Good lord, why does he have to be such an arrogant, insecure prick? Again and again... :rolleyes:

[Bandito]

Kobe's funny...

[oh the horror]

Good lord, why does he have to be such an arrogant, insecure prick? Again and again... :rolleyes:



Why do you have to take it so seriously?

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

He's right. College ball sucks.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Kobe is a prick, but I thought this was pretty funny. Lighten up, OP. :lol

[Rysio]

mamba telling the truth how is that arrogant. :applause:

[strike first]

I think your mistake is actually taking kobe seriously

[Kingwillball]

Kobe great player but doucebag person so not suprised.

[longtime lurker]

Good lord, why does he have to be such an arrogant, insecure prick? Again and again... :rolleyes:

Maybe you should remove that stick up your ass and lighten up

[Salazaar]

Why do you have to take it so seriously?

Because he's not joking, he's saying it seriously... It's just pathetic.

[retaxis]

mamba telling the truth how is that arrogant. :applause:
truth is subjective..acting like a prick is for all to see

[willds09]

Tell it like it iz mon:oldlol:

[Batzman]

Well, shouldn't they be...?

[Foster5k]

The Mamba speaking truth. People just can't handle the truth that's all.

[theBIGjabroni]

What a phagg0t

[OhNoTimNoSho]

Kobe is so MEAN! That comment ruined my life!

[daily]

Good lord, why does he have to be such an arrogant, insecure prick? Again and again... :rolleyes:

You take things too serious. Lighten up before you stroke out

[ispin69]

Watch him struggle to make the playoffs with hall of famers and all stars that were poised to be the "favorites" this year. Then in comes all the Kobe apologists who will claim he wasn't serious and it was somehow "funny". :facepalm

[32jazz]

Good lord, why does he have to be such an arrogant, insecure prick? Again and again... :rolleyes:


:rolleyes:

Obviously the guy is joking & has introspectively stated in the past that March Madness makes him wish he had attended college for at least a year or 2.

Actually said it makes him a bit sad watching March Madness he suggested .


Likes college ball & publicly fawned over Coach K & Duke.

[Segatti]

Everybody will watch you being sweep Kobe, don't worry

[Nash]

He's right, most college players are not even Euroleague scrubs. Kobe is legend, they should watch him.

[konex]

This is the same Kobe who personally called that Ware kid the other day. It's a funny line and nothing more. Stay hating, haters

[retaxis]

Be interesting to watch Kobe play in the playoffs. He is the kind of player you want to watch and enjoy watching but feel kinda good when he loses because in the back of your mind you know he deserves it from the way he treats his team mates and other people and act like an arrogant prick 24/7. Meanwhile that is exactly how kobe wants everyone to see it as well, he doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for him when he loses or feel sorry for him.

[DuMa]

thats just the type of line that Stern enjoys for ratings

[Shepseskaf]

Even if he was joking, shouldn't have said it. Just makes him look bad (not that he cares).

[DirkNowitzki41]

anyone else getting sick of this guy? lmao

[White Mamba]

:oldlol: just cuz kobe saying it you all lost ur humor?


Mark Medina ‏@MarkG_Medina 13h

Kobe said he's so tired that he's not going to watch any of the Final Four so he can rest up, get treatment, etc

[SwayDizzle]

Even if he isn't joking, why the fuq would a top 5 all time player watch amateurs? They should watch him and learn a thing or two, which I'm sure they alreay have done.

[JellyBean]

LOL!! Love it! Kobe = Confidence...hands down.

[Scholar]

Good lord, why does he have to be such an arrogant, insecure prick? Again and again... :rolleyes:

How do you know he was being serious? It's a tweet you read, not a recording of his voice where you can judge by his tone if he is serious or not.

[Salazaar]

How do you know he was being serious? It's a tweet you read, not a recording of his voice where you can judge by his tone if he is serious or not.

Because he's constantly saying this type of stuff... Wasn't a one-time joke

[All Net]

Not sure why he would say that.:

[The Choken One]

Kobe great player but doucebag person so not suprised.
LeBron's complete dig of the casual fans life is probably one of the biggest douche statements in the history of the NBA.

So, as a LeBron fan, I don't think you have any room to call Kobe out.

Any LeBron dan needs to STFU

Any how I thought the comment was funny. And last I checked this was a NBA forum. Love the big dance but I'd watch an NBA game before it anytime.

