NJNJ Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 http://www.latimes.com/media/photo/2009-12/50897141.jpg It's December, not February. Visions of the All-Star game are the last thing dancing around Phil Jackson's head. "Why are you bringing things like that up that aren't important?" he said Friday to a reporter. The Lakers coach had been asked about the possibility of three Lakers playing in the All-Star game -- Andrew Bynum, Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant. After some pressing, Jackson said they "probably should be" part of the Western Conference team. "Andrew's playing like an All-Star center right now and has those kind of stats," he said. "We know how effective Pau's been. There's a possibility [of all three]. A slim one, but a possibility." The Lakers haven't had more than two players on the All-Star team since 1998, when Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Eddie Jones and Nick Van Exel were all selected. Bryant, an 11-time All-Star, was "a natural" to make the team, Jackson said. Bynum has never played in the game. Gasol made it last season for the first time. ---- Gonna be honest - I am kinda getting tired of the All-Star talk surrounding Bynum, Gasol, etc. Basically should be the last thing on his mind, although should of course be thought about a bit here and there. February is a long time from now, but time flies I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
