Byron Scott: Kobe Bryant has "earned that right" to take dumb shots

[AintNoSunshine]

Wow so his own coach calls his shot selection dumb? Kobe gets no fking respect.

[D. Toretto]

He has earned the right to take dumb shots?

Tough shots... okay... but dumb shots? What a coach! "He has earned the right to make his team lose!"

It's a fitting ending...maybe the only way it could end after the injury. If you didn't see this coming you weren't watching. His body is done, he should retire. Obviously he won't bc that is who he is....a stubborn SOB who has never listened to anyone regarding his limitations. It's the exact reason why he was such a great player.

He's also said the day he averaged under 20, he's done. That day is here.

He's also said the day he averaged under 20, he's done. That day is here.

And he will retire at the end of the year. Don't think retiring mid season is something that he wants to do.

again, byron being the biggest kobe dickrider out there

This is so stupid. Could you imagine Pop saying that? If Duncan started chucking terrible shots, Pop would be down his throat.

Byron really needs to get it together. This quote is unacceptable.

I love how Scott is talking about how the team needs to be more unselfish in general while at the same time endorsing the play of the leader and the most selfish player on the team.

I wonder if he realizes that after the Lakers he will never get a head coaching job again. Probably.

He never deserved any respect to begin with.

But anyway, we now cannot say Kobe is not coachable. Byron basically suggested Kobe to continue taking dumb shots and he followed just that.
