Kobe admits his knee is nearly bone-on-bone

[Giuseppe]

This to me shows how valuable Kobe really is for the Lakers. Yes he has questionable shot election, yes he can be stubborn at times and yes I think he tends to make a big deal of his injury sometimes, but no one can deny Kobe's impact on his teammates off the court.



I think Kobe's work ethic is what seperates him from the rest of the peers. With the amount of minutes and years he has logged in those legs, its quite remarkable to see him still play at this level. Never a huge fan of him, but I admit it will be a sad day in sports when this guy finally hangs it up.

LeHeat, obviously in the sauce of a Monday evening.

The thing I like about Kobe's legacy is it has a lot of character, it has its ups and down, he had a legitimate swagger and like most great players he's thick skinned who never backed down from failures. This makes him a true entertainer in my eyes, which is why I will miss him when he's gone. I believe Lebron is on the same path, his new villain role and recent dumb statements has made him more human, its all working for him TBH. Only thing he needs is a chip or two, maybe three or four.

LeHeat, you're shovelin' pretty deep there.

I'll where I eat for moment:::Kobe takes, but, he does not give. His quitting in Phoenix sticks in my craw. He's never acknowledged, nor apologized for that act. It's unforgiveable.

And he's not thick skinned. A thick skinned person would not hold close to his heart every transgression ever done to him. Kobe holds in such a way. Witness his bushwhack of Daddy in the post game news conference last June.

He portends to be an entertainer, but, he's never acting. What you see is what is there.

Colorado ed him up.

Kobe knows a thing or two about being bone-on-bone

I thought this thread was about something Kobe & Artest did in the showers....

All of this Bryant legacy crap is hogwash.

If the Lakers get Chris Paul, and I'm sure they'll end up getting him or some other top name guard at some point, they'll win more les than they have with Bryant's current frontline of Pau/Lamar/Bynum.

How did the Lakers threepeat back in 2000-2002? They had a beast of a big in Shaquille, who was in his prime and was completely unguardable. Well, the triumvirant of Pau/Lamar/Bynum is as strong as O'Neal, or stronger, plus they shoot free throws better then Shaquille and can spread the floor.

Bryant isn't anywhere near as valuable as people think. When he's gone, people will realize how easy it is to win in the NBA if you simply pound the post. Bryant makes things more difficult with his selfishness.

If the Lakers were smart, they'd run something like San Antonio ran during the 2005/2007 Duncan championship years, where the office was clearly inside-out. Both Pau and Lamar are excellent passers, so they could easily do that.

But then, Bryant doesn't "get his." So as long as Bryant is breathing, it won't happen.

Perhaps, but, neither Pau nor Odom could do diddly squat till Kobe showed 'em where the bear in the buckwheat. They'd both been sayin' it (like you typed it above), but, sayin' & actually doin':::world a difference.

& I ain't talkin' out a school about my beloved Mav's fellows, but, Daddy rang their bell like they was glad to just have it end. Conversely, Kobe matched that one when the Magic rolled over and played dead, but, this last one against Boston was not shaved puss. It was the deal. And daddy-O, the deal was real.

Boiled down? You know the drill, but, hang a right, take a look:

Kobe: 2

Daddy: 1

this last one against Boston was the real deal...

here's the deal;

25 free throws in the last 20 minutes of the game.

The le was a gift ....plain & simple.

Eh. That's sour grapes.

We ended those s.

This time. This f'in time when Bryant was resisted, he didn't go off on a tangent. No. Uh, uh. That psychopathic sob went down to the paint and rebounded his screwball ass off. Same thing he did the other night Vs. New York.

Guiseppe, you ever consider doing a rap about how Kobe's ass taste?

It ain't all love. My record on Bryant is legible and present on this Board.

And everyone a legit foul because Boston was out of gas and playing defense with their arms instead of their feet. Alanon ot Luva or some other Laker fan posted a pic of every foul a day or two after and everyone was legit.

Watch the games!

edit: watch them without the Laker hatred that is
