If Tmac could not beat 20 year old Kobe, then what makes you think he would have a chance with prime 25 year old Kobe?

How can ANYBODY say J.R. Smith or Jamal Crawford deserve to make the all-star team when JAMES HARDEN didn't even make it last year?

Billy Hunter, the executive director of the NBPA, may be dealing with the biggest threat to his job since he took over in 1996.
According to a report from Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, Hunter never actually got the approval of the NBPA's player representatives for his latest contract extension, a five-year deal worth $15 million that he signed in 2010.
If the report is correct, Hunter would have violated the NBPA constitution, seriously jeopardizing his status as one of the most powerful men in the sport.
There has been widespread dissatisfaction throughout the union with the manner in which Hunter handled negotiations with David Stern and the NBA's owners during the last lockout, while his business practices with union finances, particularly in connection to members of his immediate family, have been under the microscope as well.
Hunter has so far been able to resist any attempts at his ouster, but it remains to be seen what the NBA rank and file will make of this latest development.

Report: Even after Hunter was warned by outside counsel that his contract was not proper, he still failed to raise matter with player reps.

Crawford and JR are not gonna be All-star I can guarantee it. I'm kinda surprised most of the TNT dudes voted Jennings over Irving though. I really think Irving has played a lot better than Jennings this yr.
