Clarkson on Kobe: "For all the stories you hear about Kobe talking trash and demanding a lot from his teammates, on many occasions he’s picked us up, too. He leads by example; however, you don’t hear about that much in the media." [Players' Tribune]

It wasn’t even preseason yet, but Kobe was going full speed. Somehow he made it look as if he was just gliding around. I don’t think he had played all summer due to his injury, but he still killed everyone. The first possession, he caught the rock along the baseline and hit a turn-around jumper in my face … a shot I’ve seen him hit literally a thousand times on TV.

“Hey, don’t hurt yourself, young fella,” Kobe uttered to me.

It was one of my “Welcome to the NBA” moments

What a garbage franchise. Arguably the worst in the league. Laughing stock of the association.

Lebron doesn't have the quick first step to pull off that left shoulder turn-around jumper

Yeah, your Kings are pretty much garbage and a laughing stock in the NBA. Your team is the Clippers North.

The alpha wolf must protect and look out for his pack or they get taken over by other alphas.

Kobe haters and the media (Kobe haters) have an agenda against Kobe. He's the only true heir to MJ.

Of course you don't. He's been carrying the franchise since 2003 - anyone that has followed the Lakers knows.

The Colorado incident did more damage to his PR in the media than people really think. It destroyed any attempt of him becoming "the face" of the league. They just couldn't stop him being the best.

It's not about quickness, it's about footwork.
