Phil Jackson's take on Denis Rodman.
last time i checked, they both were in the same team throught out the 6 championship years.
I dont see gasol next to kobe for his first 3.
try again.
....Like always? In case you've been living under a rock Miami the "Like always" claim cannot be used with the Lakers. Have you been seeing basketball for more than 20 years? If you haven't then you'll understand that the "Like always" comment don't apply with dem here Lakers.
Save that line for another team.
yeah, like i give a

Phil Jackson's take on Kobe Bryant
"Jackson wrote he became so frustrated with Bryant that he told general manager Mitch Kupchak in January, "I won't coach this team next year if he is still here. He won't listen to anyone. I've had it with this kid."
It was not the first time Jackson requested the team trade Bryant. He sought to trade him to the Phoenix Suns for Jason Kidd and Shawn Marion in the 1999-00 season.
Jackson wrote that Bryant was angry that O'Neal received allowances from the Lakers organization, but that "nobody this year, or in any year I've coached, has received more 'allowances' than Kobe Bryant."
Among those allowances was the Lakers organization's partial payment for the private jets Bryant took to Colorado for the hearings in his rape case.
Bryant complained about the kind of plane he was given to fly to Colorado, Jackson wrote, adding "He should feel fortunate that he's not footing the bill himself."
Jackson said he became conditioned to blame Bryant, even when it wasn't the player's fault.
The sexual assault charge against Bryant was dismissed last month at his accuser's request, but he still faces a lawsuit filed in Denver by the woman.
Bryant told Jackson that O'Neal's presence on the team would affect his decision to stay with the Lakers, adding, "I'm tired of being a sidekick," Jackson wrote.

I would temporarily cheer for another team if Kobe Bryant was ever on the Miami Heat.
How can ANYONE cheer for that guy, ugh.
Not the same person anymore. He has matured a lot since then and PJ has been singing praises.
As for disliking Bryant, you should ask why do you judge a basketball player based on things outside of basketball.
I don't like to see ty people succeed
I think they should fail hard, and fall on their face so that they are forced to change and become good people
at which point, then I want them to succeed
If Dwyane Wade was a rapist, egotistical, bratty child, selfish son of a , I don't give a about his basketball skills. I am not cheering for a team he is on.
Bryant hasn't changed. Soon as Bryant couldn't stroke his own penis, he shat on the Lakers and demanded a trade. After all the loyalty Buss showed to him through the draft to trade for him and save him from obscurity in a Hornets uniform, to the whole Phil Jackson asking to trade Bryant twice, to the whole Shaq-Kobe feud, in the end, Kobe demanded a trade and shat all over your franchise.
he's a ty person, and he's all about himself. He hasn't changed a bit, and I think ty people like that should not succeed.
P.S. He's not even that great, overrated. and that's real talk.
miamiheat is bending you mother ers over and making you all his es. bow down and kiss his shoes.
lmao kobe fans
He did fail. For 7 seasons he failed to win his 4th ring.
Beside, it's not up to you to set the standard of who's good and who's ty as a human being.
His game has. His leadership has.Bryant hasn't changed.
LOL at that garbage
anyone with 2 eyes knows that Gasol/Fisher added to the lineup caused the Lakers to go over the top in talent.
suddenly now, kobe's changed.
sureeee.
that's why in 2008 Finals, he shot 40% FG% and took TWICE the amount of shots that Gasol/Odom took COMBINED. You got that? Kobe took more shots than those 2 guys took combined.
And Each of those 2 guys were shooting over 50%
while Kobe was shooting 40%. didn't matter though, Kobe was chucking away.
He hasn't changed for . His team is stacked now
Fisher
Bryant
Someone/Odom
Gasol
Bynum
lmao
only the celtics and magic can rival that lineup.
P.S.
Leaders don't whine and demand trades and publicly all over their teammates in the off-season. LOL BYNUM
He's the Lakers cash cow. With him, the Lakers can jack up their ticket prices and still sell out every game. I doubt Buss cares too much about how nice of a human being Bryant is as long as he keeps making him tons of money.
Phil Jackson got his last ring to cement his legacy as the best coach so he's also happy. Being the highest paid coach doesn't hurt either.
As far as the Lakers as a organization, they have nothing to complain.
So why the are you complaining?
LOL KNICKS
nuff said
You always seem fixated in FG% as if it's the beginning and the end of all things. No, it's not.
Winning is.
Leadership is intangible so I won't argue back and forth since it can't be proved with facts anyway. But if he is such a bad leader, players would totally hate playing with him, the Lakers would implode, bickering here and there, everyone would play for contracts and PJ would demand him to be traded again
The reality? Totally opposite.
I am literally fascinated by MiamiHeat's fixation with Kobe-Hate.
Really odd. Kind of spooky even.
While not enough can be said of what Pau does for our franchise, remove Gasol from the team and Pau still has a top notch backup and there is nothing to back up Kobe. Another element to note is the amount of attention and pressure that Kobe Bryant demands just being on the floor - which opens the game up for Pau, Bynum, Artest, etc. Pau is putting up MVP-esqe numbers this season, but no question that Kobe is the MVP of this team.
my man MiamiHeat servin all these kids
I am fascinated by the Lakers fan lack of love and respect for Gasol. I mean you guys are LAKER fans right? it should'nt matter whether Kobe or Gasol is getting the glory. Its all about the rings, right?``
Tee hee
You can't back up Kobe. Daddy was never backed up. Jordan was never backed up. They went from Jordan to Pete Myers. It's logistically impossible to back up that level of talent.
you really logged out and logged into a troll account and went to the trouble to do that?my man MiamiHeat servin all these kids
BINGO
i think its pretty clear right now that Kobe is option 1A and Gasol is 1B. this is not Kobe's team anymore. if they win a le this year its under kobe and gasol, not Kobe and the Lakers.
headlines should be
Kobe and Gasol leads the Lakers into another le.
That's what's so great though. Despite your best efforts at trolling, despite the fact that you downplay Kobe's accomplishments over and over, this will never be the case. Your opinion simply has no value to the vast majority, quite frankly, you just don't matter. You will go on hating, living your life vicariously through someone far more talented than you, rooting against someone who doesn't even know you exist, while that same person will go down in history as the unquestioned leader of the team, and one of the best to ever play the game. Ouch.
Were you abused as a child, scared to smile, they called you ugly?
You seem frustrated. Maybe try not taking this stuff that serious? He's just a basketball player man, it's going to be okay, I promise. Life is harsh, hug me.
