:toast to Kobe

[ambchang]

OK guys, I admit it, I am huge Kobe fan. Y'all may not believe me as you have all painted me as a hater through the years, but when you really think about it, why would I know so much about a player I hate? Other than Spurs player, I probably know more about Kobe than any other player who ever played.

I am a HUGE fan of his game, and here is why .....

He beats the Spurs biggest rival, the Lakers, like nobody else can.

The Lakers were the only team the Spurs had a losing record against. Then Kobe happened, and now, the Spurs have a winning record against them as well.

The Lakers NEVER missed more than 2 playoffs over a 10 year span (mid 70s had two straight losses), but they are on track to do that this year (04-05, 13-14, 14-15, OK, 11 year span). Thanks to Kobe.

The Lakers NEVER rebuild. They now have to.

Think about it, nobody made the Lakers as bad as they are now, and it's all because of Kobe.

Mikan retired? No problem, we got Baylor. Baylor's done? Fine, we got West, then Chamberlain, then Jabbar, then Magic, then Shaq, the MVPau. Not even HIV made the Lakers miss more than one playoffs, and yet Kobe is on track to make them miss THREE!

Swaggy P is coming in to save the day now, and they may very well make the playoffs once Kobe "gets hurt" after passing Jordan's scoring, but from the way Kobe is shooting, him "getting hurt" may be too late of a help.

So, here is a :toast to Kobe. My all time favourite non-Spur player.

Chill down Cully, I know you love Kobe because without him stop shooting to make a point in Game 7, your Suns would've lost.

Yes, but this has nothing to do with the your favourite Suns getting to the 2nd round.

Guess you should thank Kobe for 2008 WCF as well. 2 times he stopped the spurs from having a b2b championship run.

Lisa Leslie: Kobe Is 'A Disgruntled Old Man Right Now'
(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/20/kobe-bryant-lisa-leslie_n_6188488.html?&ncid=tweetlnkushpmg00000067)
As bizarro world reigns in Los Angeles, with the Lakers (2-9) stumbling and the Clippers (5-4) looking like one of the NBA's best teams, Kobe Bryant keeps putting up shots. Bryant, 36, is averaging 27.4 points per game, but is largely on an island forced to jack up tough shots in lieu of few other options on offense. Heading into Wednesday, Bryant was averaging 23.8 points per game, a full four shots clear of second-place Carmelo Anthony (19.6).

In a HuffPost Live interview, Lisa Leslie — two-time WNBA champ and three-time WNBA MVP — said Bryant looks like a creaky veteran trying to do everything.

"I say Kobe is like a disgruntled old man right now. 'This is what I do, this is what I've been doing, you guys better figure out what you're going to do,'" Leslie told host Marc Lamont Hill (https://twitter.com/marclamonthill). "Is that necessarily the right way? Probably not. But Kobe is a guy where he builds trust based on your effort. If you're not making a great effort every time, he's not going to trust you."

Leslie also played in L.A., and knows a thing or two about being the star player on a basketball team. She said the Lakers' absence at the center position (they were tied for22nd in league rebounding (http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/team/_/stat/rebounds-per-game) and were 19th in points per game in the paint (http://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/points-in-paint-per-game) heading into Wednesday night) creates havoc for Bryant.

"Now if you don't have a center like that ... right now Kobe doesn't have that type of center. What is he doing? He's bringing the ball up, now he's doing his pick and roll, now he's doing the fadeaway jumper. That's hard basketball. That's going to be tough on him," Leslie said. "He might not make it through the season, because that's a lot of wear and tear."

:lmao getting trolled by WNBA players
:lmao even this horseface knows Kirby can't win without a dominant big

I have nothing but disdain for shaq and MVPau. Well .... Maybe respect.

Even Leslie knows Kobe is center dependent.

This is like the Yankees or Real Madrid being forced to develop young players instead of signing made players. All thanks to Beanchuck. :lol
