Kobe selected to All-NBA first team

Kobe was selected for the second time in his career to the All-NBA first team as he beats out Iverson for the spot. He is acompanied by team-mate Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and Tracy McGrady.

Kobe also finished 3rd place in the allstar voting. That may not be a big acomplishment, but im curious as to know what everyone has to say who thought he wouldn't even come close; those that said he is a "top 20" player and everyone who made all the degrading comments towards him. Well, he's finishing higher in all these catagories then your favorite players... what do you have to say? Do we have crooked paid off voters now? Bahahaha!

Ok comedian, we will see who gets more votes Ko_me or Iverson!!

Kobe did.

I know Czar and probably BAMMER won't give there props on a spectacular season, but what about the rest of you haters. Do you feel the guy deserves any props?

Props to everyone who made the team, to those that didn't, Duncan for winning the MVP and Garnett for making a great run at it.

Just cause he was 3rd in MVP dont make him a top 10 player!! I mean Wallace was like 7th or 8th in MVP voting and best believe he aint no top 10 player!! So what u just tried to prove, sorry but u didnt prove shit!! Your boy didnt win MVP and u are sore about it!! Accept it and move on!! Ko-Me aint winnin jack!! GOT EM!!!

Im pretty sure this is a thread about being selected to the All-NBA first team. Hold on, let me check the topic to make sure... Yeah, you need to get with the program and reply to the entire thread, not just one sub part of it. I think your just hurt that I don't care that he didn't win the award. He finished higher then I expected, that is all that matters.

 

[KINGCZAR]

Thats what I thought!! My point was made again!! GOT EM!!!

 

[WiCkEd]

you all some die hards...ha ha ha good shit....congrats to kobe even though...

 

[Alkahol_Gone]

good shit on Kobe and Shaq makin 1st team

I think Pierce shoulda made 2nd they listed him as forwrd and he's better than Webber and Nowitski

 

[Ethereal]

Thats what I thought!! My point was made again!! GOT EM!!!

Lets see, I told you.. you were off topic with your reply, that Kobe did better then expected and your pissed off about it and your reply was 'thats whats you thought'... well then, it's about time you bow down. Good shit for finally fessing up to Kobe's greatness. Now for the rest of the haters, where yall at? Your killin' your credability.

 

[WiCkEd]

is this kobe's first,i know shaq has gotten it 5 years in a row or something like that

 

[LilMoe01]

Damn just give kobe his props....i think he is in definately one of the top 10 players in the league.....He's good, why does everybody keep hatin' on him, just a question, peoples don't take this shit the wrong way.......

 

[WiCkEd]

envy and jealousy is a motherfucker...

 

[KINGCZAR]

U trippin alkahol, Pierce aint better than Webber or Nowitzki!! But he aint far off though, so thats not a bad opinion, just not a great one!! Haha!! GOT EM!!!

 

[Ethereal]

Wicked, this is Kobe's second selection.

I think Paul Pierce is under-rated to say the least. I don't know how good of a defender he is because I don't watch him play to much, but other then that he is a solid all-around player. I don't know if he is better then Nowitzki or Webber, but I wouldn't rule him out.

 

[TormentedN9NE]

paul is better than dirk, cause dirk can't play d, and he is just as good as c-webb.

Kobe makes NBA 1st defensive team

and the Laker haters say he aint shit on D

 

[MB3]

that must be a joke he even can't defend one of the best scorers in the league Bruce Bowen.

 

[KINGCZAR]

Yea I saw he made the first team, but that us a joke, I mean he is a ok defender but he got scorched alot, and both 2nd teamers Bowens & Artest are better defenders in my eyes, but fuck it he made first team!! That wont matter once they get eliminated by the Spurs and Bowens eats him alive!! GOT EM!!!

 

[Purebred Hogg]

How did Artest NOT make 1st team?He was 2nd in the league in steals with over 2 a game!!!!

 

[MB3]

yea I also thought Artest deserved to be voted into the 1st team.

 

[KINGCZAR]

I agree about Artest, but shit Iverson was like 6 or 7th in defensive player of the year voting, and he didnt make either team, but he was first in steals, and they even put Snow on the 2nd team!! But hey thats how it is sometimes!! GOT EM!!!

 

[MB3]

I was thinking the same about A.I. . How could hobe be in the first team and Iverson even wasn't in the second team. But in the defensive player of the year voting A.I. also was in front of hobe that's sum strange shit. But who cares A.I. was the best stealer of the league again for the 3rd straight year.
