I love Kobe, and it's hard to admit this is true....to an extent. He deserves to be an All-star.
While I respect your first sentence, I still disagree with the second. Each All Star team usually has 5 or 6 guards on it and these guys are all better than him this season:
Westbrook
Harden
Curry
CP3
Lillard
Thompson
And that's 6 West guards without even listing Conley and Ellis. Don't get me wrong though. I like Kobe, but I have to tell it how it is, you know? That 37% shooting is just embarrassing.
On topic: Am I the ONLY one who hates it when the big, "special" colorways are boring? ANOTHER mostly black All Star shoe? Come on, Nike. I really want and expect more flashiness and loudness from the ASG colorway.
