silly hater is mad that his team sucks ass.

Please show me where I said anything untrue.
The media was pointing out that he had matured enough to realize that Gasol is a HUGE key to the Lakers chances of repeating and responding to his comments he made to the MEDIA would only fuel another Shaq type scenario. It's called growing up. Later in this post you admonish Shaq and Kobe and say they just should have shut up and played. And now you admonish Kobe for doing just that. You seem confused.
The undisputed leader of the Lakers. It's his team. You haters are the very people that do not give him any credit for the 3 peat years because he wasn't the # 1 guy on the team. Now that he is the tune changes? You are shocked that players admonish other players in a team sport? Tsk Tsk.
What did he call wrong in the article? Sounded pretty factual to me.
You have proof of this? Of course not. It's just your silly opinion based on... well, nothing. They hadn't won in 2 years prior to the split.
Yeah, we fans felt so disrespected as we were parading down Figueroa street.
Hmmmmmm, I think you would be hard pressed to find two players that command more respect in the NBA community. They are icons of the game. That you don't think so is irrelevent.

Haha namlook is ing re ed.
I can't wait to see how you Laker fans will spin all this when your boys lose in the playoffs this year. All that talent, and one guy will take them down by himself.
If practically every guy on your team, as well as a caoch who has won ten les, says that one guy is playing selfishly and shooting too many shots...then he is.
And if you really think that Bryant makes those teammates better, you're bigger idiots than I thought.
Answer me this...why is everybody so afraid of Bryant? Why won't anybody in the state of California stand up to the guy? Gasol's very tempered (and very true) comments are the closest I've ever seen to anybody other than Phil even peep about him in public. It's unbelievable. Like taking a shot away from Bryant is the equivalent of desecrating the holy sepulchre in the Vatican.
Exaggerate much do ya?
I'm sure the laker fan response will be to call you a hater and/or laugh that your team sucks or something along those lines...
But I agree----Gasol's statements rang a bell....but nobody wants to SEE it...which is good...because when they ultimately get eliminated this year--then the ----throwing each other under the bus extravaganza---will be very amusing....but that is EXACTLY the kind of manufactured drama that the media and lakers fans live for...
no-one will mention kobe's shot selection---but they WILL crucify gasol or someone else missing a shot or free throw...
This Laker fan is just baffled at why you would feel so butthurt that we actually root and support a player on our team?
I think the Lakers chances are pretty good this year. Probably the very reason you pay so much attention to them...
The reason I posted was in response to another bull story from the media trying to spin --in kobe's favor ---yet again...This Laker fan is just baffled at why you would feel so butthurt that we actually root and support a player on our team?
I think the Lakers chances are pretty good this year. Probably the very reason you pay so much attention to them...
the fact that you root for your teams players is normal---no-one is butthurt about that
the fact that this player happens to be glorified to god status is disgusting and IMHO ---it cheapens the game of basketball--but I understand that is just today's reality...
I do agree the lakers chances are pretty good this year---but we'll see what happens on the court.
Worthy > Magic in 88
Dumars > Isiah in 89
Cedric Maxwell > Bird in 81
Parker > Duncan in 07
Jojo White > Cowens in 76
Anyone that is not braindead knows Kobe > Gasol. The very notion there is any discussion about this is beyond ridiculous.
Great basketball players usually make terrible GMs.
Yet another way in which Kobe is following in the proud footsteps of Herr Jordan.
Well. I really didn't see anything in the article trying to make kobe into some God. Just an article showing that 1. he made mistakes in the past, and 2. He's learned from them.
If you saw otherwise then so be it.
If the team goes down, it will truly be a team effort with blame to lay at the door of plenty of players. Kobe with his ballhoggery, Fisher with his delusional "I'm-still-in-my-prime" chuckery, Gasol with his soft play underneath and constant looking to the refs for bailouts, Bynum for his lack of dedication on the defensive end, Odom for his Groundhog Day game, Artest for his occasional tunnel vision and indecision on the offensive end. And that doesn't even get into the failings of the bench scrubs.
Funny that of all these guys Artest seems to know his role the best. For the most part he has played smart on both ends and his all-out game on defense is awesome. He has picked up LA big time on that end.
Kobe is a basketball bully... that can be good and bad. When winning, he helps push teammates to better (and yes, he does generally make his teammates better). Winning is the ultimate deodorant and everyone is usually pretty happy as long as the wins keep piling up. Start underplaying expectations though and the finger-pointing can start. Just like the in-your-face coach, that approach can really wear on people, too.And if you really think that Bryant makes those teammates better, you're bigger idiots than I thought.

ISTR Kobe has five top-5 season MVP finishes, including one #1 finish and two #2 finishes.
I'm not aware of any top-5 finishes for Gasol but I do think he has a top-10 finish in voting.
Really Chris... is that the best you can do? Taking someone else's post and adding your obsession with my name because you get images of s from it? Really? Are you so butthurt that I've pointed out your BS and lies that you resort to gradeschool antics? Really? How sad...
best post so far^
