Skip Bayless (aka known controversy stirrer) just accused Kobe of being lazy

[Myth]

On First Take, he claimed "sources" that said that Kobe was not watching his diet well enough and was lounging around too much during his recovery and then essentially crammed intense workouts right before his return.

Take this however you will, but sources weren't mentioned and Skip is known for intentionally saying what will get people mad for ratings. Stephen A. Smith (always sides with Kobe) didn't dispute it and shrugged it off as 'just a mistake' on Kobe's part.

Found this interesting, because of all the criticism I've ever heard of Kobe, being lazy was never one of them. Skip emphasized not being disciplined with his diet more than lounging.

*yawn*

This guy still thinks Wade is 'batman' on the Heat. How is anything he ever says supposed to be taken seriously? He is a walking, living and breathing joke.

[sejoon101]

This how he makes money doe.

Gets people talking. He just trolls all day, that is all. I'm sure he has a lot of basketball knowledge.. but just knows what to say to piss people off.

[Miller for 3]

Stop giving Skip Bayless attention.

[pauk]

Weird, isnt Skip a Kobetard?

[SilkkTheShocker]

Wasn't Skip the Kobe stans hero at one point? :oldlol:

What? Ice baths are much easier for athletes to endure than watching their diet. Your muscles and joints hurt after workouts and the ice baths help relieve those pains (I loved ice baths after workouts when training). Meanwhile, intense workouts make you hungry and you can crave tons of food. I think Kobe is one of the most intense and dedicated athletes the NBA has ever seen, but taking ice baths does not mean dieting will be easy.

No. Never.

Nobody likes him or his opinion

[Mass Debator]

I do side with Skip with this one. Kobe lost a lot of his mojo after coming back from injury. He became humbled by this whole recovering experience and a lot of it may be due to his age. When he does interviews, he doesn't speak with fire/venom anymore. He's tooooo chill...no sense of urgency but then again, his team isn't going to be making any noise this year anyway. Very sad. Wanted to see Kobe come back with vengeance.

[branslowski]

No, he never was, he was just speaking objectively. Bron stans thought he was a Kobe tard just because Skip didn't hate on him like other Bron stans and Bruce Blitz do. Just cause you not hatin, doesn't make you a fan. When they compare Kobe to Jordan is when Skip dogs Kobe.

[Levity]

Kobe admits his diet was bad while he was out with injury. But i think skip is just speculating since he needs to try and stay relevant with more and more people exposing him everyday.

[SacJB Shady]

Well it is true that Kobe said that he ate cookies, donuts all day long. Those were his exact quotes. And he even said that all he needed was 3 weeks of conditioning and he'd be good. So what's up with Kobe's work ethic this season? He came back too soon.

[Chrono90]

Cause controversy. Say crazy things so people can agree or disagree with him. Getting headlines. Getting views. Making money.

That's his job.

How much i believe him? Not much.

[Heavincent]

Obviously BS.

[MP.Trey]

Skip keeps feeding the trolls :oldlol:

[TheReal Kendall]

I wouldn't put too much stock in what either of these guys say.

I've lost respect for both of them

Do you really think sitting in an ice bath is hard?

[niko]

Because poor diets lead to bones snapping.

[Mr. Jabbar]

skip was the first to identify lebron as a choker and got a lot of flak for it, time gave him the reason.... i think kobe might have been a little careless with his diet here. cant blame him though, all the hard work is very little rewarding in a league where colluding and stat whoring has become the norm, might as well eat a few donuts :applause:

[Bandito]

So he ate a few donuts big deal. After 17 years of playing you get to have a few months of gluttony.

[Mr. Incredible]

He's right :confusedshrug:

Lord-of-the-Rings-esque troll.

[RoseCity07]

Skip Bayless said it, don't care.

[Euroleague]

Kobe already knew his career was over. He just took more money off his idiot team and does not care anyway. He already knew his career was done.

[BoutPractice]

If God himself accused Kobe of being lazy I wouldn't believe him, so if it's Skip Bayless...
