EL SEGUNDO – Kobe Bryant was selected by fans as a starter for the 2016 NBA All-Star Game in Toronto it was announced today, his 18th selection (2nd-most all-time) and record-setting 18th consecutive time as an All-Star. Bryant was the leading vote-getter for the fourth time in his career (also 2003, 2011, and 2013) and will be named a starter for the 16th time, the most in NBA All-Star Game history.

A four-time All-Star MVP in 2002, 2007, 2009, and 2011 (tied with Bob Pettit for most all-time), Bryant holds All-Star Game records for most points scored (280), most field goals made (115), and most steals (37, tied with Michael Jordan). In his very first All-Star Weekend in 1997, Bryant became the youngest slam dunk champion at 18 years old.

Bryant, who announced he would be retiring from basketball at the end of the season, has earned numerous accolades over the span of his 20-year career - all spent with the Lakers franchise, the most in NBA history. A five-time NBA Champion, Bryant was selected as the NBA MVP in 2007-08 and won the NBA Finals MVP award in 2009 and 2010. Bryant earned All-NBA honors 15 times and has been named to the NBA’s All-Defensive Team 12 times. Internationally, the 37-year-old led the United States to gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2012 Olympics in London.

LeBron: I don't think we're a great team right now

LeBron James continued his barrage of the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, with the four-time MVP still clearly upset after the team's blowout loss to the Golden State Warriors on Monday.

"I think we're a good team," LeBron said to CBSSports' Ken Berger. "But I don't think we're a great team right now. We've got to continue to get better. I really think it's absurd to think about May and June; it's not guaranteed, man."

While Cleveland has done an excellent job against weaker teams, they have struggled with the good ones, posting a combined record of 2-5 against the top three teams in both conferences.

Although the Cavaliers have never struggled to score the ball this season, their play on the other end isn't as strong, particularly of late, sitting 18th in defensive rating (104.2) in January.

"Very ugly to watch," LeBron added. "... Offensively, I don't think we were that bad. Defensively, we were a little behind. … We were a couple of steps behind, and against a team like that, it's like being a couple of steps behind a Patriots team right now. They're gonna make you pay; you can't do that."

At 28-11, the Cavaliers are still in a much better place than they were in 2014-15, when they took the Warriors to six games in the Finals despite starting the year 19-20.

With a home game against the San Antonio Spurs set at the end of the month, LeBron and Co. will be given another opportunity to prove they can hang with the game's elite.

Curry won't sit, but 'annoying' shin injury will take 4 weeks to heal

For CHEAP ,FAST and RELIABLE FIFA16 COINS and NBA2K16 MT COINS head over to: Vbgamecoins.com AND USE "VBGAMECOINS5" FOR 5% OFF DISCOUNT

According to what Golden State Warriors trainers have told Stephen Curry, his bruised left shin will take four weeks to heal completely.

He doesn't plan to sit.

"I'm not going to sit out four weeks," Curry said Tuesday night, according to ESPN's Ethan Sherwood Strauss. "So just got to figure out how to protect it while I'm out on the floor and keep playing. We've done a good amount and just had a couple unlucky plays, and we'll keep addressing it."

Questions came up about the shin after the reigning NBA MVP briefly left the Warriors' 109-88 thumping of the Los Angeles Lakers Tuesday.

Curry departed after bumping his leg against the Lakers' Roy Hibbert. He had it looked at on the bench, then returned to the contest. He was taken out for good with the Dubs up 30 in the fourth quarter. After the game, Curry admitted the injury is irritating, but not something he's overly concerned about.

"It's just frustrating and annoying and any other adjective you want to throw in there," he said. "Long term, it's not something that I'll have to worry about. It's just playing through an injury that's there. It doesn't get worse if I play on it, unless I get kicked, and that's happened three times since I did it."

"It's a magnet," Curry said of his shin. "But I'll be all right."

Curry suffered the original injury in a Dec. 28 win over the Sacramento Kings, and as a result missed consecutive games for the first time since November 2013. He left Saturday's victory against the Denver Nuggets after being hit in the same spot.

"I wasn't going to put him back out there at first, but he was pretty adamant about it," Warriors interim coach Luke Walton said about Curry in Tuesday's game. "I played with a guy like that," added Walton, referring to Kobe Bryant.

In three games since sustaining the injury, Curry is averaging 17.3 points in 24 minutes, on a 40 percent 3-point stroke.

VIDEO: Kobe Bryant believes in you

Kobe Bryant will have a great deal of free time on his hands once he retires as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers following the 2015-16 campaign.

Could the "Black Mamba" turn himself into a "Life Coach" for his post-basketball career?

Even if you don't believe in yourself, just take solace in knowing that the five-time NBA champion believes in you:


Okay. Maybe Bryant doesn't believe in you. Maybe he believes in Roy Hibbert.

Which wasn't always the case, by the way:

Jeremy Lin almost didn't survive Kobe Bryant's last trip to Time Warner Cable Arena.

The retiring Los Angeles Laker tried to block the Charlotte Hornets' guard shot, and almost took his spiky-haired head in the process.

Let's take a closer look at Lin on the precipice of death:

No Stephen Curry, no problem.

The Golden State Warriors got back on track following their drubbing at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks with a 114-110 victory over the Houston Rockets on New Year's Eve.

Klay Thompson followed up a miserable 4-of-15 shooting performance Friday with a blistering 38-point performance to counteract James Harden's 30 for the floundering Rockets.

It was clear from the get-go that Thompson and Harden had a score to settle. Thompson proclaimed himself as the league's best shooting guard last week and Harden - who fashions himself as the league's best player - stormed out of the gates with two 3-pointers in the first six minutes.

Harden also goaded Thompson into two quick fouls, but the Splash Brother convinced his head coach to leave him in. Thompson rewarded that decision with four straight baskets as part of a 17-point opening frame.

With Thompson picking up the scoring slack in Curry's absence, Draymond Green assumed the reigning league MVP's role of playmaker. Green racked up 12 assists in the first half before finishing with a career-high 16 as part of a 10-point, 11-rebound triple-double effort in 38 minutes.

Green leads the league with five triple doubles this season.

The game remained close throughout, and the Warriors kept their cool despite missing four rotation players. They beat up on the Rockets' bench behind sixth man Andre Iguodala's hyper-efficient, 20-point outing (on 6-of-7 shooting from the floor). They also did a tremendous job of beating the Rockets on the offensive glass (12-4).

Houston made it a three-point game with five minutes to go after Harden dropped in a short fadeaway, but the Warriors' fourth-ranked defense clamped down and didn't allow another basket until after the game was well out of reach.

The nail in the coffin came courtesy of Harden's notoriously poor defense. Harden pounded the rock for an entire possession only to miss an awkward 21-foot step-back jumper, then failed to track back on defense which allowed Iguodala to push the lead to five after Green tossed a picture-perfect, hit-ahead pass for his 16th assist.

Golden State's victory closes the book on a near-perfect calendar year that includes a championship and a Jordan-esque 72-12 record between two regular seasons.

The Warriors finish 2015 with a 72-12 (.857) record, the second-best winning percentage in a calendar year in NBA history.
