Makes a whole lotta sense.

[JT123]

honestly, its disrespectful.
How? Did he say Kobe wasn't an all time great? The article was about how Kobe's personality and off court antics have hurt the Lakers franchise. Kobe's game has to be respected, but being respected as a man is something that is earned, not given just because you are good at a sport.

[Magic 32]

Abbott has been trying to turn things around since the summer of 2010, when the world (according to him) was upside down.

Kobe had just become a 5 time champion and was more beloved than ever, while Lebron was the most hated player in the world.

Now he thinks he's about to complete his "mission" to flip this around.

Kobe is in a vulnerable position and Lebron has returned to Cleveland.

The latest Henry Abbott video.

If things go wrong in Cleveland it's all Kyrie Irving fault:

1. Don't give me that respected as a man thing in this context. You don't know Kobe and neither do I. That is not for me to judge.

2. But this is an attack on his legacy as a basketball player that other players of similar pedigree never had to deal with. On top of that, its it not true. Its a hack job written by a guy who has spent his career twisting plays by Kobe Bryant to fit some narrative.

Hey AW, let's just say LeBron wins a couple championships in Cleveland and towards the end of his career his team starts to decline... kinda like Kobe's Lakers right now. What if Abbott made an article titled "Is LeBron James the reason for the Cleveland Cavaliers' downfall". I seriously think you'd hate Abbott after that, and you'd be "shook". In all honesty, I feel like you don't mind his Kobe article because you don't like Kobe and absolutely love LeBron.

We don't know Kobe, but based on what several of his former teammates and others who have encountered him have said, I'm not gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. It would be one thing if just one or two people had said negative things about him, but when tons of people all have similar complaints about Kobe that span nearly 2 decades it is obvious that the guy has some serious issues.
As for the story not being true, how do you know? :biggums: You said yourself that you don't know Kobe. I don't know if the story is true, but based on things that the public has heard about Kobe for years, the story isn't exactly hard to believe.

[SpecialQue]

I don't know when OP turned from a decent poster into a full-time troll, but I'm guessing it's because the regular season is about to start.

Sure you didn't say this already months ago? And then later you were like "I thought we get along" Its okay... Your side has alot more annoying pests, led by HCJ, droid, etc.

The article alone points out alot of things that have been repeatedly mentioned with Kobe, and like Abbott said on NNL, he has basically collected quotes from People inside the league.... And released them.

Do I dislike Kobe? Probably, there's stuff to dislike... You hate Durant, I'm sure you have your reasons. I would never blatantly open up a thread to critizise Kobe out of nowhere, like you wouldn't with KD. This however is an article that has garnered heavy Attention lately... Look around the front page, multiple threads BY LAKER fans about it... While I merely agreed with the premise of it, giving my reasoning, the article had People SO in shock People came from everywhere... Nobody really refuted any Points, besides a Paul George Quote or something?..

Tell that to Mo Williams , Chris Bosh, Mario Chalmbers and Micheal Beasley. Probably even D Wade when you catch him not being a fake shit. He knows e wanted that money.

All that ni99a ever wanted to do was eat his ice cream and french fires and sing show tunes and Lebron had to shit all over it.

Abbott's been writing the same stuff since basically forever, no one cared or even pretended to. It's only become news because Kobe called so called ESPN experts a bunch of idiots for ranking him 40th.

So in essence, that Kobe nonchalant response makes any subsequent critical article they write about him, which would otherwise be forgotten, relevant.

[Cold soul]

Henry Abbott lied about this too. Sessons did not leave because of Kobe as he stated in his bogus article this is directly from Ramon Sessions.


It was one of those situations I looked at like, ‘If I do come back what if they trade me?’ ” Sessions said. “There were talks about getting Deron. They always wanted the bigger-named guy. What if I get traded to a team and it’s my contract year? It was one of those things that I can’t say if I opted in, [Nash] wouldn’t have come. They still might have tried to get him. You just never know.”

Pau Gasol:
We have a true friendship. We talked. He told me he will always support me. Our relationship goes beyond basketball. Our friendship is for life. He said he will always be there for me as I will be for him.”

Why shouldn't I question his credibility?

We all know Shaq's story but he's had beef with other teammates as well. Bynum saying ""Later, I felt I was able to get the ball more and do more things with the ball, so I could definitely see how it could stunt growth." was a diss? He couldn't put up shots much cause they had Kobe and Pau taking most of the shots. And as for Dwight, the key players on the Lakers was mad at Dwight during his time with the Lakers not just Kobe. Nash and Metta was mad at Dwight for playing terrible.

What Abbot said is mostly true.

Kobe cannot attract any OTHER alpha superstar (dwight, carmelo, lebron etc) to play with him because he is prob the most selfish player in the game.

His first three championships were won by Shaq mostly and his last two were won by mostly Andrew Bynum and Paul Gasol...Bynum was too young to be the alpha dog and Gasol is Beta. Gasol is FOR SURE the MVP of their 2nd championship and had more win shares.

No Grade A Talent wants to play with Kobe..it is true.
It is also true that the lakers have sucked for the past 4 years because of moron Jim Buss and Kobe.

Abbot is not a genius. He is merely stating the FACTS and stating what everyone else saw. His article was not enlightening to me, it did not make me go "woah" because he was stating the obvious.

Abbot is not a genius. He is merely stating the FACTS and stating what everyone else saw. His article was not enlightening to me, it did not make me go "woah" because he was stating the obvious.
The examples abbot brought up were stupid, paul George was an rfa, melo clearly decided against winning when he rejected the bulls offer, chris bosh? Not sure if la pursued him but he seems pretty happy in miami Kobe or no kobe lakers just werent an attractive option with aging superstars taking up a lot of capspace, no exciting young talent and a new coach.
People seem to forget pretty quickly cp3 wanted to join them, dwight and nash did. why didnt he make this article about dallas and dirk, they have similar circumstances to la big market an owner willing to spend and they still missed out on cb4, dwill, melo, lebron, dwight What's the problem there

it's time to take the loss arb you know it's bad when other LeBron fans aren't even coming to your aid.

Ay, who are you in the soccer thread?

No one's shook. The majority are just making fun of it and ESPN won't stop showing his stupid face. It's self-created news by the ESPN.

Rank Kobe as low as possible and create outcry
have a writer completely bash Kobe and call him a cancer
get even more outcry
interview the said writer on every possible show on your network
???
profit


And people are stupid enough to fall for it and promote his shit.


This will be ridiculed because Kobe's going to look great as usual. It might just be set up that way so ESPN won't stop slurping him mid-season. This will be a great comeback story for Kobe. An old lion that was once ranked 40th, winning the scoring title and perhaps being in the MVP race.
