ASG Might Be Kobe-Free


Bryant is considering skipping the mid-season classic if his pinkie finger doesn’t heal.

(And if you believe that for a second, I’ve a bridge to sell you.)

Never mind the actual game, how will the Three Point contest survive?

Sorry, you can only post a new first! once every 15 seconds. Slow down cowboy.

Is it cantilevered? If so, where is it good sir?

Kobe will win the dunk contest.

Trade Kobe to the Bucks for Dan Gadzuric and cash considerations. What? Everyone else is doing it…

Holly weeps

Holly MacKenzie says:
haha Holly does weep. Mutoni, you don’t think it’s possible for him to skip it? I think the finger is pretty bad, actually. It’s a whole week away though..Here’s hoping. ASG without my boy, Gil and Jax is not cool.

no!!!!!

Mike says:
btw KB shoulda won the skills challenge last year…although it’s fitting that it was the passing that screwed him up…

Russ Bengtson says:
Can there be an All-Star Game without Kobe? They should probably just cancel the whole weekend.

Feb.8 at 5:28 pm

white hot eboy says:
Without Mamba, the West has no chance,at all.

Krayzie Bone says:
who gets his spot: Davis or Camby? Davis seems logical, but Camby was the bigger snub (IMO)

jay says:
mutoni i guess there’s a whole bunch of people who are willing to sign the lease for the bridge.

Feb.8 at 6:24 pm

Holly MacKenzie says:
ha, Jay. What are your feelings on Kob and the game?

Feb.8 at 6:33 pm

Michael says:
Damn, an All- Star game without Shaq and Kobe. It’s like a freaking Bizzaro world.

Feb.8 at 6:43 pm

jay says:
holly i think he’ll play, its fun watching him play in the All-Star game, so relaxed yet so energized & i really wanna see how the back court of Kob and A.I works out, but ofcourse we dont want any further damage to the finger, so i have mixed feelings as of now.

Chukaz says:
Maybe they should just delay the ASG until Kobe’s pinky heals. Is an all-star game really an all-star game if Kobe doesn’t participate. They have to cancel or wait until the end of the year for the all-star game.

Holly MacKenzie says:
Jay, my favorite part is hearing them mic’d up. nothing will top the KG to Kobe oop though. Well, maybe the three falling out of bounds…Or going up against MJ in 98. or… well you get the idea! I think he’ll play…that may be wishful thinking on my part, but, Kobe’s star shines too bright for him to not be a part of the festivities!!

rand33p says:
if kobes not at the all-star game i aint watching… yes i am but it would suck

Feb.8 at 7:13 pm

Chukaz says:
This years ASG won’t fell like a freakin’ ASG. Think about it, no Vince, no T-Mac, no Shaq, no Jermaine O’neal, no Ray Allen, no Marion, and maybe no Mamba. Damn. I’m starting to feel old (and I’m 17)

Feb.8 at 7:27 pm

jay says:
great Holly now im gonna spend the rest of the time at work watching youtube videos than doing actual work. i was going to do that either way but i still blame you.

Feb.8 at 7:37 pm

Holly MacKenzie says:
hahahahaah Jay, I’ve been doing the same thing!!!! hhahah

Feb.8 at 8:46 pm

Sesa says:
Maybe he’s feeling for T-Mac. For whatever reason, both of them are like brothers.

Slim says:
Baron’s in..sweet…deserves it for sure

braby21 says:
Kobe should play in the ASG but skip the three point contest, we need more Raptor content, AP!

Feb.8 at 11:32 pm

Holly MacKenzie says:
Looks like Kobe’s finger is feeling fine…….whhooooooo that was a great win tonight.

Feb.8 at 11:34 pm

B. Long says:
I know this is off the subject, but would a T-Mac for Lamar Odom trade fit right in with the way the league is doing it right now or what! And would it even be consivibly possible if we threw in maybe Sasha or Walton?

Feb.8 at 11:49 pm

Andrew Caudwell says:
Yeah Kobe isn’t going to let the League down… Stern would be banging on his door, screaming “Pleasssse, Kobe?”

Feb.8 at 11:54 pm

Andrew Caudwell says:
And yeah Holly, that was a killer win tonight for the Lake Show… are Kobe and Pau the new Kobe and Shaq?

Feb.9 at 12:16 am

jay says:
that was a great win indeed Holly, the suns-sonics game looks tight as well. also very funny B.Long

Logan says:
Kobe will not skip the ASG Weekend Holly…the guy is a trooper…plus he played awesome tonight…so I think we can take a collective breath of relief

LAN says:

Feb.9 at 8:45 am

ak says:
Kobe was in Orlando last night. Check out his numbers:
36 pts,10 rebounds and 6 assists.
All with a hurt pinky finger! Now do you really think Kobe’s gonna miss an All Star game ’cause of a pinky finger? Please!!!!!

a_whiteman says:
T mac and vince are washed up I’m glad they won’t be in the asg it will be refreshing to watch players who ACTUALLY deserve to be there play…trade t mac for someone that way houston can make it to may lol

Feb.9 at 3:59 pm

damascus says:
man it will be weird to watch a all-star game without kobe….. it wont be that fun to watch…. man kobe please play!!!!…. jus dont do to much

Feb.10 at 4:54 pm

bendover says:
he might not play in the game but he will still be there. he cant turn that down. i hope he plays though it would be very awkward without kobe.

Feb.10 at 9:02 pm

Dacre says:
I think the allstar game will be sufficiently represented by flashy big sg/sf types that continually take the ball to the hoop in a bid to pass at the last moment and LOOK unselfish: McGrady
B.Davis
A.Iverson
C.Anthony