That was actually funny lol

It doesn't have anything to do with LeBron... Btw LeBron's comment, as stupid as it was, was just a response to people constantly attacking and insulting him, and he later apologized for that. Meanwhile, Kobe's just being a douche if you ask me.

[SilkkTheShocker]

He is right. I would much rather watch an NBA game over any college game. Give me Kings vs. Bucks over any college matchup.

Being a douche, maybe, but we all know that's his personality. Just glad he doesn't go around taking offensive digs at his "fans".

[Salazaar]

He is right. I would much rather watch an NBA game over any college game. Give me Kings vs. Bucks over any college matchup.

I would much rather watch a Final Four game tbh.. Those guys play way harder. It's obvious that NBA players are better than college ones but is it a reason to act like such an arrogant douchebag and look down on people, thinking that you're god's gift to people?

[LongLiveTheKing]

What would you expect from Kobe lol?
It's Kobe being Kobe :oldlol:

[Just2McFly]

Because he's not joking, he's saying it seriously... It's just pathetic.
he's one of the greatest basketball players to ever walk this earth, of course someone who is dedicated to the sport on a lower level should be watching him. wtf is arrogant about that? it's like any time a dude isn't jesus christ type humble people have a problem

[Lebowski]

Haha, that's gold!

[Salazaar]

Of course they should watch him, but saying "I don't care about you cause you're nothing compared to ME" is definitely not cool. Kobe uses every opportunity to underline how great and awesome he is, and that's what ticks me off.

[KingMichael23]

Because he's not joking, he's saying it seriously... It's just pathetic.
He wasn't serious. Take it easy, bro.

[Legends66NBA7]

It's weird, but Bryant reminds me of Charles Barkley with some of these comments.

Don't know if anyone else feels the same way, though...

[La Frescobaldi]

Because he's not joking, he's saying it seriously... It's just pathetic.
He's a corporate spokesman, so even if you do take it as a serious statement, which apparently you do.... why are you attacking him for making a professional comment about the product he's selling?

[Raymone]

Kobe should be watching LeBron.

[Salazaar]

The NBA's not competing against college ball and Kobe's not the league's spokesman. If it was LeBron saying that, we'd have like 10 threads on the first page filled with rants about what an arrogant douche he is, but when it's Kobe, it's all cool. It's like reading the f*cking bible...

[Frozen1]

He is just telling the truth, maybe watching the mamba they will actually learn some teamplay lessons.

[SacJB Shady]

Y do people like college ball? What's next? High school ball? Why do people love watching amateurs? I don't see anyone talking about the d league

[Frozen1]

The NBA competes for television time just like everybody else does.

If you think Kobe Bryant does not in a very great degree represent the NBA to millions of viewers you are sadly mistaken. Part of what makes the NBA seem drab to many people is the retirement of great personalities like Barkley, Shaq & Jordan. Bryant is one of the few guys out there in an absurdly correct country who makes those brash kinds of statements that people crave madly.

Who cares about LeBron? He's not the subject here.

[daily]

Because he's constantly saying this type of stuff... Wasn't a one-time jokeOf course it was a joke. He's not even playing today.

Christ are you this dense or so full of hate you have to draw from such a shallow well

Prolly wanted to rape him

But don't worry, Kobe won't finish inside the poor kid, he'll rub it out in the bathroom after he's close.

You are one funny kid. How do you do it? Everything you say as an attempt at humor is hilarious. Keep it up, you're great.

Yeah, let's be real. Your effort is awkward. You shouldn't have registered a new screenname for this, it was a waste of time.

It's cool that you perceive rape as a funny thing, "kid". And besides, nothing I've said in this thread was supposed to be funny, so you better go back to school and pay attention during that reading comprehension class.

[Boomerang]

Well, what he said is true. NCAA athletes should be watching Kobe. But Kobe should be watching Lebron.

I'm probably your parents' age, but it is besides the point. You remind me of Dwight Howard, when he decides to try being funny. It's just awkward and corny and he ends up laughing at his own jokes. You have that same character.

[Noob Saibot]

Kobe trolling is contagious.

If it is so, then you probably shouldn't be able to use the computer. How funny, you judge my personality based on an Internet post and imply how mature you are :oldlol:

[elementally morale]

What exactly should I judge your personality on when we are online and this is a message board? Something you do not write?

