Kobe Making First Team Over Westbrook Will be a Travesty.

[iNad925]

They need to get rid of the center designation this season, especially since we're pretty much approaching a league based on "position-less" basketball.

My first team looks like Chris Paul, Westbrook, Kobe, Durant, and LeBron. Or since the Lakers may not even make the playoffs, you could always replace Kobe with Melo or Wade.

not even a single mention of Harden eh? Look at the scrub squad Harden is leading...for me Harden has to make it to first team simply based on the fact that replacing harden with Westbrook or Kobe and Houston is not going to be where it is right now.

Gotta give the people what they want. The people love rapists

Kobe has

• 
  [*]a better shooting percentage

Wow... so Kobe actually has a better shooting percentage than someone not names Allen Iverson

Edit: Damn!
Kobe is damn near his career best in fg% this year at 46.2%. Guess he hasnt fallen off that far afterall.
Or is he just taking better/smarter shots in the late stage of his career?

Nah, I'm mentioning Tony Parker before I mention Harden anyway.

Wade should be first team with CP3

Parker and Russy 2nd team

Kobe and Harden 3rd team

jesus christ....

Wade should be first team with CP3

Parker and Russy 2nd team

Kobe and Harden 3rd team

Wade's been up and down this year with the surgically repaired knee. Still manages 22 ppg and 50% shooting at 31 tho so he's still among the elite players.

Problem is he can barely jump these days.

 

[RedBull]

The Lakers have been hit with injuries, and a coaching change this year. But still their 2 best players Kobe and Dwight have played the lionshare of games this season. Their record should be a lot better than what it is.

The bulls haven't had Rose all year and our record is better than the lakers, and our 2nd best player Noah has been out the past few weeks. Not to mention R.I.P being Hurt, Marco being out, Taj being out, Deng battling injuries etc...

To be fair, you're really going to compare the Bulls who have been playing together for YEARS under the same system and core players to the Lakers who have a new crop of INJURED players, on their 3rd coach and playing in a system that doesnt fit the team? No comparison.

I ride wit Wade and TP but Harden need that spot. What he has done as the lone superstar >>>>>> anybody .Kobe and Dwight alone shouldve been alright for at least a 5th seed. Injuries happen everyday B . Then again, i give blame D'Antoni most of the blame for not utilizing his roster correctly.

 

[RedBull]

Harden deserves that spot, especially if LA doesnt make the playoffs. Can't give it Wade because he isnt even the leader of his own team and it really doesnt make a huge difference if he plays, as long as Lebron plays the Heat will be great. Harden is the main reason why the Rockets are in that position.

 

[Regular_P]

Right now, my first team would be:

Kobe
Wade
Durant
LeBron
Carmelo (really wanted to put Duncan here)

2nd team:

Paul
Parker
Westbrook
Harden
Duncan

3rd:

Curry
Williams
George
Horford
Dwight

(3rd team is tough to make).

I don't think they should be using position when determining the teams. They've gone away from it before.

 

[Hammer]

are people serious with putting wade on the first team?

 

[intruder]

3rd:

Horford
.

I'm a big fan of Horford but I'm not sure about this. I could think of several other PFs ahead of Horford.


Since when did all NBA teams depend on team success? And why is every team only have wing players (PG,SG and SF) all the sudden?

 

[Brozay]

Why are people putting Wade over Westbrook?

 

[Da_Eggman]

its a meaningless accolade kobe hasnt deserved it in years but what is a bigger disgrace is him getting first team defense

its the same as Jeter getting gold gloves when hes the worst defensive ss in baseball

 

[Luke Cage]

Right now, my first team would be:

CP3
Harden
Durant
LeBron
Duncan

2nd team:

Parker
Wade
Melo
Aldrige
Dwight
