Kobe Bryant on Jeremy Lin

[Ronin]

[christian1923]

Kobe is pompous and arrogant

[bmulls]

Kobe's just trying to act tough. He knows exactly who Jeremy Lin is because he seems him in his nightmares.

[SAKOTXA]

He won't be laughing after Lin drops 30 on us. :oldlol:

[Nick Young]

GOATbe DA BASED GAWD MAMBA putting lin in his place.

Linsanity might one day ascend to Kobe status, but he still has a ways to go.

[inclinerator]

wat did he say at the end?

[gyu]

Not sure why he is trying to belittle Jeremy, maybe he's annoyed with how much attention Jeremy + Knicks have been getting.

[Eric Cartman]

Kobe has to know what has been going on with Lin. He just brushed it off. Maybe in his standards what he has done isn't news worthy.

[JohnnyWall]

I don't know who Lin is either. Not sure why everyone's going bananas over some bench player that has a couple good games after years of being invisible.

Don't act like you don't know John, he broke your ankles 2 nights ago. I know you're still icing them bitches

he's actually a kobe ******ger

[longtime lurker]

Don't see the big dael. Kobe said he knows who he is but doesn't know what he's done over the past few games. I don't think it's unreasonable to think that he hasn't been keeping track of Lin's stats

:confusedshrug:

[Nick Young]

mamba doesnt respect stats, only rings:rockon:

[Scholar]

If Kobe is being serious about not knowing what Lin is doing, I'm disappointed. That just shows that KB24 doesn't pay much attention to his competition. Shame, Kobe, shame...

Where is Kendrick Perkins with the "elite players" shit when you need it?

[ThatsGame]

Kobe WILL know, after tonight.

[AirTupac]

Kobe doesn't spend his time watching every game and shit. Lin had 3 good games and you expect Kobe to know everything about him? Knit picking at its finest.

[dirkdiggler41]

Of course he knows who he is. The guy just watched scouting videos of the Knicks.

Nobody expects him to watch every game, you just hear from word of mouth, sports news, tv, etc. He's all over the place and you're telling me Kobe didn't hear a thing?

3 games only, not much time to hear about him, especially if your Kobe Bryant...

[gyu]

3 games only, not much time to hear about him, especially if your Kobe Bryant...
Yes it is only 3 games but maybe you don't even realize how much attention Jeremy's been getting. Go on NBA.com who is there? Jeremy, Go on sports.yahoo.com/nba who is there? Jeremy Go on espn.go.com/nba/ who is there? You guessed it, Jeremy.
Youtube video of Jeremy crossing John Wall, almost 1.5 million views already.
Twitter everybody's tweeting about him especially Spike.
His facebook fan page went from ~50,000 to +150,000.
Fantasy basketball league went from 0% owned to 99.6% owned

I don't have any tv channels that show NBA or NBA news regularly, but I'm sure it is no different.

If insidehoops is telling the truth (and I don't see why he would lie about it) about Metta wanting his son to be like Jeremy, I'm sure he has brought up Jeremy's latest accomplishments in the locker room.

[Soundwave]

:oldlol: Good for Kobe.

[AirTupac]

He's obviously heard of him, but Kobe doesn't go on NBA.com, yahoo, espn or youtube. The guy is traveling everyday , training, working out etc. He doesn't have as much time as you think to be looking up NBA videos / news...

Yes I know he probably doesn't visit websites but I said on tv it's probably no different.
Lots of players around the league watch games on their off days or even before their own games I don't see it being any different for Kobe.

[Myth]

Kobe doesn't spend his time watching every game and shit. Lin had 3 good games and you expect Kobe to know everything about him? Knit picking at its finest.

I would agree with you if it weren't for the Lakers playing the Knicks tonight. Elite players should be putting in the dedication to gameplan. If Kobe honestly doesn't know what Lin has been doing the last few games, then Kobe is slacking in the preparation department. And since Kobe usually seems dedicated and prepared, I'm leaning more towards this being him arrogant (kind of reminiscent of the "who is this guy?" statements towards Raja Bell).

I agree with you there, he probably didn't know much about him beforehand but seeing as they play the Knicks today, he learned about Lin but downplay'd it anyways.

[Maneva]

The dude's going through a huge divorce and is on a long roadtrip in a condensed schedule with a troubled team. He's got a lot on his plate so I'm actually not too surprised that he hasn't been following Lin's last 3 games. This isn't a big deal.

[G-Funk]

That's like asking Zeus about Achilles

[dunksby]

Poisonous as a Black Mamba!

[Lebron23]

Kobe WILL know, after tonight.


He's now a Witness.

[Ronin]

hopefully Knicks win and we get to see a post game interview of Kobe

[Reverend Hoops]

LOL @ Kobe's reaction during the interview.

Basketball is Kobe's life. He probably doesn't use computers and still has a pager.

[gyu]

Somebody tell Kobe he's an all star or he might skip the game :rolleyes:

[Lebron23]

Remember the name. Jeremy "The Dragon" Lin aka the best Asian Player in the NBA right now.

[SAKOTXA]

He won't be laughing after Lin drops 30 on us. :oldlol:
27 with 13 minutes left to play.

I'm good.

[Cali Syndicate]

Remember the name. Jeremy "The Dragon" Lin aka the best Asian Player in the NBA right now.

And the sample size is like half a dozen?

Lin doesn't seem like he's gonna fade out anytime soon.

[SAKOTXA]

27 with 13 minutes left to play.

I'm good.
34 and counting.

