Of course. There is no more upside, so they'll sell him out on the trip down in the elevator. They're rats, vermin. But, I blame him to a large extent. He sold out after he raped and now he has to pay up. If he hadn't raped he wouldn't have had to go to them and put himself at their mercy. I'm angry at him because he was that||close to grabbing onto them and hopping into the empty elevator shaft. But, you do not always get what you want, Kobe or me.

Also:

How come now, NOW they want to do shooting percentages on contested jumpers?

"Dead last in defensive RPM"



Kobe actually might be one of the worst starters in the NBA, despite Culburn's 25-5-5.

[m>s]

He's always been overrated, age is just magnifying flaws that were always there all along IMHO

[Clipper Nation]

Forget 25/5/5, it's all about -0.2/-2.9/-0.3

[m>s]

For instance kobe has NEVER been a good defender, that was all media awards

Yeah, he's only been a net positive on the defensive end like twice in his career.

[m>s]

He would put forth efforts in little spurts that were always too short to matter, and they'd let him get away with hand checks and fouling while fawning over how awesome he was. Dude nefer played 48 minutes on that end.

[~O~]

Kobe was done the year they got Dwight Howard. Kobe is just senile and arrogant. This arrogance will continue to blemish his already tarnished career in basketball as long as he continues to believe he's still "the guy".

Kirby is raping the Lakers.

Definitely one of the more overrated defenders who got praise by far and not nearly as clutch the last 10 years as people act. Infact he is horrible int he clutch if you want to be honest, misses a ton of shots on end and has a horrible %. Great player and first ballot HOF but overrated.

Duncan is also one of the most overrated big men as well. Getting carried by Avery in 1999, DRob in 2003, saved by Manu from 10/27 in 2005, and then continuing to be carried Tony Parker in 2007 and by Danny Green and Kawhi in 2014 after being cucked by Stephen Jackson. He became such a deadweight cuck in 2014 that he had two people carry him to a championship.

Avery shoulda won Finals MVP in '99.

No no no... he's a great defender. Remember when he blocked LeBron in that all star game?

Holy .

I knew Kobe was as overrated as they come, but this is absolutely a blood bath.

At the same time, it makes what shaq and MVPau did even more impressive.
