Kobe Should Ring Chase Next Summer...

[G-Funk]

If The Lakers Fail To Put A Contender Together Or Will It Tarnish His Legacy Like Lebron? He Can Help A Handful Of Teams Get To That Next Level.

imo kobe doesnt want/need to ring chase, what else has he got to prove really, 5 rings in all sorts of fashions while being loyal and sticking thru bad times. no need to pull a lebron and tarnish a perfect legacy for the greatest nba franchise

[alec613]

Dude would rather retire than ring chase

[Quickening]

He's a team cancer at this point, no ones winning shit with Kobe shot jacking and being a turnstile on defence.

it won't be the same as what Lebron did, if Kobe decides to sign with another team, which he most likely won't. Kobe's going to be 37 next season, way past his supposed prime years. Whereas Lebron was 27 already in his prime, or about to hit his prime and he teams up with 2 other superstars in their primes.

Different situations. But all the lebron fans and kobe haters will always dog Kobe for whatever he does. So shouldn't be a surprise. But logically speaking, why would it tarnish his legacy? He's already done it all.

he should either stay with tha lakers, retire, or sign with tha knicks.

Ur right, HE can actually say he won a championship 4 the team he left.

[pegasus]

He should come to Chicago. If he helps us win, that would only add to his legacy.

Kobetards hate on Lebron for teaming up, now wants Kobe to do the same but with no hate. GTFO with that hypocrisy. Why does he want more sidekick rings? Hasn't his legacy been tarnished by not winning with Gasol AND Howard and Nash?

If Kobe wasn't injured in the playoffs they would've beat both the Spurs and the Grizzs, FACT!

If Kobe really wanted a chance at another ring he would sign for the vets minimum with the Lakers next season. That would give them the space to go out and sign two max players. It might give them a chance to rebuild fast so in the next couple years they would have a contender and it might give him the chance at one more ring. That would certainly one up the Lebron, Wade, Bosh talk of taking less money. I don't see Kobe leaving the Lakers though.

[outbreak]

I don't see him leaving at this point of his career, but let's not forget that he has asked to be traded in the past when the team was struggling. If he does leave it's totally different to what Lebron did. Lebron left in his prime, Kobe has already proven himself and would be leaving in his twilight to cap off his career. I'm not a fan of either of them but that's the way I see it.

[Lebron23]

Shaq carried Kobe to 3 championship rings. Prime Shaq > 12 and 13 Bosh and Wade.

[Real Men Wear Green]

As funny as it may be to see the Kobe stans react to Bryant backing up Thabo Sefolosha being a career Laker is a major part of Bryant's legacy and so is being "the Man." He's not going to give up both for a ring that people won't view as being on par with his others.

[Frozen1]

Forget about that, kobe wants to win his sixth ring while still getting paid $30 million.
