NBA All Star Voting for 2008

by james on January 25th, 2008

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.

Normally the All Star game is not a big ticket with your intrepid author.

A game with little or no defense has a hard time holding my interest.

In fact, today’s basketball with all the rule changes towards offense has really bothered me in recent years.

But this year may be an exception. The league is just so filled with exceptional talent.

One starter in particular could become a dominant force in the NBA sooner than we think. That man would be Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic.

Hmm, may just have to tune in after all. Here are your vote getters.

The leaders of both the Eastern and Western Conference players for the second returns of the 2008 NBA All-Star voting program are attached:

KOBE BRYANT HAS TOO BE THE MOST GIFTED PLAYER OF OUR TIME….. JUST HIS WORK ETHIC ALONE PUTS HIM ON TOP, NOT TOO MENTION HIS DESIRE TOO BE A WINNER AT ALL COST. HAS THEIR EVER BEEN A PLAYER WHO CAN SCORE AT WILL WITH OR WITHOUT SOMEONE GUARDING HIM THE RESULTS ARE ALWAYS THE SAME…..2PTS OR 3POINTS. BUT SCORING IS NOT HIS STRONG POINTS. HIS COURT AWARENESS IS BY FAR HIS STRONGEST POINTS. HE UNDERSTANDS HOW DEFENSES ARE GUARDING HIM AND HE MAKES SPLIT SECOND ADJUSTMENTS THAT FAVOR HIS STYLE OF PLAY. AS FOR LABRON JAMES KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.. IN TIME HE WILL “THA MAN” BUT NOW HE IS STILL A BOY PLAYING IN A MANS GAME!
