[QUOTE=FourthTenor]I'd like to see Bynum a little more assertive as far socking Kobe in the grill and knocking him out cold to start the new chapter of the Lakers. When Kobe wakes up, Kupchak will be standing there with a smile on his face, holding out a pink amnesty slip. Good riddance to the most Ko-ber rated player in NBA history.[/QUOTE]
1.5/10
A slight improvement over your last trolling effort. Still not good though.
[QUOTE=Quizno]i don't see anything wrong with that answer. people overreact so much. it was a really bad shooting performance, maybe even the worst of his entire career. but you can't deny that kobe hits those shots on a regular basis. it was just a bad game, he'll obviously bounce back from it. lakers will be fine and so will kobe.[/QUOTE]
Totally this. Kobe is a big-time shooter. He has bad shooting days like New Year's Day. He has many more good shooting days though. It happens. Thank goodness that Kobe doesn't have a weak mentality where he will shrink into his shell after a bad performance. He's strong enough to shrug off a bad night and keep on doing his thing.
Though, he really should play more games like New Year's Eve where he was more of a playmaker, what with his injured hand and everything. Still, there is nobody else in the NBA that I'd rather have taking most of my team's shots than Kobe Bryant.
source?
kobe gonna be kobe, this should be no surprise.
[QUOTE=kuniva_dAMiGhTy]I see where his stans get it from now. Guy is the ultimate dbag.[/QUOTE]
Those comments by Kobe are infuriating, and if I was a teammate I would seriously tell him to shut the hell up. He seems more concerned about being viewed as the number one option than actually winning games. The guy is just a selfish asshole, albeit one of the best ever. I don't see Kobe aging well, and since Jim Buss has officially taken over the Lakers I wouldn't be surprised if Kobe's amnestied in a couple years (seriously).
[QUOTE=The Macho Man]This. He's gonna keep shooting, as he should. I'm sure he got frustrated and started forcing some bad shots. But Kobe needs to stay aggressive. I'd like to see Bynum a little more assertive as far as demanding the ball as well.[/QUOTE]
If Shaq couldn't get Kobe to pass the ball more do you really think Bynum has a chance?
[QUOTE=FourthTenor]LOL the dude doesn't even make sense. It's a blatant contradiction.
Dude is about taking his shots and getting his credit, THEN he wants to win. But doesn't just wanna adapt his game to winning basketball. He expects the Lakers organization to pay whatever it takes to surround him with players that can COMPENSATE AND ALLOW him to play selfish Kobe ball and CARRY him to wins he will then take credit for.
And the funny thing is, 99% of Laker fans are too scared to call him out for it, because if any one of them speaks up they're afraid the rest of them will ostericize them from the group for daring speak ill of Cult Leader Kobe. These Laker fans are a trip. Such followers, desperate to fit in the Cult of Kobe. SMH at these losers.[/QUOTE]
Too scared to be ostericized from the laker family? Kobe fans? sure, laker fans? no. Just no.
There was a question polled during the game something of which was what's the most important thing for the lakers to win. Kobe being healthy, defence or bench play. I honestly thought (unfortunately) choice A was going to win. It seemed to be tied during the game, but the more Kobe jacked up shots, the more option B or defense seemed to win.
Kobe was the reason I started watching basketball again back in 2000 and I can't begin to describe how painful it is watching him play now a days.
You can see how much the team enjoys playing ball without him in the game. They share, they pass, they know they're going to get the ball back... with Kobe in the game playing kobe ball? Us laker fans feel the pain. Is Worthy not a fan? Did he not question wtf was he doing enough times for you?
Unfortunately, the first half of your post I completely agree with...Pass the f.u.c.k.i.n.g ball Kobe, damn.

Shaq got his touches.
People are taking this the wrong way, he's saying he's going to continue to be aggressive. Maybe he said it like an asshole, he probably is a bit of an asshole, plus I'm sure he was pissed after playing miserable the past 2 games.

Kobe's attitude is just the attitude you want to see from THE MAN on your team. He's a competitor. He's also a jerk and extremely confident in himself. He has to be...it comes with the territory of being the alpha dog on a high profile team. Guess what...Jordan was the same way!
Unfortunately, Kobe seems like the last of a dying breed of NBA player who just wants to win every game he plays and destroy the competition. It'll be a sad day when Kobe Bryant retires from the NBA, because we're gonna be left with nothing but a bunch of SuperFriends hugging it out. :(

Absolutely. It has nothing to do with him knowing he's great or even making it clear he is Kobe Bryant. It's him dodging accountability and rooting his nose up at his teammates. Like his post-game interview after the first loss against Dallas in the playoffs...for the most part, he was honest and it was what it was. When he said it had nothing to do with his shots and he's gonna keep getting his shots, it was still cool, because he was right and it was that Kobe arrogance I always appreciated. But then he kept repeating it...over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. Everyone heard him. He just had to make it clear as many times as his petulant ego decides. It gets old.
And Jordan's attitude has always been overblown. He was the most competitive player ever and he could bother his teammates with it, but pretty much all of his teammates loved playing with him. That's not Kobe's attitude at all.
Why should he stop shooting good looks? Nice try, OP. Kobe had a truly horrendous game. But that just means he'll go apesh*t in the near future on some pitiful team. Dude looked superb the first few games. LA fans should rather beware of Kobe in the coming seasons, cause he won't like to give up his spot as the go-to-guy easily, declining athleticism notwithstanding.

Typical Kobe hater tripe. None of Kobe's teammates, other than Shaq, have commented publicly about disliking being on the same team as Kobe. And we all know Shaq also has an ego the size of Louisiana (not that that's a bad thing necessarily). Oh wait, I'm sorry...Smush Parker doesn't like Kobe either. :roll: :facepalm
And your lack of knowledge on MJ is astounding. Let me guess...LeBron fan? Under 20 years of age? MJ was notorious for being aloof, a jerk, and getting in his teammates faces, because he was fiercely competitive and just wanted to win and could back up his talk. Guess what...Kobe is the exact same way!
Somebody has been watching too many "Be Like Mike!" commercials and Space Jam on repeat.
Edit: Ahh...I see. Just created the account within the last month. Troll account? Seems like it.

This is what leads to 8 seed knockouts and 2nd round sweeps. If it weren't for Shaq and the trio of Odom/Bynum/Gasol, Kobe would be nothin but Tmac.
Nothing but Tmac.
FACT.
