They all look like they were having fun playing with him to me... :confusedshrug:

It's not a concrete thing. Some people dont mind Kobe, some love Kobe, others hate it and want to get away from him.

The reason nobody wants to play with Kobe on the Lakers right now is that he is washed up and the Lakers are garbage . Not necessarily a personality thing.

[dubeta]

No, they're happy that they won, not cause Kobe was there, false assumption.

[Showtime2001]

Biggest myth created by Bran stans.

[AkronAngel]

Of course playing on a stacked team is fun. But playing 82 games and MAYBE the playoffs with a player who takes all the credit and gives all the blame wears on people.

[sammichoffate]

No, they're happy that they won, not cause Kobe was there, false assumption.They seemed to be enjoying themselves even before the game was done while Kobe was on the floor though.

And this too. People stick with him while they're winning, but the moment they start losing, players bolt. It happens time and time again with Kobe.

[AkronAngel]

Because they expected to win every game.

[Mr. Jabbar]

you're expected to win with kobe, he will get on your ass if you slack...not many can handle that.

but they all wanna play with bran.. with him you can do whatever you like, worst case scenario; dude leaves next year

[L.A.Showtime]

Who cares if people like to play with Kobe? All that matters is he knew how to win. It is more impressive that players don't want to play with him and he still managed to win.

but they all wanna play with bran.. with him you can do whatever you like, worst case scenario; dude leaves next yearIt's weird as hell when you think about it, players in the NBA are supposed to be the best in the world but they can't handle playing 110% with Kobe or Jordan.

I'd love to know how those 08/09 Lakers playoff teams are anywhere close to stacked.

They weren't. It was Kobe, Pau, and Phil. Everybody else was replaceable.

[sammichoffate]

Which players??Cartwright openly said he was going to break MJ's legs at one point if he lashed out at him again. Smush Parker said Kobe was the worst player he ever played with.

There was little small talk exchanged. "I don't like the things I've heard you saying about me," Cartwright told Jordan.

Jordan stared at him.

"If Iever hear again that you're telling guys not to pass me the ball," Cartwright continued, "you will never play basketball again."


Parker is / was a nobody. Horrible example

Parker is / was a nobody. Horrible exampleThey took the video down, but it was basically Cartwright saying that he would break both of Jordan's legs. I can't find another copy of the vid atm :/ True, although Shaq would be a much better example. Not sure why i didn't think of it at first lol

LOL yeah just ignore Bynum, Odom, and Ariza. All very good players.

[ISHGoat]

So youre telling me wade, bosh, chalmers and company are not replaceable? Every team lebron has been on has basically been Lebron + replaceable role players.
