Kobe to fans: Don’t vote me to All-Star team
- Updated: January 6, 2014
LOS ANGELES (AP) — While Kobe Bryant heals from his latest injury, he has an unusual message for the fans who select the NBA All-Star game’s starters: Don’t vote for me.
After playing just six games in an injury-plagued season, the Los Angeles Lakers’ 15-time All-Star guard is hoping fans elect younger, more deserving players to start next month’s showcase in New Orleans.
“Even though there’s so much respect that comes from me to be able to play for the fans, I’d much rather see the young guys go out there and play in the game,” Bryant said before the Lakers faced Denver on Sunday night. “They’ve obviously put the work in to be there that weekend, so I’d much rather see them go in there and participate.”
Bryant also gave a small update on his recovery from a broken bone near his left knee. He is riding a stationary bike to stay in shape while the bone heals, but must exercise patience with several weeks likely to go.
“I’m pretty restricted in terms of what I can do,” Bryant said. “So I’m just staying on the bike, keeping it moving and going, keeping the legs strong.”
