The Weekside: Kobe Bryant will not go gentle into that good night

[Koolaid_Man]

Good read.....

Here's a sample...


Kobe Bryant is a gunslinger from another era, and while his demeanor might not let him bow out gracefully, it will be awful fun to watch

Lebron has never made the Finals until he had a real team? 2007 ring a bell? 2014?

Nobody has done it alone? Well, technically true, because the rules said you have to have 5 players on the floor, but if alone means having subpar teammates, then Hakeem did it in 94, Duncan did it in 03, Dirk did it in 11, Rick Barry did it in 75. What we do know, is that Kobe not only didn't make the finals in his prime without a "real" team beside him, he couldn't even make the PLAYOFFS without the best frontline in the league.

It's either Shaq, or Pau+Odom+Bynum.

And not a "real" team? Odom and Butler aren't exactly nobodies.

The problem with Kobe is that he tried to take on team on his own, not because he wants to win, but because he wants to show the world he can. Except, he can't. And when he can't, it's the quality of his teammates. Nevermind he ran Shaq out of town, he ran Phil out of town (then begged him back), he ran Dwight out of town, he ran Pau out of town, he hogged the cap so that the Lakers couldn't get any significant free agents, he attend these free agent meetings posing as a top dog, when he was one of the worst players in the league. It's his teammates problem, it's the coach, it's the front office, it's the fans, it's the ball ball, it's an unattractive hotel worker in Colorado. It's ALWAYS someone else's problem. Always.

And yes, it is awful fun to watch .... unless you are a Lakers fan.

Can't blame ya, Lovey,,,I felt the exact same way in '13 when your clown Duncan gave away your Spurs 1st 5th. Then Amy outed him for being the gay he'd always been. Then the Bexar County judge came out to the house and administered last rites.

I've had the time of me life.

It doesn't make me happy. It's just another example of expensive ingredients mixed together wrong making shitty dishes. You can make great dishes for relatively low cost, but you can spend all the money you want on ingredients and if you don't know how to mix them and prepare them, you have shit. Lakers have shit.

What would be unnerving for the rest of the free world would be for Jim Buss to announce they have waived Kobe Bryant. That would shock the fuck out of LA fans, but it would send a clear message to the league and NBA fans that LA has turned the corner. They'd be the talk of the town.

Not lettin' Battier get his cookie. Battier had been chasin' Kobe with that big "Stop Kobe" binder for years. No success. Battier solves sweetheart across a week. All it took was Amy & TMZ. No more closet.

Battier rung while Kobe was watching from his easy chair. I'd say Kobe was stopped.

I'd rather have no cookie than have a cookie that I had to go to the cookie jar where I just deposited same cookie and give it back.

Kobe was stopped, hasn't been in a playoff game in 3 years, going on 4.

Battier never stopped him. Tried, valiantly, but, Kobe took that Stop Kobe Binder turned it sideways then jammed right of Battier's money maker. No more big shot.

Battier had nary a hard time crackin' Duncan open. Busted that faggot six ways to Sunday.

Yes, explains why he had to finish in the shower.

:lol so horribly desperate he had to settle for that type of quality
:lol over 100

[Reck]

True that.

And we're already seeing it kool.

Kobe is the type of player that doesn't know when to quit and so, the only way he'll retire is if he's made to.

He's already washed up beyond being useful so he's just out there to feed his ego at this point.

[DPG21920]

I just hope Kobe signs on for 2+ after this season.

Kobe was stopped. He hasn't seen a playoff game in 3 years, going on 4. Meanwhile Shane won two rings.

[Joseph Kony]

3 straight season ending injuries...yeah he won't go gently, he will probably go in immense pain after he has another one this season

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Kobe taking a 50% paycut would still be gold on any extension.

[Reck]

He should put it on a billbord ala Howard and Nash.

Fansided is fucking garbage. Somehow their articles always pop-up on my phone and I came across one that said the Spurs will miss Belli bc he is a solid defender.

Well in that case I am sure they will release an article soon saying how we will be ok now because we got Jimmer and he can replace Bellis solid defense.

They mentioned Patty as a Belli 'replacement' then said Jimmer is another guy to keep an eye on. Straight up garbage website tbh.
