Why does Kobe Bryant constantly try to seem tough in the media?

[brock_lobster]

You all have witnessed this at some point. Instead of being articulate and speaking like a mature adult, he chooses to use profanity in his interviews in an attempt to seem like he is tough as nails. For example, when asked about passing the torch to the young guys, he says "I ain't passing shit" (this can be taken in both a metaphorical sense and a literal sense). Why? Honestly, he sounds a bit afraid of the fact that his heyday has come and gone and he now defers to the real #1 option on the Lakers, Pau Gasol.

My point is, is it really necessary to say "I ain't passing shit" versus something more respectful? He always struck me as a very fake human being, and this is just another example of him projecting his hardass persona while being nothing more than a timid child on the inside (as evidence -- 6-24 in Game 7 of the finals).

Discuss.

"I ain't passing shit" is just the competitor in him speaking about his ability as a basketball player. Wouldn't you be just as competitive when your going for a 6th championship?

Cause he's badass mofo that will drill a game winner in your face.

Like he did to the Spurms all those years.

You can argue about Cuban's classlessness but the spurs are all class and you are obviously trolling with these comments.

Incase you didn't realize those guys who were cursing were seriously butthurt. Basically your showing the example of how grown men cry, by cursing. I wonder when you are on the recreation center you are one those guys that act loud, pound their chest and try to annoy people to a win. Good for you.:rolleyes
