Kobe Defends Shot Selection, Vows To Keep Shooting

[Ace]

Kobe Bryant missed 22 of 28 shots in Sunday’s 99-90 loss to the Nuggets.“I had shots, I took them,” he said. If I shoot the ball 40 times and have good looks, I take them. That’s what it is,” he said. Bryant did concede that playing with his wrist is “a pain” but it doesn’t mean he will suddenly became a facilitator instead of a shooter.“I do what I do. If guys are open, I kick it to them, if not I shoot it,” Bryant said. “I play my game, you know what I mean? It stays consistent.”Coach Mike Brown said Bryant needs to get into a rhythm with his wrist, much like he did with his arthritic finger, and adjust his shot.“He might not say it, but it’s tough to hold a microphone with torn ligaments, so now try to shoot with a follow through. That’s a bear,” Brown said. “I’m OK with most of his shots and I told him that.”

Nothing new

Its Kobe

[Giuseppe]

Shooters shoot. If he didn't we'd a lost two in-a-row to the Nuggets.

[Stalin]

lets hope TOSB kobe keeps chucking

[jacobdrj]

That is just Mike Brown's 'dump the ball to the superstar and stand back' offense. Same as in Cleveland. Nothing to see here...

My nligga. When you a scorer you cant just decide not to shoot all of a sudden. You gotta do whats natural to you. Like me... im a boss. I run shit in everything I do. The gal upstairs has a problem with me declaring I run shit. Its no knock on her, but I just cant turn off my dominant aura and run for the hills when shit gets tough like the rest of these weenies do. I speak from a place of authority... online and in person.

Weren't you supposed to leave after the Heat got their shit packed in the finals?

But noooo.... le's create Kobe threads!!!! Even when we are down, which is never long, you have such an obsession with Kobe and the Lakers that you simply cannot resist talking about them.

Loving it! :toast

What are you going to welch on this year when the Bulls keep the Heat from even making it to the finals?

Need to keep up... his latest number is 6-28...

Nope. Not even slightly.

We in Lakerland don't sweat single performances. Especially duing the first weeks of a season.

We are about titles.

It sucked. Not as bad as yours would have though. At least Dallas didn't tank to get us. :lol

The Lakers will be righting that ship long before the Spurs though. Wanna bet on who gets the next title? :toast

You see Nono, I am a Laker fan. I have seen stars come and go. Kobe is just one of many. He will be gone soon and I will still be a Laker fan just as I was before he arrived. I know Kobe messes up like any other player. He's a great player and regardless of all the hate or his mental midget mistakes he has helped bring us 5 titles and will bring a couple more before he is done. And all that time, I get to watch fools like you obsess over him. It all good for me!

Life is sweeeeet! :toast

You can't even walk and life is sweet because the Lakers?.. :lmao

That's one of the most pathetic things I've heard. You would do yourself a huge favor if you killed yourself now...

"I'm OK with most of his shots and I told him that" -Mike Brown

As if Kobe gives a Colorado fuck about what Mike Brown is ok with. He didn't care what Phil thought and Phil was a legend.

Kobe is in retirement mode, building his stats for the hall. He doesn't give two shits about the Lakers, probably because he sees they didn't give two shits about winning this year with the fuck job they pulled off.

No.

I am retiring in Aug-Sept. The Gf and I are building the house as we speak. The boat has been upgraded over the summer and I will be watching my Lakers win titles for years to come while relaxing with my family and friends.

My life is good.

You, you will still be a lying ass with a major obsession about everything Lakers! And I will still be laughing at you as i am today and as I was when your guaranteed title landed in Dallas! :lmao

but back on topic this is a SURPRISE? or some shit to bother posting? Kobe might defer for a quarter a half maybe even a GAME but until he is done playing he is a scorer first.

Ohhh and in jumps another mental midget.

Remember Red, when I told you how easy it is to just ignore someone... like Luva who is under your skin on a daily basis. (thank you for that humor BTW)

Remember when I told you I am not going to respond to any of your posts? Now you are in my message box for just that reason. How awesome is that?

I ignore you and you come begging like a little dog.

CLASSIC!!!!!

oh, so now that I was kind enough to reply to you since you came here I let you know that anymore posts here will also go ignored.

It's so very easy and quite frankly, it's rather nice to not have to correct your moronic posts anymore.

Life is good!!!!!

[Spur_Fanatic]

Why are Laker fans fighting each other?

[cobbler]

We didn't get swept.

No, that would be the year before at the hand of the Suns! :lmao

Last year they just simply lost in 6 games to a team that tanked to get the 8th seed. Ouuuch.

No, that would be the year before at the hand of the Suns! :lmao

Last year was funnier though. Being defending champs and all :lmao

What some of you get is not that Kobe doesn't know how ...it's that his big ass stubborn ego REFUSED that game to adapt. He figured hey im agreat shooter and Galinari is guarding me ...so I will shoot anyway since I'm Kobe emm effin Bryant.

That is part of what makes Kobe great and frustrating he can and sometimes plays the right way other times he goes 6 for twentysomething ...

[Giuseppe]

Thank you.

Nah. I am pretty sure he doesn't know how.

No doubt. too bad he thinks like a chimp when it comes to putting the ball in the basket.

[silverblk mystix]

Kobe will keep shooting-regardless of hurting the team or not.

Kobe will continue to be an adulterer, a cheater, a dishonest person-regardless of hurting others.

Kobe will continue to rape-regardless if no means no.

He is who he is.

Why is anyone surprised?

[Giuseppe]

Kobe will continue to rape-regardless if no means no.

You've no room. Your Neal raped as well.

Room?

Fuck room.

Rape is rape no matter who raped. If Neal raped it would apply. Unfortunately for you, Neal happened to be acquitted.

If Neal had not been acquitted, I would most certainly not be defending him as you defend Kobe-Spur or not.

Yeah, room. Your Neal raped just like my Kobe raped. Don't fret, Silv, they both got away with it. The girls were disposable, and not our wives, sisters, or, mothers.

It's okay.

There must have been some serious fucking evidence in his favor.

Do you defend OJ as well? He was aquitted but we all know he killed.

So you basically create your opinions based on the courts verdicts? Yikes.

No conviction for Kobe BTW.

Kobe payed the girl to save himself of the mess.
And had to do a public apology, on which he got whined and cried.

If Neal did the same, then yes, they are equal.