Be ready for people judging you / your screenname for things you do and not for things you don't. You act like an ass, you will be thoguht of as an ass. Easy concept, even you should grasp it.

You can judge a post, but not my personality based on my opinion on this matter. You try to act like you're so mature, but you try to offend me in such a primitive way and call me an idiot just because insulting people on the internet is so cool. Time to grow up, "dad". And by the way, I act like an ass because?

Oh. How sensitive you've become. Strange, isn't it?

I'm not trying to act like anything. You told me to go back to school and I told you I'm probably a bit older than you think, but it is besides the point. That's exactly what I've said. It really is besides the point. You are acting like an idiot and it has nothing to do with my age. I'm not insulting you, by the way. Just pointing out the rather obvious.

It is you insulting yourself with the way you behave.

[LBJFTW]

LOL at the *******s all up set that Kobe said something stupid and is now being called out on it. Oh well. Deal with it.

Well, I'm not sure many people care as to which player you (your screenname) or me (my screenname) dislike(s). I think it's rather irrelevant. It is the way you present your ideas that's interesting, not the opinion you have. You should re-read your posts. They are boring. Then you acted tough and tried being funny. Then all of a sudden you've become extremely sensitive. The sad thing is you're weak and only good for a laugh yourself.

I'm off, it makes no sense talking to guys like you.

[DMV2]

Meanwhile, Kobe's just being a douche if you ask me.Lightened up! Kobe was clearly joking. He gives a lot of sarcastic responses to the media. He's also been serious too, depending on the subject.

He doesn't discredit the college game at all. Got a lot of respect for John Wooden and Coach K, ect. Almost went to Duke.

Thanks for the in-depth breakdown. My posts are not supposed to be entertaining. I'm not extremely sensitive, but you're trying to act so mature when you're actually not. Trying to be tough? Oh, please :oldlol:

[TrueRob]

Kobe was probably joking, but he's a pro, a basketball master. College players are amateurs, they're students. Kobe's the sensei and college players are pupils, so why the phuck would he watch THEM? :confusedshrug: It's not like Kobe played college ball and has a former team to root for.

[d.bball.guy]

People hate Kobe so much that they lost their sense of humor :lol :facepalm

Even if he's joking or not, there's no need for him to watch the Final Four anyway.

[DMV2]

All the guys saying why should Kobe watch a college game? Well, if it's a great game, why the fck not? NCAA hoops isn't too far different in terms of entertainment from NBA hoops. Some of you are acting like a Final Four game is similar to a YMCA pick up game or something. :oldlol:

I'm not even a big college football fan, but the Texas vs USC 2006 game is my all-time favorite football game on any level. Vince Young was a God that night.

[Salazaar]

People hate Kobe so much that they lost their sense of humor :lol :facepalm

Even if he's joking or not, there's no need for him to watch the Final Four anyway.

It's not about whether he should watch it or not, it's about the way he behaves and says certain things...

[Solid Snake]

Even if he was joking, shouldn't have said it. Just makes him look bad (not that he cares).

this

[d.bball.guy]

It's not about whether he should watch it or not, it's about the way he behaves and says certain things...
Well yeah, he does say questionable statements like this one but people pay too much attention or always try to decipher what he's saying. It's given since he's one of the most famous athletes in the world, though.

[elementally morale]

this

Come on. It's Kobe being Kobe. Everyone who already dislikes him will find a problem with this and people who like him won't find one. The rest simply don't care. It's not like he said anything relevant or even mildly interesting. He just opened his mouth.

[The Iron Fist]

[G-Funk]

Because he's not joking, he's saying it seriously... It's just pathetic.


I wish he wasn't joking, imagine that! would be the best quote ever!:oldlol:

[No_Look604]

ISH you disappoint me.

Hear me out. As a baller, the cardinal rule so-to-speak is that there is always room for improvement and you should basically never be satisfied with your game...that's how you get better.

Kobe's trying to be funny in a Godfather kinda way. Those KIDS should be watching him. Those KIDS should be watching/studying any NBA player for that matter.

Did you forget Kobe didn't play college ball? So he probably has even less interest than a Durant, Melo etc.

And last time I checked The Lakers are fighting for their lives, so if I was asked the same question in Kobe's shoes, I'd be kinda pissed....he's got bigger fish to fry
