Kobe getting the excuses ready, as usual..
Take away Kobe's hops, and what exactly does Kobe have left? No more Kobe's fade away jumpers? The abilty to finish in the paint? Alot of miles on those knees.
Stupid Kobe....playing injured. He should be hated for that.
I read this earlier ... and I cringed. I think it's pretty amazing that he has ben able to go this long at this rate. And if things are that bleak as much as I admire Kobe as aplayer the team is bing irresponsible by signing Kobe for that many more years at THAT type of salary ... but hey it's not My money ...
good thing Kobe with no hops is still better then 85% of the league
so basically kobe is saying his knee is more important than the team?
I don't like the guy, and won't hate on him for being injured and playing through it (there's still plenty left to hate!), but that quote was just stupid. why even mention the team's intensity? the reporters would have connected the dots anyway, and it just reads as "my teammates suck unless I push them but I can't because my knee hurts."
lol so he gets hated when he rest and he gets hated when he plays.so basically kobe is saying his knee is more important than the team?

he could have just said
why mention the teams intensity?“So, in order to protect my knee and avoid a situation like last year (where he had to have his knee drained of fluid during the playoffs), we decided before the season to minimize wear and tear as much as possible.”
Disagree. Not when Kobe's game is predicated on his athleticism. Kobe's still a great shooter, but once his knees are gone, theres goes his ability to finish to the rim and hes already losing his lateral quickness due to age and knee problems. you never win against father time.
Exactly, which explains why Duncan has been irrelevant the past 3 seasons.
The most valid critique come from Vescey's article. how can he truly lead when he does not practice ... "we talkin' about PRACTICE!"
Kobe repeatedly tried to say it (knee) was fine and he was not discussing it anymore ... in fact, he asked the local guys to stop asking him. Peter asked him directly why he doesnt practice and he answered. i dont care if yall hate him ...but come on no need to make up or twist the story.
At least TD has won NBA les as the main guy, unlike Kobe
besides ... Kobe has plenty of other things to hate on if you want to ...
LOL i thought the same who says "at least" ... in a forum debate? ROFL
Woah, stepped into a Lakers fan circle jerk. My bad.
ummm...free throws every time he lets out that rapist yell...
easy 15-22 points a game...
lol 2014
lol 32 mil
Yes...but that also goes for every other veteren in the NBA.
Also, Kobe's game is NOT predicated on his athleticism. Who you think will get hurt more from losing athleticism? Lebron or Kobe? Griffin or Kobe? T-Mac or Kobe? Carter or Kobe? Richardson or Kobe?
Out of all the people who get old, Kobe is the last one to worry about.
Regardless of whether his game ages relatively well like it has so far ... 32 million in 14 is ridiculous ...but whata uva expiring contract would the Lakers ever trade Kobe? doubt it but that is enough salary for two all-stars
Laker fan trolling is like magnet to GNSF. DD picking up the slack from luva I see.
