Kobe Bryant’s All-Star Game Votes Dwarf LeBron James, Steph Curry’s Totals
Griffin has been the Clippers’ single best player on the season, but fortunately the recent resurgence of Chris Paul, who had been battling injuries of his own, will help cover for Blake’s absence. Russell finished with 16 points.

Bryant announced on November 29 that he will retire after this season, his 20th in the National Basketball Association (NBA). These games will be the first Griffin misses this season.
For the Clippers, however, it will be at least two weeks without their All-Star forward, at which time he’ll be reevaluated.
Bryant, a 17-time All-Star and five-time champion with the Los Angeles Lakers, is shooting only 34.4 percent from the field.
“There’s a little mixed emotions, honestly”, Bryant said via ESPN.com who now leads all National Basketball Association scorers for Christmas games with a total of 383 points. Derrick Rose led the Bulls with 25 points, including nine in the fourth quarter, but had a key turnover before getting called for a five-second violation when Chicago had a chance to tie in the final seconds. The Lakers trailed 74-57 with 4:10 left in the third quarter when he left the game for good.
Laker rookie forward Larry Nance Jr. batted a rebound into the Clippers basket in the first quarter, with DeAndre Jordan credited with the basket.
“I mean, I’m so used to playing on Christmas”. He also coached the Celtics on Christmas every year from 2008 through 2013….
“So if our guys can continue to progress this nicely, then, obviously, in March I think those guys will be playing extremely well”.
It’s not surprising even in this diminished state, basically, that Bryant has more votes for February’s All-Star Game than any other player. “I just don’t want to do it cold turkey right now”. “It hurts.”… F Paul Pierce has played on Christmas Day for four different teams in the past four years, including Boston, Brooklyn and Washington.
“I remember when we were losing, they played that Journey song and the whole arena started singing”, Bryant said after scoring 12 points in the Lakers’ 94-84 loss to the Clippers. He plays for the Lakers…Almost the same thing…
The drive to succeed is fueled by the fact that Curry got no major scholarship offers coming out of high school, he was the third point guard taken in the 2009 draft and he settled for a below-market contract extension three years ago because people questioned his durability following ankle injuries.

The 2016 NBA All-Star Game in Toronto would be Bryant’s 18th in his 20 seasons in the league, and he is second behind former Lakers and Bucks great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s 19 appearances.
