"Yesterday,'' said an Asian reporter to Bryant, "you said that you are the best player in the post other than Tyson Chandler. That being said...''
And Bryant interrupted him.
"No, no, no,'' said Bryant. "Not `other than Tyson Chandler.' The best post player, period. Tyson Chandler's not in that conversation.''

Shit . . . Kobe's turning into some uncensored animal in 2012's summer. Maybe he's showing cockiness because he knows something we don't. . . :confusedshrug:



He knows that the Lakers will be the top dawgs again come next season.

What post moves does Tyson Chandler have though?:rolleyes:

[DCL]

if a 3 foot high midget has all the post moves in the world, but he can't score on a regular 6 footer, does that still make him the best post player?

what if one guy only has 2-3 post moves but he can score on anyone on earth with only those few moves, is he the best post player?

so unless kobe can post up on a big man and score on him all day, he ain't a post player. he's just a shooting guard with post moves. is he even strong enough to get in post position against a 7'1" 290 guy?

He reminds me of Floyd Mayweather for some reason. Well not as cocky. But I like players who are cocky and can prove it.

[SpecialQue]

I have to say that I love Kobe's "I don't give a fvck" attitude. He reminds me of those geezers who just start saying shit at the top of their heads because they've gotten past caring, like "you stink of cigarettes" or "that colored woman's stealing my jewelry."

[BlackVVaves]

He does have the best footwork and skill in the post in comparison to the rest of the Olympic team. So?

Let's not make this bigger than it really is, that last "Kobe says..." thread already stinks of rotten posts.

Is it possible I just started loving Kobe more? I love his fucc it attitude.

Why is there a 3 foot guy posting up a 6 foot guy? I have never seen a 3 foot guy play professional basketball. Of course guards are going to guard Kobe in the post. He's not saying he's the team's best center tardosaurus rex.

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

I would assume that Kobe is referring to post moves.
In which case, yes, he may be the best.
I don't think he was referring to post defense, or paint-eater.

i knew some retard was gonna bite, but you really suck at reading.

"Yesterday,'' said an Asian reporter to Bryant, "you said that you are the best player in the post other than Tyson Chandler. That being said...''


kobe claimed to be the best player in the post. that's different from claiming to be the best post player. it's not the same thing. a midget on the team can be the best post player, but he ain't the best player in the post. it's simple logic.

best player in the post means you are down there and the best option at all time, even with the defensive presence of all the tall centers and forwards, not just guards, you kobe nut sack riding fool.

[amfirst]

He is the best post player if u think about it. He can score far out in the post or close to the post. Most bigs score close in the post.

[2LeTTeRS]

so you think a 3 foot midget with post moves but can't score on tall people is the best post player? :oldlol:

So you are arguing that Kobe can't score in the post on taller defenders? Really?

[tpols]

Kobe sonning the new school:bowdown: :bowdown:

[DCL]

So you are arguing that Kobe can't score in the post on taller defenders? Really?

it's arguable he may have the most post moves among players, but he's not the best player at the post.

the best player at the post is the guy who gets the most easy two's downlow regardless of who's guarding him. that's entirely different from being the guy with the most post moves.

[Quickening]

He can't do it on the court anymore, so is doing it in interviews, sad.

[KyrieTheFuture]

Uhhhh he's right. The post game is lost among the NBA new school.

[swag2011]

He can't do it on the court anymore, so is doing it in interviews, sad.

yet, you're still pressed, which is even more sad. :cheers:

[andgar923]

Kobe's right, blame the other players for not stepping their post game up.

[Rnbizzle]

1. Kobe
2. Melo
3. D-Will/Bron?

As far as moves go.. I think they're all beter than Blake, Love and Chandler..

[no pun intended]

Kobe is actually right. He is the best post player on the team. It's just amazing how he easily admits it.

[Raz]

Irony?

What's the difference fool? He's saying he is the best player in the post. You're arguing semantics you dumb turd. When Kobe posts guards up, which is often, is he not playing in the post? Oh, you have to post up Marc Gasol on the low block to be a post player, I never knew.

I don't know why you keep going back to the midget argument. Midgets don't play in the NBA. We're strictly talking about NBA players and a matter of inches here. Kobe could score in the post on a good majority of NBA power forwards, as can Paul Pierce.

I respect Kobe, but naturally as a Celtic fan, he's one of my least favorite players. I'm far from a Kobe "nut sack riding fool."

Your argument stacks up as much as someone saying that Webber or Divac were never the best passers on the early 00's Kings teams because they didn't play point guard, and you can't be the best passer on the team if it's not your full time job. Can Divac bring the ball up the court every play under pressure from Gary Payton? No. Same stupid ass argument from a stupid ass poster.

[The Iron Fist]

it's arguable he may have the most post moves among players, but he's not the best player at the post.

the best player at the post is the guy who gets the most easy two's downlow regardless of who's guarding him. that's entirely different from being the guy with the most post moves.

[DaSeba5]

You got to love his confidence.

[pegasus]

He has the best post moves in the entire league, not just on the Olympic roster.

I read somewhere that Chandler and Amare were going to (or already did) work with Hakeem this summer, so maybe Chandler knew this was coming.:lol He still has a loooong way to go, though.

