Kobe's message to Spurs - 2001 vs. Twin Towers

[tbonewalker]

In 2001 (after the Lakers won their first of three consecutive championships) Kobe heard rumors that their first championship was lucky because Duncan was hurt.

Thank goodness these two teams ended up meeting in the playoffs that season to settle it on the court and show the world who the better team was. Kobe decided he wanted to dominate the Spurs and send a message to them by posterizing Duncan and Robinson every chance he got.

In their house.

"We were getting after them the whole series," Bryant said. "We didn't let down. Even at times when it seemed like we should, we actually turned it up."

In front of 36,000 Spurs fans, he simply played one of his greatest games.

His 7 straight baskets in the 1st half help his team to take the lead. Torching the Spurs and impressing his own teammates, Kobe scored 28pts, recorded 5 dunks in the 2nd half. He finished with 45pts & 10rbds.

At the end of the game, Shaq told the journalists something to remember: “I told Kobe he was my idol. I’m serious. He’s the best player in the league, by far.”

In Kobe's four games vs the Spurs he averaged 33 pts 7rbs, 7ast, 2stl and a block on top.

Four games was all it took to send the Spurs home empty handed again, this time with no excuses.

this is clearly the reason why Spurs fans hate Kobe. he's a spurs killer...

just like manu fans hating sasha...he's the manu stopper.

[Ashy Larry]

People talk about Bean and his Finals MVPs. This was the real NBA Finals. That shit with the Lakers and Sixers - those clearly weren't the two best teams. The two best teams on the floor were the Spurs and the Lakers with San Antone having home court. The best player on the floor in that series was Bryant. Shaquille may have receive the finals MVP for that sixers series but we all know who should have gotten it for the real Finals.

Kobe admitted to being a sidekick during the entire 3-peat..he did it off the record, so there wasn't an ulterior motive or anything..if Kobe says it, how can Laker fans deny it?..

Everybody knows how the Spurs plan against Kobe..even when he was arguably the best player in the NBA in 2008, they still hesitated to ever double team him..

Kobe's performance against the Spurs has absolutely nothing to do with why I hate him..

It has almost about everything to do with why you hate him. You hate greatness. You hate his success. You hate his performances against the Spurs. You hate that he has more rings than the entire Spur history including Tim Duncan.

You hate that the Spurs are mired in mediocrity while Kobe is on top again.

You hate that Kobe repeated multiple times while the Spurs never have.

I hated Kobe before Shaq led the 3-peat, I hated Kobe before the Gasol trade made the Lakers relevant again, I hated Kobe before he repeated again, I hated him before he surpassed Duncan in rings..

Did you think that maybe, just maybe, hating a snitching rapist that cries when he doesn't get what he wants, quits on his team and actually demands that certain teammates get traded(even going to the media and naming them, embarrassing them), is normal behavior?..

For the better part of NBA history you are correct. But not for that 5 year period in which the Spurs won three, while the Lakers lost to a team in the finals the Spurs beat in the same venue the very next season, then missed the PO's, then dropped a 3-1 lead, then lost in the 1st round in 5.

I hated Kobe before the 3peat. Reasons why I hate Kobe are as follows:

a snitching rapist
cries when he doesn't get what he wants
quits on his team
actually demands that certain teammates get traded

You hated Kobe before the 3peat yet every BS reason you list happened after the 3peat.

I didn't hate Kobe in those years, until around 1999, even though he was getting unearned hype before that..

- Fake personality..
- Reportedly demanded to play for the Lakers before the draft, already showing signs of being a primadonna..
- The copying of Jordan, including creepily mimicking his mannerisms..
- The ridiculous arrogance from a spoiled kid from the suburbs..
- His fans/media..Al-Quobe has been comparing him to Jordan and using extreme ways to hype him up since 1998-1999, maybe even before that, back when he was being compared to Vince Carter..

My hatred for Kobe has always been there, although obviously not to the extent you see today..the alleged rape, the snitching, the 2004 Finals, the trade demands, shitting on the organization, shitting on Bynum through the media, quitting on his team and the many more incidents made my hatred into what it is today..

Actually hating a player because he plays well against your team is just silly..it's pretty sad that you can't see why people hate Kobe..

