mohawk, but he should not have been anywhere near No. 4 in the voting. I admire your homerism (not an insult).

Kosher Ham Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 TNT apparently wants him to replace Barkley. In 2016. Barkley is the only entertaining one on the show. Pfft...Get rid of Kenny or Shaq. I agree that I never really considered him as that type of media guy. More likely to see him at the games doing color commentary.

Going Commando Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 If Kobe doesn't go, doesn't that mean Harden is the starter then? Also, if Melo doesn't go, does that mean Gortat starts? That would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Chuck and Kenny are a package deal. Neither would be as good without the other. They need to work together for the rest of their lives. Are you talking about All Star game ? Yes. East should have been Wall, Butler, Lebron, Pau and Al Horford. Atlanta deserves a starter, and if it isn't Horford, then maybe Teague over Butler. Agreed that it should be Horford (or Millsap) over Melo. But Lowry deserves his place as a starter more than Butler would. Should Chicago really get two starters and Toronto none? What hurt Horford was that he started slow and it's only been during this hot stretch over the past month that his numbers got back to AS levels. A hot start is necessary to boost the old Q score for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Gortat is more deserving of starting the AS game than either Kobe or Melo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 AS games are meaningless. That entire Wizards squad could out go and play 5 on 5 . The score would still be 136-148. AS accolades are fine the game itself is pathetic. Same with the NFL . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