[LA_Showtime]

He's telling the truth. Kobe's got a very refined post game. Too bad he doesn't have the room to use it more often. That's what happens when you play with two seven foot guys.

[SwayDizzle]

Carmelo>Kobe in the post. Maybe not as flashy, but definitely more effective.

[tmacattack33]

Kobe's one of the best post players in the NBA. And yes, probably on team USA.

The lack of post play in the game today is ridiculous and good for Kobe to step up and let everyone know that a guard is better than everyone else at it.

Add LeBron too, Carmelo is the most effective in this team though.

[Y2Gezee]

Kobe is beast in the post. I'm leaning towards saying lebron may be more effective now though. Though that's arguable, carmelo being the best post player on that team is not arguable. Melo is one of the best post players in bball

[Jax]

Kobe knows Lebron gonna carry his old ass so he thinks he can yap and yap and yap. He's talking too much, venom of the mamba, watch out British and Spanish girls, Kobe's on tour!

[Orlando Magic]

I never liked Kobe. He has always been a fake ass bitch who was an incredible player but somehow still incredibly overrated.

Now that Kobe is a little past his prime and he's not getting his balls ridden 24/7 by ESPN and every poster ever, coupled with the fact that the dude is straight up speaking his mind, true or false, you gotta love it. I think this shit is awesome and I'm glad he's being so genuine with his feelings, regardless of their validity.

Simply awesome. Props Kobe.

[RicksPlace]

He is right. You have to admire his honesty. Who would be better? Carmelo? (what is can he do besides the spinmove?) Lebron?( he just
Bullies other players to the basket and uses his athletisism). Tyson? (Lol. He would rather shoot a 15 footer). Durant? ( he is just like a 2003 version of Dirk. Excellent shooter. No post up). Kobe can give you the up and under, reverse spin, windshield fadeaway, hop step, pump fakes. He is the best low post player in the league after Dirk( nobody is stoping his one legged fadeaway). Too bad Duncan and KG are old.

[Kingwillball]

And Lebron should say well Maybe but Im the BEST PLAYER on the team and shut his arse up quick !!!

[Heavincent]

Just a Sample (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKRw4mP6hwY)

What separates Melo from other perimeter guys who try to play on the block is his deceptive strength. He gets a lot of second chance points down low that way.

Thanks for the reply. Good video. But there is a reason that Coaches says KB is the best or one of the best post players in the league. The thing with Carmelo is that he likes to iso, use his jabstep and shoots the J and he wont use postmoves in cluth situations that often. Bare in mind, kobe likes iso and shoots questionable shots a lot, but when he wants to post up and make some damage to smaller guards, you have to send a double team.

True. I dont think Kobe knows how to play the mental game sometimes. Thats why I think a lot of players do not want to play with him. He should motivate his teammates by saying "We have some excelent post scorers like LJ, Melo, Tyson, etc, we can do some damage down low, but I think I should be the more complete". He tries to be extra cocky and that wont benefit him. Although, like I said earlier, I think he is the most complete. NBA season is over and now is a team game in pursuit of the gold.

[pauk]

Kobe says who takes the shot at the end tho? Make sure you don't turn it over, Leinbound.


Probably the one who just won a championship as the man 4 years earlier than Kobe, who led in 4th quarter scoring and clutch stats and shoots higher percentage...

Me personally i would prefer Kevin Durant to take any last shot as he is a more accurate jumpshooter than both Kobe & Lebron and the most accurate jumpshooter in the olympic team...

But dont you wory, i can guarantee you there will be no such last second heroball situations... they will blow teams out more or less..

If we're going by the merit of someone giving themselves a nickname...

I'm only recalling LeBron James and until this year his "King" moniker didn't really fit. He did coin himself King James though (I don't know what the background on that was at the moment)...

Other than that, Shaq coined himself a lot of nicknames, but that was for comedy.

The other part, most arrogant player, I disagree with that more... it's also a lot more objective than this part of the topic.

The own nickname thing... eh, I'm not too really concerned about it, but there have been other self-promoters too (Again, LeBron... I'm not recalling anyone else right now).

Have you seen Kobe's facial hair right now?

[Laker Logic]

Not really, no. Name me another player who gave himself his own nickname, and even explained the rationale behind it (Black Mamba - I can strike 99 times in a second or some corny bullshit like that). Dude is CONSTANTLY talking himself up, taking subtle jabs at past greats etc. - much more so than any other all-time great.

Shaq would like a word with you.

As would;

Superman
MDE
The Big Dog
The Big Fundamental
The Big Aristotle
etc...

Of course Shaq never promoted himself or disrespected any true greats, and Kobe favorably comparing his post game to his year's Olympic team is 10000x worse than Shaq dissing bums like Kareem, Hakeem, Russell, Mikan, Wilt etc, etc

How long has Loki been hating on Kobe? I wonder if it ever gets old. :oldlol:

As for Kobe, he's telling the truth. The only reason I have him over Melo is that Melo tends to be out of control sometimes when he goes to the post. He also doesn't convert at as high a percentage as you would expect.

It's not like Kobe's boasting or anything. Does anyone really consider Tyson Chandler Hakeem Olajuwon?
