Incidentally 83 mil is the net worth of the Spurs owner...:lol

[Venti Quattro]

but is it worth it?

every fucking cent

[JamStone]

Yes. Because he sells. Whether his level of play has dropped off or not, he's relevant, sells tickets, sells jerseys, gets TV ratings, and keeps Kobe fanbois and Kobe haters like you alike talking about him even when he's not playing. He's one of those pro athletes who can carry a franchise with his celebrity as much as with his play. If he wasn't worth it, you wouldn't make so many threads and posts about him. He sells. That alone makes him worth it.

Gosh, I sure hope that is the case...

Kobe = Zero ring w/o Pau/Shaq

What does that say about the Spurs organization to you? :toast

[Sportcamper]

Yes it's worth it because all those Kobe nuthuggers that live in the cesspool that is L.A. county will continue to buy his merc

That hurt my feelings, I live in LA County...:depressed

[Bill_Brasky]

For any other team, no, but LA shits money so it's kinda NBD to them.

I wasn't talking about the business.
I meant "Is this money worth of chasing a NBA title?(unlikely)

That Kobe owns them at 5>4 and again at 83>82 million :lol

The NBA is a business. That's absolutely part of a player's worth, particularly a max franchise player. It cant be ignored. As long as the Lakers stay relevant and sell, Kobe is worth the money. If his level of drops ends up negatively affecting the Lakers' ability to sell, then he'll start not bring worth it.

Chasing championships don't always end up with winning it all. Take the Spurs for example. They haven't won a title in 5 years. Does that mean their highest paid players aren't worth their salaries? No. As long as a team wins and legitimately competes and sells tickets, most of the time that's enough to make those highest paid players worth the money. Its about the product on the court AND the ability to sell.

[TimmehC]

Yes it's worth it because all those Kobe nuthuggers that live in the cesspool that is L.A. county will continue to buy his merch. They will continue to pay the most expensive tickets and fee's in the Nba. This will continue to drive the "value" of the team up and buss can continue to loose millions playing poker with Larry flint.

It's Show Business and the illusion that is KOME Bryant is enough to get all the Hollywood elite down to the forum to be seen.

FUCK LA

Slow your roll... there's more Spurs fans here than you probably think.

[Koolaid_Man]

Like you.

Tale of the Tape:

Deepy -5'0 - 133lbs with a 24 inch reach

Jammie - 4'8 123 pounds very petite with an 18 inch reach

Advantage - Deepy

Outlook - Jammy comes out swinging and flailing his little arms he takes a right to the temple and falls...DPG stands over him..Jammie hits him the balls..DPG goes down..Jammie turns his back to celebrate while DPG is down...DPG gets up and jumps on Jammie's back...and his fucking back breaks due to his petite stature....

DPG is declared the winner of 5'0 and under fight card :lol

[JamStone]

[pass1st]

Kobe brings in more than he takes, tbh. If he were to be traded, there are some teams that might consider it based on the possibility that he will put their franchise under the media microscope.

[JamStone]

I feel so sad that you didn't include a youtube song with that post

[DPG21920]

Sure. Since when do I deny that? Since when would a commrnt like that hurt my e-feelings?

Wasn't trying to hurt your feelings :lol

Just read that post and how you called out someone specifically for being a Kobe hater & found it funny that you are the other side of the coin.

Also, Kool is an idiot & shorter than both of us. I bet he wishes he didn't let that one slip :lol

[baseline bum]

Honestly, Kobe is worth way more than his paycheck, as are all superstar players in the NBA.

[Venti Quattro]

He also made players better than they were despite the idiot claims that :cry :cry Kobe doesn't make his teammates better! :cry :cry

:lol sure ok my Deepy....

You won't let this height thing die will you...still trying to draw me into a debate because you're literally 5'0..listen don't get mad at me..Luva told me you were a short dude...so be mad at him... I just ran with it...

I've never denied being a Kobe fan and all of you know that. So it is what it is.

Kool is mere slapstick type entertainment. He's not a problem.

I love seeing Jammy and Deepy go at it..It's like watching midget mud wrestling :lmao

Cute and Petitte little niggas

[JamStone]

Quick question. Wasn't it your buddy lakaluva who said "real men don't wear pink?"

Your manhood gets called into question by your own homey and you still have his back like a good little soldier? How does it feel to be bitchmade, Kool?

[Medvedenko]

When you look at the cap and bringing guys in, the salary is egregious, however; the marketibility, endorsements, cache, world renown and he's pretty much the face of the NBA it's definitely a sound investment. He's regressing and will continue to do so. Once he starts to buy in to Bynum and Sessions as the youth the Lakers will be fine. Will he do so, as history has shown are in spurts it's a waiting game.

There is no one in the NBA like Kobe. There are better players at this stage of his career, but no one is as important in the scheme of things.

[JamStone]

[Koolaid_Man]

Lol, so you're the bottom then?


I'm not a Spinner though :lol...

Cully and Luva are bosses I work for them...they pay me a good salary though

and Kori is my dominatrix....I love the pain :lol I love crying :lol

[JamStone]

I won't call it. If being bitchmade pays you enough, stay bitchmade son. Live it. Love it. Embrace it.

Cheers to your bitchmadeness son.

[Koolaid_Man]

Did you not see Kori's thread to Cully and by ext Kool......She was supposed to have un Pinked me by now according to her own rules...But she cares that I called her lame...she's taking my very minor criticism of her personally.She wants to show me and Cully that she's in Control....and what she doesn't realize is that I love being dominated by her hands...she's just using you guys to do her dirty work so that TimVp doesn't get alarmed at the back and forth between us..She cares what I think about her...and that's more than enough for me...

[Koolaid_Man]

I'm glad I could draw you out today Jammie...with your cute little petite self - lol

[JamStone]

Shrugs ok.

Celebrate your bitchmadeness, Kool.

I sure did. Here's the thing... I once let this bitch handcuffs me and she fucked around and put her panties over my head. Under normal circumstances id never agree to that shit. But what can you do when you're cuffed and getting fucked.

:lol

And so if Kori's gonna fuck me with them cuffs on I'm gonna grin and bear it.

[mercos]

Yes, Kobe is worth his contract. He is still the best or second best shooting guard in the league. He is currently leading the league in scoring. When you take into account all he has accomplished for his franchise, on top of his international popularity, he is worth every penny. Given that money is not really an issue with the Lakers ownership it is really a no brainer.
