Kobe, Keep your mouth shut
Thursday, December 16, 2004
Dear Kobe:
Hey, buddy. How ya doing? My name is Jason Whitlock. I'm a 37-year-old sports fan and sports writer. We've never formally met; and, to be quite honest, I've never really liked you. I'm a Shaq guy. The Big Diesel just always seemed more real than you. I didn't like the way you treated Shaq. Yes, he could be a bit lazy, and he should've reported to camp in better shape. But Shaq is a good guy; and had you shown him the proper respect, he would've given you the respect you wanted.

Why I can't root for Kobe
Updated Jun 3, 2010 6:37 PM ET
I’ve forgiven Kobe for snitching on Shaq and failing to recognize his young wife was just pushing his buttons when she insisted The Mailman was “hunting little Mexican girls.”
Rape allegations and the prospect of prison bring out the Mitch Bade tendencies in men much harder than millionaire athletes.

Even real Lakers fans know Kobe is part of the problem. Most of my friends are Lakers fans (sad, but true), and they have no problem calling Kobe out for his low % shot jacking this year. Of course, Kobe isn't the only problem, and anyone who thinks Bynum is going to carry them to a title is delusional.

reminds me of Reporters and forum posts back in the late 80's and 90's about Air Jordan!
Mar 29 1990, 5:20 pm:
Scottie Pippen and John Paxson seem to be the only Bulls'
players who don't look towards Jordan before taking a shot themselves !
It seems to me that Jordan intimidates his teammates more than he
intimidates his opponents. That is prob the biggest difference
between Magic and Jordan ! Why is it that guys like Orlando
Woolridge, James Edwards .. . start playing well when they play
for the Lakers/Pistons/Celts while decent/good prospects rarely pan
out for the Bulls ? [Ed Lor recently posted an excellent article on
this issue]. The Bulls lack a player who can get the
whole team involved in the game.
Before the 1996 season began
Michael Jordan is not the best player to play game. In fact he was always
an overatted player. The only reason his PPG was so high was he is such
a BALLHOG. He is always taking contested double team shots insted of
passing to open teammates. Sure he hit a couple of great shots to win
series(Cleavland), but if he wasn't such a BALLHOG he wouldn't had to
take the game winning shots. This year just proves my point, his first
game back he takes 30 SHOTS???? Come on, he isn't that good, if anyone
should have been taking 30 shots that game, it should have been Reggie
Miller. He may have won three championships, but the 3 teams the Bulls
beat weren't that great. The Lakers were at the end of their Showtime
era and without Kareem and with Vlade when they were beet by the bulls.
The Portland Trail Blazers were show-stoppers either, the best team they
may have beaten was Phoenix. I would have liked to seen them beat some of
the Celtic, Laker, and Piston teams of the 1980's in finals.
^ change the name Jordan to Kobe and the teams played and it sounds identical to Kobe
Bill Feb 26 1991, 11:18 pm:
Jordan is a great outside shooter. He scores more points off the
jumper than by driving. I think if someone is willing to play
zone against Jordan and give him 3 points for a 21' jump shot,
he'll have no trouble getting his points. I realize Jordan
has indicated he doesn't plan to play but the idea that Jordan
couldn't score against a zone is ridiculous.
>However, Jordan should learn to give up the ball sometimes. If Dominique
>can do it this year, I am sure Jordan can do it too.
I realize Dominique has become more unselfish this year. If you
think Jordan doesn't ever give the ball up, I have to wonder if
you ever watch him play. He averages 5.7 assist a game. It is
hard to get credit for an assist without giving up the ball.
5.7 assists is a respectable number for a 2 guard. Especially
a 2 guard that averages 30.9 ppg and shoots 54.4% from the
field. Passing for its own sake is not the point. A guard
should only pass to get a higher percentage shot for his team.
Jordan doesn't force many shots.
I am sick and tired of reading disgusting newsposts that jock jordon.
jordon is not a good player, and the bulls are not a good team,and this
is why:
Best Current NBA Players:
1)Patrick EWing: Ewing is a better defender than Jordan, has better moves,
gets more rebounds,blocks, and doesn't ballhog the ball, Ewing is a team
palyer.
2)Grant Hill- Grant Hill is better than jordon and has better moves.
Grant is better offensively and defensively, and likes to pass the ball
around. Grant Hill is an annual threat to be the scoring leader.
3)Glenn Robinson- Robison is a better scorer than Jordan , and a better
defender. When Robison plays against the foolish bulls, he makes jordon
