Kobe salty about Klinnsman's comments and Duncan's 5th

[spurraider21]

http://www.insidesocal.com/lakers/2014/06/16/kobe-bryant-laughs-off-jurgen-klinnsmans-criticsm-on-contract-extension/


“Kobe Bryant, for example—why does he get a two-year contract extension for $50 million?” Klinsmann recently told New York Times magazine (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/08/magazine/how-jurgen-klinsmann-plans-to-make-us-soccer-better-and-less-american.html?_r=0). “Because of what he is going to do in the next two years for the Lakers? Of course not. Of course not. He gets it because of what he has done before. It makes no sense. Why do you pay for what has already happened?”

Bryant smiled when those words were read back to him.
“I thought it was pretty funny. I thought it was pretty comical actually,” Bryant said. “I see his perspective. But the one perspective that he’s missing from an ownership point of view is that you want to be part of an ownership group that is rewarding its players for what they’ve done while balancing the team going forward. If you’re another player in the future and you’re looking at the Lakers organization, you want to be a part of an organization that takes care of its players while at the same time planning for the future. Jurgen is a coach, a manager. He’s not a GM or owner of the franchise. When you look at it from that perspective, it changes a little bit. But you probably could have used another player as an example.”


Instead, Bryant appeared more bothered about a certain rival named Tim Duncan tying him for NBA championships after the San Antonio Spurs beat the 2014 Finals against the Miami Heat. Duncan appears in great position to win a sixth ring next season to eclipse Bryant.

“If you ask me if I’m okay with Tim doing it, I’m not,” Bryant said. “I’m not okay with that.”

[Clipper Nation]

So much for Capri's excuse that "Tim's not Kirby's rival, he's Shaq's rival" :lmao

[Koolaid_Man]

He's not..he's being a competitor...he said the same shit last year....one thing for sure though is that the entire CLipper organization is clearly not Kobe's rival :hat

[CitizenDwayne]

Don't really see that as salty. Of course he's irked that the guy he's feuded with for most of his NBA career has now tied his championship count. It's a real shame he'll never be able to ring again. Dude was truly great.

Kobe thinks Laker fans are truly stupid - it's a slap in the face. He's trying to claim his contract doesn't limit LA and basically using the average fan's lack of knowledge to win them over.

No he doesn't...let Kool take you on a journey into the mind of Kobe....see I go into the mind whereas Spur fan be trynna take people into the ass of their superstar....:lol follow me...

Kobe won 5 titles without a paycut...in his mind the Onus is on the Laker brass and not him....so what is he doing? he's challenging them to go out and break the bank...it's their profit margins they should be worried about and not Kobe's....if they're willing to pay him 25 per then he see's no reason they won't go out and spend another 15-20 per for two more stars....basically pay whatever penalty is before you but field a winner...what Spur fan fail to realize is we don't win like the Spurs....Kobe's had 9 coaches during his career and his core team of players has changed often whereas Duncan has played in stability his whole career...the Lakers go out and buy champions whereas the Spurs manipulate players to take less...and convince them that it's noble...put the onus back on the teams and force them to put a winning team on the floor...

[Koolaid_Man]

and Kobe can get away with that because he's in the LA market....it's chess not checkers ok DPG...your limited in knowledge just like height....but it's ok because:

No, you can't.

I knew it was only a matter of seconds before Kirby commented about his superior,

TD, winning his 5th.

Could have started a thead poll about how soon it would come.

Per par.

No diss,

Kirby is a greater player than people give him credit for,

but he anyone who thinks he has 5 Alpha Rings is delusional.

Kobe has 2.5 ish Alpha Rings.

Almost the same as Lebron.

Kobe still earns more than Timmy (or anyone) though. Kobe had a choice to make between asking for less so as to give his team more flexibility to work with in the offseason (which could possibly put this team back in contention immediately since LA is a big market, an attractive destination for big names) and taking the maximum amount of money possible, and he chose the latter. Even a prime Kobe couldn't win championships with Nick Young being the 3rd best player on his team tbh, he knew that but he still took money over rings. Nigga has nary room to complain tbh.

Please. He was never indicted. Sure, I handed up one, but, nobody outside this room gave a shit. Duncan never said a word until this June about last June. Then acted like he was denied by unknown forces not named the Heat, when in reality he fucked himself in association with his coach. And of course Media let it go and took the angle of (revenge) but it does not stand the litmus test and any fool can see that, ez.

Cully, it's over. Duncan catapulted himself to top-five all time great status by ringing yesterday. The Kobe reality is this: Duncan>Kobe. Let us proceed Cully by taking your loss like a real man.

I don't do the top-five shit, ez. I have never have. I do the ring count, you know that. You have the bag until at least next June. You had your opportunity last June and fucked it up. Have some patience until next June.

If you watch the video, Kobe is making the Duncan comment in a very "tongue in cheek" manner.

I don't understand how you see a player averaging 15-10 and winning a championship, and proceed to call him a tired old shitbag... it makes no sense, especially when we have a guy in his mid 30's nursing injury after injury, and can't even play while still believing he's the best player in the league

Because that was the agreement, 21. I didn't hear a discouraging word at +5, 28 seconds left Game 6 last June.

Nope. Tit for Tat. It's a long fall from your high horse. Kobe gave away 2 and has a tape. I've everything covered and my team is the last one standing.

The shitbag was well deserved after getting swept by your Suns in '10. It was well deserved in '11 when Memphis took our lunch money, and Gasol outplayed Duncan. Hell, even after a terrific finals performance when he was the Spurs leading scorer and rebounder, and they blew it, I'll disagree but understand. But after coming back this strong all season and winning a chip, I just don't see it.

[J.T.]

Kobe should "get over himself" as Pop would say and take on a 2013 Tracy McGrady role at the end of the Spurs bench. Him and Duncan can get #6 together while history can remember it was Duncan's career dominance and longevity that made it all possible

[DMC]

But, he was never forced at the trophy case to give one back.

Tim is an indian giver though, because he took it back yesterday.

[Mugen]

Boiled down, Tim was leading his championship team in minutes during the playoffs, while a certain player was leading his lottery team to fishing excursions in mid-April.

Only one of those behaviors sound like the doings of a Tired Old Shitbag tbh.

Now let us proceed.............


Duncan - 5

Vanessa's Bag Holder - 3. 5

Tracy, like Oden, didn't get shit for that legriding. Two washed up faggots who left how they came. I am assuming Oden won't be back next season.

Well, the thing with those two is they were signed to fill legitimate needs on the 2013 Spurs and 2014 Heat. The Spurs had just jettisoned Stephen Jackson recently and were looking for more depth at the small forward position. Everyone knows the biggest hole on the Heat is size down low. The thing with McGrady and Oden is age (probably for both, since Oden looks like he went to high school with Tim Duncan at this point) and injuries have just destroyed who they used to be. In the end they were just feel-good stories that would have made the victory sweeter. However, as we know, the 2013 Spurs and 2014 Heat failed to win the title, so there are no happy endings for those guys.

In McGrady's case, he was always going to be a human victory blunt. Everyone knows the Spurs make you earn your minutes if you crack the rotation, and getting signed right before the playoffs starts pretty much gets you the bench cheerleader gig for keeps.
