What a delusional mess of a post. No MVP is a role player.
Guess it takes an injury, the legitimacy of which is in doubt given Cubby's penchant for drama and self hype, for the "Mamba" to finally reign in his chucking enough to let the Lakers supporting cast shine.
In all the recent Laker losses where Kobe has posted historically awful shooting numbers, the Lakers were getting their collective faces curb-stomped into the hardwood. In tonight's game the the greatest second option in NBA history (arguably) was relegated to role player status and the results were ten fold better. The Lakers led wire-to-wire with the entire team contributing and Kobe being the 4th or 5th best player for the Purple 'n Gold.
This should come to no surprise to real students of the game. Kobe has always been a better 2nd or even 3rd fiddle. But yet his slacked-jawed (a condition that they have no problem with as it keeps their mouth permanently open to receive Kobe's diseased manhood any time number 24 feels like having a spasm that's not in his back) idiot fans neglect all this, choosing only to focus on PPG and "clutch shots" that come after Kome has went 4-18.
To real Laker fans you have a of a squad and sure fire 16th ring if Kobe can accept the role he was actually destined for.
What a delusional mess of a post. No MVP is a role player.
Wow another Kobe thread. You guys are obsessed. Duncan is sitting out and he's not even hurt. What a joke the OP is
You do realize he just won a le last year as the #1 option right?
this thread is beyond stupid
Why so defensive? I actually just gave the ENTIRE Lakers team props, essentially calling them unbeatable if everyone knows their role and you call me a joke.
Make up your mind. Do you root for the front of the jersey or the back?
LOL no surprises here..Ppl hating on kobe like they're supposed to..Keep it up brothas
Ill drink to that cuzin
While calling Kobe a role-player.
When this many people hate you it means you are good, damn good.
Except when the other professional sports teams (or lackthereof, cough, cough, NFL) play. Sadly, I'm a SoCal native and haven't enjoyed a local ship since '88. Always had too much self-respect to root for that circus you call yourself a fan of.
And try reading other news sites besides ESPN. Lakers/Spurs essentially split Team of the Decade honors, and Kobe and Duncan split player honors, which makes no sense since Duncan is actually a true first option, but you know the media, so desperate for the next Jordan.
Why not? KG went from first option to glorified role-player when he got to the loaded Celtics.
Would you rather win or have Kobe put up numbers and receive individual awards?
If you think it makes no sense that Duncan and Kobe split player of the decade honors, you know nothing about the game of basketball my friend.
Funny how Lakers fans can give Duncan credit but not the other way around. It's called having knowledge about the game.
Duncan's career thus far s all over Kobe's. Team leader and first option on 3 championship teams to Cubby's 1. 2 Finals MVPs to Cubby's 1. 2 regular season MVPs to Cubby's 1. More total MVP award shares and the same amount of 1st teams.
lern2basketballreference and quit watching espn and prime ticket for your basketball analysis.
But , you probably used to nod in agreement with Jack Haley.
Whatever Kobe decides to do, it is a benefit to the team. The team wins both ways so Kobe's prescence can be enough sometimes.
Do you have reading comprehension issues? Did I just not sing your team's praises?
Where am I hating? Be specific.
I guess hating is defined by you Kobe homers as someone who refuses to accept his all over their face.
Awesome, then I am the best poster on this board since all of you laker fans hate me so much
thanks for the logic!
We don't hate you, we make fun of you
I don't hate Kobe, I make fun of him
Let the hate continue. Kobe will just keep winning those rings and Lakers fans will keep on celebrating.
Most likely as a role-player.
Will you be okay with that?
Laker fans are obsessed with Bryant, more so than the success of the Lakers franchise
which is funny to me, because Bryant forced the Lakers to lose 2004 finals, destroyed the dynasty, and then demanded a trade, and ballhogs.
Yeah...cause this last second win was so much more impressive than the 35 point curbstomping 2 weeks ago!
did he? or was it the big man who when he leaves a team he leaves on bad terms. Penny,Kobe,Wade
