Kobe vents on Facebook

This is such BS! All the training and sacrifice just flew out the window with one step that I've done millions of times! The frustration is unbearable. The anger is rage. Why the hell did this happen ?!? Makes no damn sense. Now I'm supposed to come back from this and be the same player Or better at 35?!? How in the world am I supposed to do that??
I have NO CLUE. Do I have the consistent will to overcome this thing? Maybe I should break out the rocking chair and reminisce on the career that
was. Maybe this is how my book
ends. Maybe Father Time has defeated me...Then again maybe not! It's 3:30am, my foot feels like dead weight, my head is spinning from the pain meds and I'm wide awake. Forgive my Venting but what's the purpose of social media if I won't bring it to you Real No Image?? Feels good to vent, let it out. To feel as if THIS is the WORST thing EVER! Because After ALL the venting, a real perspective sets in. There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.
One day, the beginning of a new career journey will commence. Today is NOT that day.
"If you see me in a fight with a bear, prey for the bear". Ive always loved that quote. Thats "mamba mentality" we don't quit, we don't cower, we don't run. We endure and conquer.
I know it's a long post but I'm Facebook Venting LOL. Maybe now I can actually get some sleep and be excited for surgery tomorrow. First step of a new challenge.
Guess I will be Coach Vino the rest of this season. I have faith in my teammates. They will come thru.
Thank you for all your prayers and support. Much Love Always.
Mamba Out

Wow, do you really need to be that upset and insulted because somebody said something that was just so minorly negative towards your *********ion object?
:oldlol:

[thabisyo]

[D-Wade316]

Respect :applause:

[retaxis]

What are the chances of Kobe returning next year? or does he just call it quits?

[christian1923]

This guy writes better than everyone on ESPN.com

[longtime lurker]

Coach Vino!

[stevieming]

Damn that's real right there!!!

Much respect to Kobe. I hope mentally he can adjust to being a sixth man when he comes back...

He's been a media whore giving quote after quote, and tweet after tweet as if he's creating a biography building up his legacy this year.


Kinda annoying. Still hate this happened to him or anyone.

[oh the horror]

Building up his legacy for what though? I think the dude is literally venting outward trying to find some traction in the abyss.


Imagine you suffer this type of injury and it's severe and at the tail end of your career?

[ProfessorMurder]

The anger is rage.

You guys are saying he's a great writer?

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

There is more to being a writer than mastering the English language....

There is also conveying real emotions and speaking from the heart. And timing and cadence and flow to your thoughts. And logical progression.

Kobe seems to possess some of the latter

if that quote is right "If you see me in a fight with a bear, prey for the bear", thats hilarious. It its supposed to be pray for the bear, then its just lame and really ignorant.

[ILLsmak]

Did Kobe write in third person? I think it's sad. I feel for Kobe and I am not really into Kobe or his antics. It sucks to see him go out like this though.

Kobe has always been the best when it comes to giving quotes

Sadbe :(

not to mention its 3:30 in the morning and he's on pain meds.

I agree with you, but this isn't free form poetry or something artistic. Kobe just can't write.

Still feel for the guy though.

[Chrono90]

Mentality of a competitor. The game will not be the same after he leaves. KD does not have the leadership mentality and Lebron will not be as good after his athleticism fades.

We might not see another Kobe ever again.

[OhNoTimNoSho]

You guys are acting like he got injured just to post about it on facebook

[tpols]

Cats hating on Kobe's writing skills lol.. Gotta find something to argue about.

[HorryIsMyMVP]

Are we really gonna act like Kobe doesn't pay someone to write and edit for him?

[Derka]

If he comes back from this...I will gain a new measure of respect for him. A 36-year old veteran with his milage? That will really be something.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Honestly, Kobe's a pretty good writer. He expresses himself well, uses intelligent vernacular and has a clear cut cadence and flow to his thoughts.

real talk KOBE

:coleman:

:lol Kobe is so mad. Better luck next year champ.

[Draz]

Didn't Trey Songz make that quote?

[StarJordan]

Michael Jordan is a better writer

[Xsatyr]

Michael Jordan is a better writer

Are we comparing them at their prime?

[StarJordan]

[Are we comparing them at their prime?

Right now. Michael Jordan can dish out essays while Kobe'd be thinking about it and making faces.

:oldlol: Unbelievable. They're like women who put on an act, then go write back to gossiping as soon as someone;s back is turned.

[oh the horror]

Of course he's mad. He's a competitor that just had a severe injury. Wtf?

[Holy Random]

As a Kobe hater I was quite UNhappy to see him get hurt. As much as I dislike him I admire his drive/competitiveness. He's put more more into the game than almost anyone else EVER and for that reason alone he deserves to be in there still.

[SuperPippen]

Are you kidding?

Kobe's writing possesses none of this, save for the ability to express genuine emotion.

Still, it's a damn shame that this titan of the game has finally fallen. I wish him well.

:confusedshrug: Are people really expecting writing masterpieces? I mean, he's hopped up on pain meds, it's 3 AM, his concentration definitely isn't on his writing and he's on an emotional high. I'm surprised at how many people are randomly mentioning that his writing sucks.

[OmniStrife]

Kobe bruh, I'll rep when rep is back fo sho

[jaydacris]

[OmniStrife]

About his writing...
It's good to see that he did not succumb to the current illiterate twitter English.
