No, but he's colluded the most out of any player this generation

1996- Jerry West collusion, foced Charlotte to trade him or he wouldve been in Italy. Already had a handshake agreement with the Lakers before the draft.

2004- Dream Team Collusion, Karl Malone, Gary Payton took paycuts, 4 HOFs, best at each position


2012- Dwight, Nash collusion, best starting 5 in the league. Still had Gasol and Artest as well


:facepalm

LeBron just made it to the finals with 5+ injuries.

[Fallen Angel]

The finger is overrated, you can adjust your jumpshot to go without the use of a finger with repetition.

Injuries that aren't season ending are not that serious. I'm sure the average NBA player can play through a boo-boo or a sore body part during the course of an 82 game season.

[Straight_Ballin]

Kennith exposing bron stans yet again. :lol

[toxicxr6]

just so you know coming back from injury and playing like trash does not mean you have overcome anything since his Achilles injury he has been one of the worst players in the league

I hope he does come back next season so I can watch that trash can again

:oldlol: A lot of perimeter players in the league can't shoot jumpshots with ten fully functional fingers.

And here you are trying to act like adjusting your jumpshot w/ dislocated/broken fingers on your shooting hand and remaining one of the best mid-range players in the game is a walk in the park. :oldlol:

f*ck outta here.

Obviously you're trying to sound smarky because you just posted a bunch of retardness.

If you're a really good shooter (I don't know why you're even bringing up perimeter players that can't shoot) then you can adjust your shooting form slightly to be effective without the use of a finger.

You're telling me players like Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Chris Paul, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, or Carmelo Anthony can't be effective shooting jumpshots with one dislocated finger on their shooting hand?

If you're trying to imagine non-shooters like Rajon Rondo and Lebron James being able to adjust to a dislocated finger then you are just trying hard to have an argument.

Don't bother replying with more of your stupidity.

[EnoughSaid]

Wade has been ****ed over by injuries a lot. Could have been a Top 10 All Time Player if healthy.

[plowking]

It truly is amazing.

I'm not talking about Kobe either. More so that Kobe fans hype up all these injuries, use them as excuses, Kobe sits out a bit, etc.
Yet Lebron gets injuries, barely misses any games, and he gets critiqued for faking injuries by Kobe fans.

Bizarre world.

LOL, what about Lebrons knee injury that kept him out 2 weeks this season? It was the same one Kobe had in 2013-2014 season except Lebron trained to come back after 2 weeks, instead of sitting out the season. :facepalm

kobes knee injuries required multiple surgeries and 4 germany experiments to replace the cartilage they cut out of his leg

You mean illegal PED experiments? There's a reason why those surgeries are banned in the States :facepalm

Kobe has been juicing since the 2008 season, thats why his body is breaking now, PED use has horrific long-term effects.

its a centrifuge that spins blood and separates healing cells. then injected directly into the knee


its his own blood. how can they ban your own blood

:lol


you = not educated

'Own blood'


Didnt know his body naturally produces Erythropoietin, Tamoxifen, and , tetrahydrogestrinon


Kobe = doper since 2008


All his accomplishments during that time carry heavy asterisks*

[plowking]

My point exactly. Make Bron's injuries seem minor and play up any of Kobe's.

Bron doesn't have an injury to sit out his whole career, and the one time his elbow flares up, or he gets cramps, he gets ridiculed. His knee problems, and his recent back problems... People on his case again. Faking it, HGH injections...

I've never seen such a polar reaction to situations. I guess people just expect greatness from Bron all the time. He is that good now.

healing cells aren't red

:lol


Erythropoietin controls red blood cells


and i dunno why kobe would be using Tamoxifen... thats used to block estrogen

:lol

You read a bit on the internet, and now you want to look like you know shit... :oldlol:

[sportjames23]

This thread delivers. :oldlol:

[Taller than CP3]

I remember asking for his autograph back in 2000 when he had a broken hand and he looked at me like I was retarded or something. He could have at least tried signing it with his left hand.

I still wanna know what these healing cells are...sound very magical.

Lol you moron, that link describes the opposite of what you're accusing him of doing.

"The treatment involved spinning samples of a Kobe's own blood to concentrate the platelets from the rest of the blood and then injecting the platelet rich portion of the blood back into his knee."

"There's simply no data to support the argument that additional platelets and their growth factors improve endurance or any other quantifiable measure of fitness. "

[ImKobe]

to add on to that list, he played on a bad knee and had knee surgery at the end of the 06 season, knee drained during 2010 Playoffs, had shoulder injury during the 2012 pre-season, concussion and broken nose after ASB.

There's no player in NBA history that has suffered as many injuries and played through them so well.

[AintNoSunshine]

Lebron has 5 injuries in one playoffs run, and he's top 5 all time already.

[funnystuff]

long term effects of PED use = frailty

without the use of your index finger? what the fock man, have you ever played ball?
