Bran stans on suicide watch. :lol

First Wiggins now Durant coming forward professing their allegiance to Kobe.

Damn, Kobe's so good he's got forwards emulating him even though he was a guard :lol

[dubeta]

OP still shook from LeDecision :lol

[Heavincent]

I remember some idiot writer on Deadspin saying "nobody wants to be like Kobe" :oldlol: Yet it seems like every single young perimeter player goes out of their way to heap praise on Kobe. Durant, Wiggins, Klay Thompson, CJ McCollum, etc. These guys kiss the ground on which Kobe walks.

Well, no shit. What other perimeter player are they going to watch and study?

Lebron? sheeeeeeit. They can go watch a monster truck show to get the same knowledge

[Mr. Jabbar]

[AirBonner]

if he wants to be like Kobe he has to have a lower fg %

@cavsftw: you are a kobe fan and a lebron hater. yet a cavs fan?

how is this working out for you? do you hope that cavs win and lebron plays bad? or do you hope that cavs lose and no chip for bron?

[Hey Yo]

"I understand [the media] have to write about the game. Of course I understand that," Durant told ESPN.com. "Kobe hasn't played well, and his team hasn't played well, but did we expect that from them? You did say he was the 93rd-best player in the league, you did have the Lakers as the worst team in the West, but it seems like everybody is happy that he's going out like this. Every game he's played on TV is about how terrible he looks, every article the next day is about how he should retire and give it up. Just killing him.


:cry: :cry: "please love my Kobe" :cry: :cry:

I don't wish ill upon anyone, including LeBron. I actually don't even hate LeBron, I hope he wins a ring with Cleveland eventually. I most importantly just hope Cleveland wins a championship. The difference between me and a LeStan is that whether Kyrie, or Delly, or LeBron is FMVP I couldn't care less. And if LeBron jumps ship to a different team I sure as heck am not going to follow him around the league and pretend to be a fan of some other team. I care about the Cavs. I don't need to worship LeBron to be a Cavs fan. What I don't understand is that why not worshiping LeBron is taken as some sort of personal insult by his fans? Really, I've got to worship the guy or I'm doing some sort of disservice? Nah. He's a great player but there are other players in the league who I'm a bigger fan of as individuals. My priorities are Cavs first, individuals second - always, that's never changed.

PS - I never even mentioned LeBron in this thread. Why's everything got to be about him? Get off his nuts.

Bran stans ****en fuming right now :lol

[AirBonner]

Makes sense. Hes awkward and gives off a rapey vibe towards women. He just needed inspiration from someone that has actually done it.

[Optimus Prime]

Durant and GOATbrook are extremely likable superstars. Both have a huge basketball IQ, a great understanding of the game and an appreciation of its history.