[theaussieguy]

what a beast, holy sh!t this guy is legit

yea i rhyme

[miller-time]

kobe on the floor lol

[Rameek]

Kobe knows now.

[LoneyROY7]

I wonder what Kobe thinks now.

[maybeshewill13]

Hahahaha backfired on Kobe hard. Maybe he shoot take some shooting lessons from Lin?

[Ronin]

someone ask him about lin now!

[TheAesirsFinest]

The thing that cracks me up the most is this:


[Asked again about Lin] "I don't even know what the [fudge] is going on. What the [fudge] is going on? Who is this kid? I've heard about him and stuff like that, but what's he been doing? Is he getting like triple doubles or some [stuff]? He's averaging 28 and eight? No [stuff]. If he's playing well, I'll just have to deal with him."
[Would he consider guarding Lin?] "Jesus Christ. Let's not get ahead of ourselves."


:roll:

[bmulls]

"Who the f*ck is Kobe Bryant?"
-Jeremy Lin

[maybeshewill13]

"Who the f*ck is Kobe Bryant?"
-Jeremy Lin

LOL!

[strifed169]

Al Thornton just slammed Kobe on twitter saying "now you know WTF Lin is ****"

[Heavincent]

lol at people acting surprised. You guys didn't know Lin would light up old man Fisher? C'mon now. I saw this coming from a mile away.

[bmulls]

Kobe never even said he didn't know who Jeremy Lin is. He plays in the west coast, he doesn't have time to know what every team in the league is doing. By the way, every PG tends to have career highs against the likes of Fisher and Blake. We have had the elite ones do it, the scrubs do it. It is what it is. Anyways, glad this is the last we have to hear of this nonsense.

If you don't love what Lin is doing you are a sad, miserable person. Just go kill yourself.

he also gave it to steve blake.

who is a giant ***** for hesitating on that 3 at the end btw

[LBJMVP]

kobe guarded lin as well. plus he was getting doubled teamed.
no matter who you are scoring 38 on 50%+ shooting is impressive.

[Reverend Hoops]

I was more impressed with what he did against Wall.

[DCL]

story doesnt get anymore unbelievable. Undrafted asian dude from harvard who was warming the bench last year and didnt even have a damn team in the beginning of the season just torched up kobe and the lakers with 38.

[StateOfMind12]

Lin was torching all the Lakers perimeter players, Blake, Fisher, Kobe, Barnes, Lin even torched Gasol.

Lin is just a beast and I honestly do think he is better than Rubio but I guess people will have to see for themselves tomorrow in their head to head matchup tomorrow.

[RaininTwos]

they are salty and lmao at spike lee's tweet.:roll:


YO LA,I Betcha Kobe Knows Who Jeremy Lin is NOW. JLin Sliced And Diced Ya ASS FOR 38. Jeremy "Stop Asian Profi-" Lin.And Dat's Da Truth,Ruth-spike lee

What Lin is doing? This is the first and probably last game of Jeremy Lin I've seen. He's not someone who's on my radar unless his team is playing the Lakers. He played great tonight, as most PGs tend to do against Fisher and Blake. It's just that most Lakers players and their fans don't really watch every Knicks game to know "what he's doing"...not sure why that's so difficult to comprehend for the imbeciles like you.

This. Lin was getting guarded by almost every Lakers.

Fish, Blake, Kobe, Barnes, Metta and even Pau guarded him.

lol you negged me?

This is an amazing underdog story playing out in real life right in front of us and people like you still have negative things to say. Some people are unbelievable :facepalm

:cheers: Beat me to it. Lin was absolutely shitting on the entire Laker squad.

[RazorBaLade]

yeah i dont think someone switching on the guy for 10 seconds is a full blown defensive strategy and a guy deciding to guard him.

Fish blake and maybe barnes had him... thats about it

[Kiarip]

honestly from the interview it looks like he really hasn't been following it... I mean it was right after the celtics game, not right before the knicks game

[InfiniteBaskets]

Spike Lee has done nothing but tweet about Lin in the past days and especially past few hours lol

i watched plays were jeremy lin brought the ball up and kobe was on him...
dude even sized up gasol at one point.

[DMV2]

Oh, let's not forget that opening 3-pointer Lin got on Bynum either. Right in Drew's grills. :pimp:

[Allstar24]

No, I got better things to do than "neg" people...

If it is an underdog story, good for him. As I said, he played great tonight but I still don't know anything about him. I watch the Knicks twice a year, when they play the Lakers...that's as far as my interest in them goes. I don't see how that's being negative, that's just being honest. Whatever, don't care enough about this to reply any further, bye.

[LA_Showtime]

That was fun to watch. Lin seems like a good guy and you can tell he's well-liked by teammates and fans. I'm not sure he'll be able to keep putting up these types of numbers, but he does seem to bring intangibles to the Knicks that they've sorely been lacking.

[mikek85]

hahaha, Spike Lee is pretty hilarious. He's got like ADD hehehehe.

[TOUCH MY BODY]

What a great game to watch. Who would have ever imagined a Kobe vs Lin matchup. No one could have ever scripted a story like this.

This is why I love sports. I wish the kid nothing but the best :rockon:

He's making the Knicks fun to watch again. He and Chandler make the Knicks likeable again. :lol

[Troutfisch]

Looking forward to the media hounding Kobe after this game about Lin - can't wait to see what he thinks of the kid now...:D

Jeremy "My name is what you're google" Lin

[worldbefree]

anyone remember when Raja Bell called kobe out and kobe said "who is this kid"?

kobe is knucklehead

[Lebron23]

38 points againts the LA Lakers. Lin might become a future NBA All star next season.
