where's that Dr. House troll
Ever since '05 you have all been repeating nonstop that "Kobe can't win without Shaq".
Now what? There is no question he is the #1 player on the Lakers and leader of the team. He has taken HIS team to the promise land and is on the verge of winning his 1st ring post Shaq. He will likely grab the Final's MVP as well.
What will you do with your lives now that the one player you despise the most has done exactly what you said he couldn't do? How will you live![]()
Well, I probably hate Kobe as much as the next guy, but I give him props if he wins the championship, he deserves it this year.
Sum it up to injuries of Garnett and Ginobili and be done with it.![]()
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Garnett's knees are broke, Pierce is a fat , and Gay Allen is inching towards retirement. Boston is ONE AND DONE. Just like the Heat, Pistons, and countless other teams before them. Not dynasty material.
This is why I hate Laker fans like you, we've already gave kobe props, but you intend to make this an argument with everyone else.![]()
I'll be the first one to step up and give Kobe his props by publicly acknowledging that he's finally earned the right to be put ahead of Scottie Pippen on the all time greats list.
He still raped a chick.... we have that to fall back on.![]()
Kobe is an classless A-hole in the playoffs and that's been proven so many times this year!
:wgaf:
Go to a bar, club, etc hang out have fun. Nothing really changes if he wins I have been through much worse then having to experience him win a le. I think on the other hand if the Magic somehow comeback and win this series you will definitely be on suicide watch.
Cant win one without phil jackson or derek fisher.
Kobe can't win one without shaq unless KG or Yao get hurt.
We will go to LakersGround and celebrate. Then hit up VaginaTalk and break bread with fans from other teams in order to celebrate Kobe fans.
Well if Kobe wins it I'd have to say congratulations cause he is playing great and so are the Lakers. I wasn't impressed with them earlier in the playoffs at all, but now the Lakers are finally playing much better and look like the best team in the NBA at this point.
You also cannot forget about Boston who arguably could have still been the best team had KG not been injured.
I'm not a Kobe fan and I never care to see L.A. win it all, but this year wouldn't be as terrible as it has been in the past:
1) No Shaq & Kobe winning it all, just Kobe
2) If Kobe wins, he'll finally be tied with Duncan in the ring department, but not past him
All that said, LET'S GO MAGIC!!!

o, my name is Hate. I've been around for a long time. Thanks for creating me.
I'm here today to talk about Kobe Bryant. Yeah, you know, that dude. The one who keeps me alive, simply because of the way so many of you feel about him. You see, there's hate, and then there's the way millions feel about him. There's animosity, jealousy, anger … and then there's the way so many of you feel about him. And now that the conversation has come to the forefront -- about his place in history if he wins Championship No. 4 -- I have returned with a vengeance.
Yeah me, Hate -- I'm back. And it seems, thanks to you, I'm stronger than ever.
The funny thing about me is, my existence has nothing to do with basketball when it comes to Kobe Bryant. When people say they are rooting for the Magic strictly based on their hate for Kobe, or they just don't want the Lakers to win because of their hate for Kobe, 99.9 percent of the time basketball is not the reason.
It's his at ude -- he's arrogant and smug. He's selfish. He's phony. He thinks he's better than everyone.
The Colorado incident comes up -- it sits in the back of people's minds like a trump card in Bid Whist. The breakup of the Lakers dynasty? Blamed on him. Sides are still being chosen. Shaq comes up. Love him, hate the other. People have even said they like LeBron's Nike puppet more than Kobe's.
Now that's hate. That's me on a whole 'nother level.
Lemme breathe. Ahhhhhh. Feels good.
Kobe can't even have his wife and kids meet him when he comes off the court after home games without me dominating people's feelings. Why does he get to have his kids come give him a hug after the game, and none of the other players' families are allowed? Without even knowing the reason -- because it's him, and not, say, Derek Fisher -- I am allowed to reign over even his family portrait. And if he loses a game in this series, I'll be the "I told you so."
Now, some people have given the people who hold me against Kobe a name. They call them "Haters." Population in the millions. Outside of L.A., we stretch all across the globe. Now the Haters, they reach for reasons that do sometimes have something to do with basketball. He shoots too much. He's not a team player. He doesn't make anyone around him better. The 81 points didn't impress them -- that cemented their belief he's a ball hog. The MVP award last year went to the wrong player. The 40-point performance in Game 1 of this series? Whatever. And Lamar Odom was the reason the Lakers won Game 2. The hatred continues.
The Haters are blinded by one thing when it comes to Kobe: He's not Michael Jordan and he never will be. And they'll stand on that until the day they die.
So here I am, back in the Finals again, making my presence felt. Doing everything I can to find fault with Kobe Bryant, and fuel the fire against him getting another ring.
The problem with me is that, the more I'm thrown in his face -- the more you all allow me to play a role, the more you hold me against him -- the stronger I make him. I'm counterproductive when it comes to Kobe.
See, Kobe loves me. He loves the fact that I, Hate, play such a large role in his life. He didn't always feel this way -- he used to have a hard time understanding why I was always around. He didn't get it. What have I done to make people hate me so much? That's what he used to say to me in private moments. All he ever wanted to do is be considered the best player to ever ball. He thought, if he pushed himself hard enough, the world would appreciate him.
But it didn't. And now he doesn't give a damn. What you think about him is no longer one of his concerns. He's driven almost to the point of obsession with getting this fourth ring, not in spite of me, but because of me. He wants you to keep hating him. He calls me Nietzsche.
So please, people -- if you don't want Kobe to win this series, if you don't want to see him get his first Finals MVP, if you don't want to see his place in NBA history vault to an argument-free Top 10 All-Time status, then stop. Stop tossing me at Kobe Bryant. Because at this point, you all have made me the best thing that's ever happened to him.
End of thread..
To use a Yao injury to diminish any finals talk is to diminish ALL finals talk since he's been in the league. When is he not injured?
Give it a rest, Nurse Doublewide Trailer. It sure took the rapist a long time. Duncan and Shaq didn't take nearly as long. Shaq gets his fourth without the rapist and Duncan got his fourth the following year without either the rapist or the Original Superman. Maybe if the rapist would spend more time with his own wife he could have possibly picked up his fourth before now.
And we should listen to you why? Because you have been invloved in 3 armed robberies and 2 murders?
Cant win one without Sasha Vujacic.
Better yet, what will they do when Kobe repeats and surpasses Shaq and Duncan's ring total