foolish and weak and makes jordon whimper about not having team support
and good team chemistry. If Glenn played during the preseason last year,
he would have had developed his skills much better and would have
challenged for the scoring title.Due to contract negotiations , that
didn't happen, but it will happen in the near future and jordan will
never again become the scoring leader.
4)Jerry Stackhouse- Jerry is quicker and has better moves than jordon,
and if given enough playing time will rank high in the NBA leaders in
scoring and field goal percentage.
5)Juwon Howard- Howard is a team player, unlike Jordan, with his
scoring,rebounding and passing.
6)Chris Webber- Webber is a very,very,much better all-round player than
jordan with his sccoring,rebounding,assists,steals,and blocks, and
should be high up there in NBA scoring leaders.
7)Hakeem Olajuwon-Hakeem is better than jordon and is much quicker.He
plays better defense,and rebounds and PASSES well, and blocks shots.Last
season, Hakeem had a higher scoring average that jordon.
8)Joe Smith- Smith has better scoring talents than jor-done and is a
better defender.
9)Anfernee Hardaway- Penny is quicker and better than jor-done ,passes
the ball, and rebounds better. Last season in the playoffs, Penny
dominated jordone and the bullies.
10)Shaquille O'neal- enough said.
11)Rasheed Wallace- Rasheed has better passing,scoring,and rebounding
skills than jor-done.
12)Karl Malone-Karl is a more consistent scorer than jor-done, and is
great in rebounding.
13)Derrick Coleman-Coleman is poised for a big season, and will display
much more of his unlimited potential and make jor-done look clumsy and
foolish.
14)Latrell sprewell- Spree has better scoring talents than jor-done, and
if he didn't have great scorers on his tem such as Chris Mullin and Tim
Hardaway and etc., he could have averaged 30 ppg this season and do it
year after year.
15)Shwan Kemp- Kemp has a better power game than jor-done and is great in
passing,rebounding,stealing and shooting.
16)David Robinson-Robinson had a higher ppg average last season than
jor-done and a much better field goal percentage.
the list goes on and on, so don't count on jor-done as being the best
player because there are better players than him.
Best NBA Teams:
1)The SUPERKNICKERBOCKERS are the best team in the NBA. They have the
best defensive,rebounding,scoring, and clutch play skills, and are very
underrated. The referees don't like their style of play because the
Knicks' style makes a winning combination and makes other teams suffer
and lose, so the referees are hard on the Knicks and make many unfair calls.
2)Orlando Magic is a better team than Chicago and will crush them year
after year in the playoffs.
3)Detroit Pistons ,led by the great Grant Hill, will be a much better
defending and scoring team and will slaughter the Bullies this season.
4)Golden State Warriors have future scoring champion Joe Smith,Spree,
Mullin, and Hardaway.Oh man Imagine what the bench is like.If the Bulls
ever cross their path , the bulls will suffer much.
5)Houston Rockets are defending champions and have many weapons, such as
three-pointers,rebounding, scoring, and defense, which are beyond
comparison when trying to compare them to the bull's weak weapons.
6)Washington Bullets-Mark Price? The vastly improved Gheorghe Muresan?
Juwan Howard? Future rebounding and scoring champion CHRIS WEBBER? Who
else? The bulls and jor-done certainly have big trouble.
7)Dallas Mavericks- Future scoring champs Jim Jackson and Jamal Mashburn?
Improved rebounder Popeye Jones? Improved point guard Jason Kidd?- who is
better than Magic Johnson? Look for them to sweep the bulls this season.
There are other teams that are better than the bulls, but these teams
aforementioned are the most powerful. So the Bulls aren't going anywhere
this season, and jor-done will remain hungry for another title for the
rest of his ballhogging career, and should retire because he can never be
the alltime career leader in anything because Shaquille O'neal has the
potential to be the all time leader in points scored and probably
rebounding, Mutombo in blocks, Jason Kidd in assists, John Stockton in
steals, Mark Price in free throws made, and Glenn Robinson, Grant Hill,
Shaquille O'neal or Kevin Garnett in alltime NBA Highest career scoring
average. So, before the 95-96 season begins, it can be said that
jor-done and the bulls are finished and will lose more than gain, and
jordon should retire because his career scoring average is going to dip
below 30ppg because there are better defenders than him and quicker
players than him. John Starks, the greatest shooting guard in history,
will make jordon look foolish and weak, and make jordon to miss most of
his shots.