[PGDynasty24]

Zosa getting trolled the shit out of Machine. hahahah classic

[mingus]

those teams didn't stand a chance against LA. Duncan was pretty much by himself. they wouldn't have beat the '99 team though. 2 years later the team around TD wasn't good enough and Robinson was good but nowhere near great anymore.

the arrival of Manu changed everything for the Spurs, and for the Lakers for that matter. it's just too bad Duncan never really had anyone between 00-02 that could be considered great.

that's the price you pay being a fan of a small market team that (until recently) couldn't land anyone. however, it's also what made our '99 and '03 x10 better, knowing that we're one of the smallest markets and we beat a historic franchise--twice.

So in other words, you are a Spur fanboy who thinks it's OK to judge others on a personal level.

Sorry kid, but this is not a drama queen personals forum. This is a basketball forum. We are talking about Kobe Bryant the basketball player not Kobe Bryant the person. Get a clue and check yourself before you judge so that I don't have to check you.

Kobe the basketball player is in your head.

Your hate for Kobe has grown with every championship he has won.

You laker fans need to stop pretending I have no sense of perspective. I understand the Lakers are the number 1, or 2 at the lowest, franchise in the history of the league. The Spurs are usually ranked 3rd or 4th, and despite the fact that its a wide margin between 2 and 3 I still feel proud that my favorite team has had so much success, even if the championships only come in a 9 year period.

I'm not going to convince myself the Spurs history trumps LA's, but you can't convince me to not happy about my own team. And if my team was dominant in the league over the best franchise in the league historically for half a decade or more then I'm going to be proud.

I believe that every Spurs fan that became a fan of the Spurs post Duncan is extremely happy with their team.

The next 50 years will be a bitch for them but I seriously doubt 90% stick around for that anyway.

Every Spurs fan here today will die with the Spurs having only 4 titles. I doubt Spurstalk is even around 20 years from now after the mass abandonment takes place.

I believe that every Spurs fan that became a fan of the Spurs post Duncan is extremely happy with their team.

The next 50 years will be a bitch for them but I seriously doubt 90% stick around for that anyway.

Every Spurs fan here today will die with the Spurs having only 4 titles. I doubt Spurstalk is even around 20 years from now after the mass abandonment takes place.


san antonio is not as superficial as L.A i know thats hard for you to understand but the spurs are part of an everyday routine. when we sucked there were plenty of fans

Anyone who gets trolled by the shit poster that is TheMachine needs to reevaluate their posting strategy.

I'm sorry that the Duncan era hasn't been a rollercoaster of kobe whining about shaq during the three-peat, kobe whining about shaq after the pistons, kobe whining about his teammates during the ensuing 5 years, and then putting shaq down when he finally had more rings. Oh and being accused of rape, and having the greatest coach of all time smear him in a book.


And now I'll fill in for lakerfan since you're all busy watching the game.

History: show me proof that kobe whined! you don't know shit, I wanna talk to some one who knows something. I AM NOT A TROLL!

Machine: I <3 photoshop

Deadly: crofl /thread.

Culburn: Gary Neal is a rapist too, trust me I met him at the last convention, that dude has issues. -and/or- Phil carried his prototype X hat in his hands to Kobe, and begged Mamba for help putting it on.

You're welcome.

not to worry, i'm sure generous laker fans will graciously continue their missionary work by coming here to provide thoughtful basketball analysis AND valuable experience in running a succesfull franchise, just as they do now, by posting photos of their players' girlfriends and discrediting other teams and players achievements.

Some say this is all born of insecurity, or even closet homosexuality disguised as admiration for a celebrity, but I actually appreciate it, because if we're ever going challenge the celtics as the best franchise in NBA history, we'll need to learn from laker fans' runner up experience. one day, we'll storm celticstalk.com together, friend. until then, continue enlightening us all. Since we're clearly not relevant now (thankfully you remind us of this every 3 hours), i'm sure you'll still be here 20 years from now to keep the fight going.

Your survey course psych class isn't going to get you anywhere in this discussion.

This shithole won't be around because once pansy Spurs fans disappear other teams fans won't have anyone to beat up on. This will all just be a distant memory just like the idea of the Spurs actually winning anything ever again.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Getting defensive for why others hate Kobe..
:lol Trying to tell people why they hate Kobe..

[Booharv]

LOL TheMachine setting the bait...and Zosa fell for it... hook, line and sinker.

Why are you using this troll account to make regular posts?
