The Official Suck Kobe's Dick One Last Time All-Star Weekend Thread

[Spurtacular]

Since, it's not 2019 and we're just calling it what it is....

[Bynumite]

:cry The integrity of the game :cry

[DMC]

Silver squeezing out the last dime from this shitty event using the ghost of Kobe.

[Benoit]

Fitting that they named the ASG MVP after him but not the league MVP

ONE (1) in your prime is pathetic

[ducks]

So when mj dies what are they going to do
Regular season mvp award for him ?

[ducks]

What about when David Robinson dies ?

[UZER]

What about when David Robinson dies ?

When David dies, Kenny Smith will make sure TNT show those same two Hakeem vs David highlights from the ‘95 series.

Seriously though, Kenny Smith has pretty much single handily done this being on TNT and showing those same 2 highlights for 20 years just because he played with Hakeem.

Seriously though, Kenny Smith has pretty much single handily done this being on TNT and showing those same 2 highlights for 20 years just because he played with Hakeem.

Kenny has done the most for Hakeem's legacy. He's promoted him every year with those highlights and telling his annual David-Hakeem story. Kenny "David got the MVP trophy and then Hakeem pulled me over and said Kenny that is my trophy." I find interesting how Hakeem recently said in an interview that he never said anything when Dave got the MVP trophy. Kenny just made that shit up.

Anyways if Kenny didn't promote Hakeem the way he did I don't think very few people would know who he is outside of hardcore basketball fans.

nobody will care

[apalisoc_9]

If kobe died at 60 years old..No one would really care.

You have to consider dude died only a few years after retirement.

But I already know how OP feels everytime a Black Man is given dserved attention and praise.

Useless award named after useless rapist. Keep gargling ST lol

How does Kobe deserve it?

For the rape? Being a terrible teammate? Being a Michael Jordan wannabe? Elbowing other star players? Getting ghost calls for rings? Being one of the best 1B's in history? Dying in an ill-equipped helicopter?

You won't even answer, safe space poster. Stop acting up, bitch.

[apalisoc_9]

never proven he raped. No teamate spoke ill of him since he retired.

But stay hating fags.

Kawhi wants that Kobe Stat Stuffer Trophy.

Kawhi will have to sit out the next ASG with back spasms.

[Spurtacular]

They should have at least done fifteen minute quarters to make up for the shortened fourth quarter. Thanks, Kobe.

[Spurtacular]

23 3FG Westbrick taking the three in a close game. :lol

Harden choking. Same ole.

[Spurtacular]

Taking charges in an all-star game. Lowry is cheesy.

[Spurtacular]

Mark Davis didn't get the memo that Team Lebron is supposed to get the calls.

Old Lebron couldn't flush that down. :lol

[Spurtacular]

:lol Lebron thinking he's Curry.

[Laker_1995]

Lowry is a bitch ahahaha love it

[Spurtacular]

:lol Lowry baiting Harden into that o-foul.

Team Lebron would've won a long time ago if they hadn't featured Lebron at the top over and over.

[Spurtacular]

:lol Game gonna be won a FT that comes with a mulligan.

[Chucho]

Kobe dead, not Duncan.

No one wanted to play with that piece of garbage the last three or four years he was shitting on the LA franchise. He was a shitty team mate, an adulterer and he forced himself on women, at best. At worst, he's a rapist. Since he's a Catholic, he's in Hell by his own beliefs. He overachieved in the Catholic afterlife, tbh.


All the Kobe dick riders acting like willing Colorado Hotel trash. Actin like a dude who wouldn't piss on yall if yall was burning at his feet paid y'all's rent or some shit.

[Spurtacular]

They should have the And-One Bonus if they're gonna do TBT target score format, tbh.

[Spurtacular]

:lol Anthony Davis pretending he missed the first FT on purpose.
:lol What a deuche.

:lol Harden didn't want to take the bunny for the game winner.

you waited to long to post this bitch ass nugga. Or maybe you wanted to get attention?

[Spurtacular]

CP made way more big plays/shots. Kawhi's pts were in garbage time.

Wrong MVP selection; but NBA marketing wins out always.

[Spurtacular]

Lebron and his buddy Chris Paul along with Davis FROZE OUT KAWHI, it was SHAMEFUL.

Lebron is old and slow. He'd have been happy if Harden or Kawhi stepped up. But neither did.

[Spurtacular]

Earvin Johnson praising Stern. He should; that dude padded his pocket and put xtra rings on his fingers.

I posted Kobe hate the day he died. He's a piece of shit, probably the second biggest fraud athlete behind that white dude manipulating stupid black folk into thinking he's a civil rights martyr while he sells those same stupid black folk ugly sneakers marked up 5000% and manufactured by modern day slaves who have a ghastly mortality rate making those shoes for 1st world psuedo-victims.

Kobe was an unlikeable piece of shit his last 3-4 years in the league. NO ONE wanted to play with him. FACT. What changed? Just media narrative.

Objectively, at best, Kobe was an adulterer who was a massive dick to his team mates, beyond his obvious egomania.

Objectively, at worst he was a traitor, rapist, unlikeable prick that sank the most marketable NBA franchise for damn near a decade. He ran off the reason he is even considered a Top Ten Player instead of the fringe Top 50 Player he is like TMac and Vince Carter. He's a megalomaniac and selfish, hence he being the all time leader in bricks.

Fuck him. Sorry some dead dude's dick leaves a likeable flavor in your mouth. He's dead. Your position in life is no different with him alive or dead.

