You realize it took me 4-5 days to DL that game off a torrent, right? I'd waste 11 gigs (all HD) just to upload Kobe getting dunked on lol. Never mind the 9 other minutes of just him scoring.
SMH.

[QUOTE]I'm sorry I don't worship Kobe 24/7 like you do. [/quote] Worship? right..
I don't think he's the greatest of all-time.. don't believe he's top 5 All-Time, and had him behind LeBron for well over two seasons and Wade just last season. Kobe worship my left nut.
[QUOTE]Actually it is. Prove me wrong and post "another" thread where I've made the same topic. I'll be waiting.[/QUOTE] I don't have the search function, and can't look up your thread history..
and even then, mods get rid of a ton of junk like that so it's probably deleted... so no.

Just using your own logic against you. Keep up. You, Jacks and all the other detractors love to call people who don't praise Kobe everytime they make a post, haters. It's cool, though... Continue on.
Well.. this is rather boring.
See ya.
Speaking as a Laker fan I could care less about Kobe's personality, his private life or any of that.
As long as he continues to help the Lakers win that's all I care about.
Why his "personality" deserves 12 pages of conversation is baffling to me.
I do think Kobe tries too hard to be politically correct in his interviews. But I don't think his personality is contrived. I mean, he did grow up watching Jordan so it's no surprise there is some similarity between how they act on the court.
What I don't understand is why the critics bother writing stuff about him talking smack against his opponents. People have been talking smack for years. It's basketball folks. Like or it not, psychology plays a huge factor in determining outcomes of games. Just ask Phil Jackson as a coach or even KG as a player.
If they need to write articles about unsportsmanlike showboating, try Lebron James dancing on the bench during Cavalier blowouts last few seasons. There is no room for such childish behavior when games have already been decided. That's the difference.

Because, we can't discuss weather his Titles and Finals MVP's are contrived...:confusedshrug:
I'm obviously a fanboy but I don't really see any actions that lead me to believe he's fake or anything of the sort. The scowl doesn't mean his personality is contrived, I just don't see what he's done that makes you believe he does the whole Jordan like persona on purpose versus he's naturally just a similar person.
So if anyone can explain why the best perimeter player since Jordan is supposed to be the polar opposite of Jordan personality wise I'd love to hear it.

you can't post that.. didn't you read the thread it's only in the last two years he's been making that face since he contrived to be whatever it is they are saying he contrived...lol
i repeat no photos of kobe scowling or gritting his teeth from the early 2000's or 90's it screws with the agenda of the thread and those who have embraced it's stupidity
are you serious ?

No one is using it as an argument for anything. Where do you get this stuff from? This has been one of the most cordial Kobe threads I have ever seen and you're one of the few who is messing it up with your lame ass accusations.[/B]
That guy wasn't knit picking, how many times have you seen player yell at a commentator during the game?[/QUOTE]
lol yup he definitely mad
Edit:yea who the hell cares if he's contrived? Like that has a lot to do with how he plays basketball.

Why this discussion went beyond even 5 pages is beyond me.
Mayhems (Cathc24), no offense man, but the answers to this thread was as predictable as can be.
The second I read this on the main forum, I expected the outcome to be like this.
The same guys who have been here for years taking shots at Kobe and wishing him failure were going to agree that Kobe is a phony or whatever, and then the same group that adores Kobe was going to defend him.
I haven't really been paying attention to Kobe when they show him on screen. I sort of tune out the Kobe mugshots and Kobe stories, and just try to watch the game.
Though what I have noticed, was that whole bit about how Kobe sometimes doesn't take any shots or create any plays for his teammates for a quarter, just to "prove" that his team sucks without him. Though, that's not really "without him", it's them minus a SG who does nothing but throw a non beneficial pass any time he gets the ball so they have to play 4 on 5 while he takes an on-court break. That whole routine was actually the first thing about Kobe that made me start to dislike his personality.
His dumb faces aren't a big deal though. He should be able to act however he wants, so long as how he's acting like a professional, and not like a teen or something. So not too much reason to be upset about faces he makes and stuff I don't think.
[QUOTE=tpols]Jordan was actually a bigger asshole than kobe. Dude trash talked like no other and always had a mean ass look on his face. But of course its not contrived for him.[/QUOTE]
It's not, since he's always done that since the 80's, and it wasn't an act. That's how he actually was.
Do you not realize 'contrived" means "planned or forced, artificial"?
[QUOTE=StacksOnDeck]Knoe : Kobe won't ever win without Shaq
Two years later: I didn't know they would have gotten Gasol :(
Anything dude says is a joke. Didn't even read his essay.[/QUOTE]
How's life with your head in the sand? Is that hot or cold?
[QUOTE=B-Easy]well, watch Kobe get stripped or lose the ball ....hell flail his arm, punch the air .. scream at the ref ,more often than any player w/o getting a tech most of the time.
Its not big deal to me, it doent make me dislike him or anything .. but he is one of the biggest babies when it comes to making mistake on offense. its just pretty clear to see...and I can see how it can rub people the wrong way.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, that's the one part of what he "does" that I always believe is real. He's always getting upset over every call even if they're legit. Gasol and Fisher do it too. Gasol's always yelling at refs, Fisher's always walking around with his hands on his hips and his head cocked to the side with a stupid look on his face like a little black girl when they pretend like they're ignoring you, to show his disdain for calls right after he's just whined about them.
Which annoys me since the Lakers get some of the best benefits from calls overall of any team in the NBA. There's a site for that somewhere, I can't find it though. Been looking for it for like 15 mins just now. Thunder I think led the league in calls-for vs calls-against last year. At least towards the end of the season. Lakers were like #4. A couple Econf teams were up there too, but I don't recall which ones they were. Wish I could find the site. :( I remember googling it after I was almost ready to puke after seeing how the refs single-handedly brought the Thunder back into a game last season. They made 3 FGs in a quarter and scored almost 30 points (off FTs). >_> And got 5 TO's off calls.
Anyway, it amazes me how they don't get T'd up for that stuff, especially when star players for other teams get ejected for laughing while sitting on the bench after a bogus call.
why does it matter....

