Kobe & the Lakers choke away another game

[LBJ 23]

Money, glory, attention, love for the game, records to break, etc etc.

None of the reasons you mentioned apply to this ''winning mentality'' or ''winning basketball'' which I was hearing about all these years on here when it comes to Kobe. I don't like getting into Lebron vs Kobe debate but Kobe fans always used this ''Kobe is a better winner'' argument.

Funny though, points you mentioned above don't remind me of a player with ''ultimate winning mentality'' who will do anything to win, even if that's just a few more wins in the regular season. It reminds me of a very egoistical player who puts ''me'' and ''I'' before anything else.

Missing them 2 free throws was pretty

maybe he is down for the cause unlike nick young in the final game of the 2013 season.

College kids from Alabama let their thoughts be known about Kobe on today's ESPN College Gameday Countdown.

still want to know why the dumb coach didn't design a better play

[oh the horror]

Lakers lost this game on the defensive end of the floor... should have never been this close

funny thing about this season is last year Magic Johnson would have been on twitter ripping D'Antoni to shreds this season silence


Last year 7-8 at this time, this year 3-12 and Magic is silent because it's his buddy B Scott at the helm

This.


They're basically even worse offensively and the same defensively as last season.