So let me get this straight, a declining top 10 player of all time should step aside for a 24 year old kid with immaturity issues and recent injury concerns? As great as Bynum has played this season he doesn't put in the effort night in and night out to be the #1 player in the game. He can do it for stretches and he probably will but in no way does that make him the best option.

The thing I find so hilarious about this is a young, immature Kobe tried to hijack the 2001 Lakers team from Shaq right after Shaq had one of the best seasons of all-time winning MVP and Finals MVP. And Shaq wasn't even aging. He was in his prime lol.
Now Kobe is kind of going through the same ordeal but doesn't want to hand over the reins when he probably should for the good of the team and Bynum's development.

Kobe isnt a top 10 player of all time but to answer the question Dont think he means step aside but Means maybe Defer more to Gasol and Bynum and feed them instead of shot jacking to pad his stats so he can lead the league in scoring.. Wouldn't be abad idea for Kobe's scoring to drop to 20 ppg and Gasol and Bynum to go up in scoring..

And I don't care if he's biased. Sam Smith is biased against MJ, but that doesn't mean his book is a pack of lies. Get over yourself. You're the most biased mf on the web and love to talk discredit everyone else because of their bias. Everyone is biased to some degree. Doesn't mean that Kobe isn't a selfish, arrogant, chemistry killing, MJ wannabe that desperately wants to play hero every game. It's true. Everyone can admit it.

Thats why I have Kareem/Magic/Wilt as my top 3 in that they didn't need to be "the man" to win, which I personally believe is flaw, but jordan and kobe nut huggers look at as a positive.
This is why you airball your layups.....62 posts in almost 6 years??
See you at your next post 3 months from now....:lol

We've seen the aging superstar syndrome so many times that it shouldn't be a shock to see it appear, yet again. Dominant athletes are almost never self-aware enough to recognize signs of their own decline, even when its obvious to everyone else.
I laughed when people would talk about Kobe's "5-year window" to win a championship, and other such noise. I also shook my head when fanboys on ISH went thumbs-down on a trade that might have landed Carmelo in LA, saying that he and Kobe couldn't co-exist.
Hate to say so, but the time for appeasing Kobe is long gone. The Lakers have to see to their future, and it doesn't involve him.

whitlock LOL
didnt this guy say something completely absurd and idiotic a few months ago? I forgot what it was, it was laughable
Yeah, the moron made some idiotic racist comment about Jeremy Lin back in February. Prior to that, ESPN fired him for going ham on 2 of his co-workers, Mike Lupica and Scoop Jackson. Ironically, it was over MORE idiotic racist comments toward Scoop, who, just like Whitlock is a black sports columnist. That's the very definition of no credibility, but this is the same guy who's word we should take regarding Kobe? The guy is clearly a moron. Then you have all the idiotic Kobe haters agreeing with him. "duh huh duh huh duh huh duh huh duh huh....it's true....duh huh duh huh duh huh duh huh duh huh.":hammerhead:
Hilarious:lol

And I don't care if he's biased. Sam Smith is biased against MJ, but that doesn't mean his book is a pack of lies. Get over yourself. You're the most biased mf on the web and love to talk discredit everyone else because of their bias. Everyone is biased to some degree. Doesn't mean that Kobe isn't a selfish, arrogant, chemistry killing, MJ wannabe that desperately wants to play hero every game. It's true. Everyone can admit it.
Unless you're biased.
lol. You're acting like Kobe isn't one of the 10 greatest players of all and hasn't created a fantastic legacy for himself.

kobe's no jordan
not to feed the stupid mj-versus-kobe debate (because there is no debate) but MJ was a MESS with the wizards. his TS% was like 49% which is stupid bad. yet he chucked and chucked and chucked even though there were young guys (hamilton, arenas) who could have been the focus.

I don't care about the whole Jordan vs Kobe debate either but when did Jordan have arenas while he played? and i'm pretty sure Hamilton averaged 20ppg while he played with jordan, was he more efficient than Jordan sure but it wasn't that huge of a difference(besides the 3p%).