I say that because you’re saying stuff you would never say out in public to people who care about Kobe or to random people in general. I never said Kobe was perfect. He had flaws and made horrible mistakes that should never be forgottten. People fuck up everyday whether it be stealing a candy bar or raping or killing somebody. Humans are not perfect and to be this critical and bash another mans death just because of mistakes he made before is kinda sad to me. I get it though he’s a basketball player and plus it’s Kobe who many people Hated to begin with but idk seems like many people were waiting for him to die before bashing the guy. If Kobe raped 100% then he deserved any punishment as any non famous person would get. But the way he died in such a tragic way with his daughter and other families is sad and for people to say “ oh well it’s fine he’s a rapist” is kinda lame to me. But do you bro. All love

Sorry, he was a rotten person when he was alive, he was a rotten person during the time people are having fond memories of him.

This just reeks of sour grapes tbh. And I have no dog in this fight. I'm not a Laker fan and was never a big time Kobe fan or hater

I'll never believe that the rape accusation was legit, so I don't even think about that when it comes to his character. Outside of that, what exactly is it that makes him a rotten person? He was a big meanie head to Smush Parker and Kwame Brown? Boo fucking hoo. It's a two way street. He's a hyper competitor and Parker/Brown are known bums. Smush says that Kobe used to give him the cold shoulder but it's possible Parker was slacking off which pissed him off.

:lol I always think it's funny when guys point fingers at Type A type athletes like Kobe who get mad when their teammates half-a$$ it day in and day out. You're telling me you'd be ok with some co-worker dicking around all day and making your team in the workplace look bad? Listen to the no-nonsense guys like Barnes, Stephen Jackson, Metta World Peace, MJ, etc. They all love him and look at how many people he's mentored over the years. Shaq's also remained a close friend to him.

[DMC]

Kobe was self absorbed. His competitiveness was for Kobe to win, not for his team to win. He'd often take an L and a good stat line over a W and a lower stat line. Once he lost the franchise players from other teams, he didn't do anything to help his team, and was basically the catalyst for their 6 year hiatus from being competitive. It took Lebron James and Anthony Davis, two of the top 5 players in the NBA, to rescue the Lakers from their Kobe infection. Kobe was so selfish that no other decent player wanted anything to do with him. So if you're going to talk about his competitiveness, qualify it by saying it wasn't about his team unless his team could help him win. Let's not revise history.

As far as his personal life - I don't buy the rape allegations either, but his wife was pregnant and he was in Colorado fucking a skank with tres leches in her twat. His wife miscarried, likely due to the stress of going through her husband's rape ordeal. He subsequently lost to the Pistons in a series that saw him play some of the most selfish ball he's ever played. It led to Shaq leaving.

So I cannot imagine Kobe as a giving person, unless there's something in it for him like a camera filming it.

[DMC]

And :lol at Shaq being his friend. Shaq couldn't even recall the last time they spoke, and it happened to be on a set. These other people who stood up for him would stand up for anyone.

I can't argue with this. I'll admit that Kobe wasn't the best teammate, I was just trying to illustrate that it doesn't necessarily translate to him being a "rotten person" like Chucho stated. My point that I was trying to make (probably could've stated it better) was that all the criticism was for on the court antics, and that his track record off the court is nothing compared to some of these other a$$holes. My opinion on Kobe is overall neutral. I'm not going to sit here and be a bootlicker just because he died, but I also find it laughable how some Spur fans act like this guy is up there with Satan and Jason "nut punching" Terry (never forget :cry) in terms of how bad he is as a person

[Mark Celibate]

Sure, they were acquainted. Shaq made 1000x more of it after Kobe's death than either did before the death. Shaq's tears seemed to be mostly guilt from not getting closer, and he said as much. They supposedly buried the hatchet, but neither of them really has the ability to forgive, especially Kobe. He'd still brag about having more than Shaq, and that's something Tim would never do to David or anyone else he played with, not seriously.

I think the guy was a genius for someone who didn't go to college. I found him wicked smaaaaht and driven, and his selfishness probably kept him from having a crew that bilked him for everything. I think he was brand competitive, not NBA competitive. Sure, the two are related and he was a force, but he had to be in order to build a brand. He was willing to sacrifice team success for brand success, and he illustrated that time and again. I think that was wise.

He'd still brag about having more than Shaq, and that's something Tim would never do to David or anyone else he played with, not seriously.

They "made up" for marketing purposes. Shaq lies about a lot of that sh** like the media didn't know that they were really tight. No, they hated each other, and Kobe drove Shaq out of town by giving the team a me or him ultimatum. Given that Shaq was older and overweight and Kobe was prime and marketable, it wasn't a hard decision. As it is, someone got to them and told them that being petty was bad for business, so they publicly made up in Shaq's second year with the Heat. And then they weren't anything. Shaq went to Kobe's last game, again for marketing purposes. Then he never saw him again.

Maybe the animosity dissipated with time; but they were not good buddies really ever. Closest I can think is Shaq praising Kobe for a couple big games in the playoffs where he himself had been contained and someone had to step up.

Yeah they weren’t friends. One of the worst things of all of this is Shaq trying to retcon their relationship in front of millions of people with no one to push back because of the tragedy. He’s always been a bully and bullied this lie on the set of TNT with his “I don’t ever want to hear anyone ever question or relationship again” in an aggressive tone. He said that not from truth, but from extreme guilt.

Kobe and Shaq were cordial. That’s it. They’re kids liked each of them. Of course they did. The feud was between them, not the kids.

Shaq makes himself almost impossible to like.