You're right though bro:oldlol: (kobe's been doing the scowl his whole career):hammerhead:
if i wasn't a laker fan, i would hate the guy.. i understand why people hate the guy.. every aspect of his personality is seems fake and over done.. nothing ever seems real and genuine...
Lets make this hole thread into much shorter words:Hate, and of course i can judge a person behind my computer screen right?

I hate kobe, he is to good. :lol some people hate kobe because he try to be like mike? he just doing what every boys in 90s was dreaming about. if i has kobe skill and talent i would too.
Well he is a bit contrived ofcourse, its very easy to see and i have followed him and his personality live since 1996.... but unlike today it was much worse in his younger days.
But who cares... and who cares about those haters? Skip Bayless is like the biggest Kobe loving Lebron hating moron and the football guy obviously didnt like Kobe, good TV i guess as they sit there and shout in eachothers mouths like 7 year olds: "He is best!" "Na aaaa, he is better!" "No wai! He sux!" "No!" "Yes" "nooo!!"
Like I've always said, "Fukc Kobe!" Great talent, fake jerk.

Yeah who can bare anymore of the silly/obssessive pysco-babble that comes from guys like Know it all /andgar 93 .
Brilliant how they can diagnose a man that they have never met nor talked to before. No wonder why my sisters psychology degrees are useless when you have these idiotic/obssessive internet psychologiosts:facepalm
This is a bunch of BS,KOBE was demonized by the media after his "rape" case,He is an egotistical prick but i bet he also felt betrayed when he was not glorified like MJ was in the media so he turned his back on them when they started to vilify him...
Now MJ and Kobe are totally different monsters and im not a Kobe stan what so ever but its just strange he took that more quiet mentality after the whole "rape" issue came up,He backed up on the outward ego and kept quiet like he was told to do by his lawyers and P.R. guys and now he is demonized for that as well,i dont feel its contrived and its how his "surpressed"( i know right?) ego is protraying itself...
I just started posting on this site,ive been reading for years though,so if any of you care the reason why i say "rape" and not rape is because ive heard numerous stories just like im sure you guys have and one was of pre-rape kobe paying my friend 10k in Vegas to **** him and keep her mouth shut,she showed me,bank account an all now you dont think he would have done the same thing then the girl thought..."10k is not enough... i can ruin this guy AND get way more money" or even " damn i heard other girls got money why not me" etc...
Again my opinion,Flame away if you must.
remember when Raja Bell clotheslined him?:oldlol:
He jumped up and brushed off his shoulders... lol.. that was the most contrived sh*t I ever saw
yes the guy is contrived...
he has always been that way

Who cares if a bunch of no-life losers think Kobe's personality is contrived. He's a ****ing athlete and a great one too, which is all we (real basketball fans) care about. Hate comes from envy so it's a complement to him that so many people hate him. Clearly these people would love to be in his position....he's a millionaire who has achieved every kind of individual and team success in the NBA, who is worshiped by fans over the world, travels in a personal helicopter...and he's got a hot wife. It's not called hate, it's jealousy.

Thousands, and thousands of people and not just haters say there's a genuine factor missing with many of his behaviors.
