Nothing pisses me off more than athletes who make a conscious effort to try hard at all-star games. Most players seem to accept the fact that these games are an absolute joke, but it seems that not all players can come to terms with this. Usually the marginal players who don't deserve to be there try really hard, and it's just more pathetic than anything (Bosh a few years ago, Kessel this year, etc.). At the NBA all-star game this weekend though, LePussy James is the one who was trying harder than anyone else. The Western Conference had a double-digit lead on the East, when LePussy started to play like it was game 7 of the NBA Finals (Alright, well LePussy usually chokes in the playoffs anyways, so that might not be the best analogy). Here's a video of Kobe, the real King of the Throne, getting the best of LePussy. (LePussy should try and get back that fast on defence in a regular season or playoff game)
I usually hate the conventional sports ass slap, but it's funny in this situation. Kobe is letting LePussy know that he is nothing. James and his triple-double can fuck themselves, Kobe still won MVP.
Nice post my man. Enjoyed every word.
