The first returns for the 2008 NBA All-Star game, and our very own Kobe Bryant leads the West in total votes. Yeah, leads the West… he has more votes than Yao Ming. Believe it.
No other Lakers are anywhere to be seen. Lamar has been outvoted by Luis Scola.

Andrew Bynum needs to be on here!! Dam…
Not Erick Dampier!! He doesn’t have anything on Bynumite!!!
Bynum for All Star 2008! Support our Lakers future once the votes for All star starts.
Where is Andrew Bynum??
Guys, Bynum was left off of the ballot for the 2nd straight year. Last year they had put Mihm there! This year we have no one.
As for Lamar… he’d better put up some career nights between now and selection time, otherwise he’ll have that star on his head for another year.
Bynum won’t make the all star team, even if he was on the ballot because there are too many talent forwards/Centers in teh west. Duncan, Stoudamire, Nowitzki, Mello, Howard, Yao (who has a pretty big population in china to back him up), to name a few.
Kobe should be leading EVERYONE. Respect to KG but Kobe should not be outvoted by LeBron in my opinion
where is deron williams? thats so stupid, jerry stackhouse and not him..even though im not a big fan of him he deserves it
