Kobe's sick; game-time decision

[Killbot]

Kobe could technically fake the flu, but diarrhea is not a joke.

I think the problem is that you haven't pointed to any specific history or incidents to back up this hypothesis. Your assertion has been that it's very possible that he is faking a sickness or injury today because he's overly concerned about his image and that he's had a history of faking sickness and/or injuries. We've asked you to back that up, but you've only been able to supply "well, I seem to remember some time ago (can't find the link, and I don't remember who said it) when he was accused of..." statements.

It seems that you've come to a conclusion and you're looking for evidence to back it up. If unchecked, the next time he's sick or injured, you'll be sure to say something like... "ugh, remember during the 2012 playoffs against Denver when he claimed to be sick... he does this all the time, and people have called him out on it pretty often" without any evidence to the contrary.

But I did list a few incidents. I could have mentioned others but I don't remember them too well (just vaguely).

I did backup parts of my posts by posting links.

I posted examples that showed Kobe does have motive/intention and history of doing shit to elevate his stature.

Next thing some posters here are gonna tell me is that I'm making up the entire Suns 4th quarter debacle.

"buh....buh....buh....buh....Kobe's faking....I just know he is...even though I can't prove it and admit to not being able to prove it....You'll just have to take my word for it cuz he's supposedly done it before....why won't people believe me."

I guess the people in Denver poisoned Kobe's food.

Oh, noez...19 points already for Kobe. He has to be faking it, that Jordan wannabe.
BTW, where are the videos of him vomiting or having diarrhea to prove he's sick?

Also, for those who didn't know it, Jordan was himself copying Magic who played with the flu during the 1988 Finals, while Magic was copying Bird who played against the Hawks with bronchial pneumonia. And Isiah, being the asshole he'd always been, tried to steal the glory from Magic by pulling a Willis Reed and faking an injury during the very same Finals.

MJ's flu game was in the finals.

If Kobe is incredibly obsessed with copying MJ, and he is faking it, why would he fake it in a less important game? If he's so obsessed with copying MJ, he would fake it in the finals to be as much like MJ as he could.

Hell, why wouldn't he have faked in game 7 against the Celtics? He would of surpassed MJ there in pure drama, plus have the built-in excuse if they lost you dumbasses claim he wants.

Retards.

[TheBigVeto]

[Mr. Jabbar]

Sick kobe plays with more heart than rest of the team healthy combined. /thread.

[LakersReign]

fair enough.

You do realize that you(andgar) just made fun of yourself for being so stupid....right?

OOPS!!!!

[AMISTILLILL]

Wow. This could be absolutely terrible for LA if they come out lackadaisical like they did in game 5.
