O’Neal asked Bryant if he saw the “next Kobe” out there.

“Man, nah, I’m kind of old-school, man,” Bryant said. “You have certain players that have that aggressiveness and that mentality. It’s tough to tell. It’s a different generation. I grew up playing against Michael and [Gary Payton] and all these stone-cold assassins. John Stockton and all these guys. So I had that mentality. You don’t really see that kind of mentality around the league nowadays. Everybody is buddy-buddy and don’t want to hurt each other’s [feelings].”

Right on, he played against real dudes and he tried to copied them, failed, the new guys played against him, and learned nothing from him because there was nothing to lear.

Summary: You play against Jordan, Payton and Stockton in your youth, you learn to have a killer mentality. You play against Kobe in your youth, you learn nothing at all.

Also, some great stuff from the article:


Here’s the thing -- what we did, our disagreements, what made those things special is we said them to each other’s face. We didn’t go behind each other’s back and whisper to our teammates about this, that and the other, because that does nothing but create friction and it’s cancerous to the team.

Except he didn't, he went to the media, and time after time, and that's why he is THE cancer.


How many years would Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain be playing together with Wilt in his prime and Michael wanting to come up and grow? Like, how long is that going to last before Michael says, 'You know what? It’s time for me to show what I can do.' It is what it is. That’s why he and I are one of a kind when it comes to tandem because you literally have two alpha males playing together on one team and that normally does not happen.

:lol Kobe trying hard to equate himself to Jordan again. Jordan led his team to 6 championships, leading his team in advanced stats in EVERY, SINGLE advanced metric. He didn't win 5 championships and led his team in advanced metrics in NONE of them, NONE.


Shaq taught me how to lead, because he’s amazing. You can see how he is now, right? He’s really outgoing, he’s very gregarious, he puts his arm around guys, he always checks in with guys, always makes sure that they’re good. So I learned that from him, because I naturally wasn’t like that.

Another beta trait. You are either an alpha or not, you don't learn to be an alpha. Kobe just do not have any of the those alpha traits that he craves. 15 years later, he still didn't learn, and ran off players like MVPau and D12 because he is trying too hard to be an alpha when he is a natural born beta.


I knew then, that if I'm down by one and I kick it out to someone, he's going to shoot it and he's going to make it.

Well, Shaq was almost there, Kobe was definitely going to shoot it, but he is going to miss it about 80% of the time in those situations.


"Because I knew he was going to push me to win more, because I always wanted to get to where Magic [Johnson] was, where Michael [Jordan] was, so four was something that was really on my radar. But it pushed me even more. It drove me even more. So when I got five, I was like, I couldn’t help just turning the knife a little bit.

Confirmed yet again. Kobe is motivated by measuring himself against others, trying to reach the greats, that's why he can never BE great. The best he can be will always, ALWAYS be chasing the greats.


Kobe, I just want to say, I love you, brother. And I miss you. I enjoyed the times we played together. I wish we could’ve got to seven championships, but it is what it is. We’re still the most respected, the most dominant one-two punch in Laker history.

Ummm .... Magic/Kareem? Two top 10 players of all time instead of just 1? I mean, I know Kobe fans will be cool with this, because they can and will throw anyone under the bus to prop up Kobe, but Shaq? How can Shaq do this?

He isn't shitting on Tim. Tim is hardly buddy buddy w/ players. Shit, they even say Tim wouldn't speak to rookies their first year on the Spurs. Look how much he hated the Suns and Mavs back in the day.

Kobe is saying there isn't going to be a NEXT KOBE (new generation) after he retires. I think Westbrook is. Westbrook is still old school. And Kawhi has some in him as well. But yeah, that hate the other team concept is not as prevalent as it was back in the 80, 90, 00's. And players are softer than they use to be.

agree Tim is cordially but who is he buddy with like that? Tim I think is one of that dudes that quietly hates the other team. His interview after the they won the West in 2014 is proof. That confidence he exudres he called his shot against Lebron and then delivered. I dont have it and to lazy to look it up but they were fapping to it upstairs not long ago ... I think it cemented my admiration for Tim because the one thing I never liked is how he holds back his intensity in that moment he was Kobe or Jordanesque. But he wasnt bragging he just was confident and determined to avenge 2013.

[Killakobe81]

[Indazone]

Nothing but all ego. He ain't making anyone around him better declining athlete that he is and hogging the ball.

[Blue Duck]

I had an epiphany after I read those quotes from Kobe. I don't hate him, I'm just very glad he's not on my team. He's embarrassing, Tim on the other hand, makes me proud to be a spurs fan, just as robinson did. If Kobe were a spur and Timmy a Laker, I would not switch teams, cuz I'm a son of San Antonio and a die hard spurs fanatic, but I would be envious. I really would. The rape accusations, the on-air melt down/tantrum, the petty feuding with teammates, the game where he refused to shoot to teach his own team a lesson, calling a ref a "cock sucking faggot" cuz he didn't get his way, constantly comparing himself to Jordan, etc, etc, etc. He's just embarrassing. I'm not saying any of this to talk trash or instigate, like Tool-Aid Man, it's just the honest truth. Duncan plays hard, but carries himself with dignity. When the whistle blows, he will offer a hand to a fallen opponent. When the ball is back in play, it's on. That's not weakness, it's sportsmanship and there is not enough of it being displayed by today's prominent African American athletes. One more thing, Tool-Aid is a moronic buffoon. Again, this is not trash talk, it's just true, you're an embarassment to your fan base and have never contributed in any substantive way on any topic, ever. Anyways, Tim makes me proud, I'm thankful he's ours, thank God it's not Kobe.... Go Spurs.
