Official countdown to "Kobe has been playing injured all season" excuse thread

[ElNono]

tbh, I thought they would start a little better and push this to February, but now I'm not so sure anymore.

Will it happen before or after Christmas?

[HemisfairArena]

Kobrick has surrendered his manhood,,,its ugly to watch. He is relegated to taking a backseat on a lottery team. Retire with some dignity for christsake,,,,

[Robz4000]

They've already been talking about it on ESPN/NBA TV. Some pundit said he's 100% sure Kirby is playing through pain.

[Medvedenko]

Official countdown to when the Spurs will be relevant outside of San An?.....still going.

[MultiTroll]

How far is Kome behind Kream?
If it's remotely in reach, Kome plays on.
Plus Vanessa owns his financials so she may keep sending him off.

Front office appears to have chucked this year and is positioning for the 2016 huge salary cap increase.

Who better to tank with then the Kirby - Byron Scott combo?

[ElNono]

cool story, tbh

[FkLA]

Only a matter of time. They'll find a way to spin this into a positive, something along the lines of...'Kirby shows his grit and warrior spirit, plays through excruciating pain for fans during his farewell tour. Wouldn't expect anything less from one of the greatest competitors of all-time.'

[ElNono]

:lol it begins:

Bryant finished with 18 points Sunday in a 99-95 loss to the New York Knicks in what may have been his final appearance at Madison Square Garden, where he scored his first NBA point in 1996 and set the opponent record with 61 points in 2009. He is in the final year of his contract and is shooting just 32 percent while trying to regain his form after a calf injury during the preseason.

I'm surprised kirby sidekick hasn't already found a mysterious injury...

pls kirby ask for another loaded contract next year :cry

[Killakobe81]

Injuries dont matter. He is done. His career ended with the Achilles. The 24 million extension was back pay. he will retire and LAkers will have plenty of cap space but no superstar to give it to.

We need to tank hard ... otherwise we are truly fucked for at least 3 more years ...

[Mal]

He`ll extend his contract before Christmas.

Don't know how much harder you expect to tank? Imho the Lakers need to watch both Philly and Boston to see how to get out of the tank. The Lakers have less draft talent than those two, but are also most likely to attract free agents.

Philly is winless wtf are you talking about? how are they "out of the tank."

Boston did what I have been arguing for us ... to get a top notch young coach. there is no salary cap on coaches. Get the best young b-ball mind and hire him and the top vet assistant money can buy. That would show me the Lakers are moving forward. Boston isnt that more talented than we are but coached 10x better.

:lmao this dude is so predictable...

Bryant said even walking is difficult when his back acts up like this, and said it goes back to a problem that first presented itself during training camp last month.

Fucking predictable, pussy ass nigga. The thing is noone would laugh at him if he came out and just said he's older and his body has deteriorated, instead he's so insecure that he wants to maintain this facade that he's still a good player. Although of course none of us are buying his BS excuses. :lol

Harden has quit on McHale, as has the rest of the team. The funniest thing though is this is a Kobe thread, and you can't stay on topic. You're franchise has 16 titles, and the glamor of all those are all rubbed down with stains of Kobe's fecal matter. Along with the grave of Jerry Buss. No one will remember the last time the Lakers rang even though it was 5 years ago and it's all because of your idol. You talk more about other teams than your own, I guess it speaks to the irrelevance of a once proud organization, from the glory days of Showtime, to the depths of begging to swallow Howard's load to get him to stay. Why is that? There is one common denominator. Yes, he is a snake alright.

I get that he pissed you off but do you really believe that Kobe's last 3 shitty years will erase 16 titles? Kobe will be mostly forgotten in three years. not even sure why he matters so much this one. Both HH and I have been calling him irrelevant before the last 3. After the Dallas sweep Kobe has had what one good playoff series and one hot stretch of the regular season right before the Achilles?! He is done and has been since that day. Yet there are more threads about the has been that USED to be the best SG than the current best one, even though both are hated on by many on this site.

Dont get sucked in Djohn ...today marks a new day with a new coach for your squad. Even with your shitty start your squad can salvage their season and Harden can continue building a legacy. Kobe's legacy is already written all the good and the bad.

Seems like it's time for that back to start flaring up again. Probably won't be able to walk tomorrow.

After the loss to the Blazers last night.

''It's tough,'' Bryant said. ''After almost 20 years it's tough. The legs aren't what they used to be. But I just continue to fight through and take the opportunities when they are there.''

7 - 20. Most shot attempts on team.

Turned out when he played well, he had his legs, if he didn't play well, he didn't have his legs.

It just comes and goes, it's nothing to do with him sucking, it's just his legs, you know.
