Lol. He knew he was coming out too so nothing was going to stop him from taking a shot.
Spur fan so insecure
I think he stayed only so he would be the guy to get to 100 pts to get cheered for the tacos. The guy is so insecure...
And failed at it, ofc.
Link?
We were jabbering about Kobe because of the NBA Season Contest that's going on...
11 wins in a row, no insecurities here.
Spurs keep winning but their fans (some) still obsessed with Kobe's stats ...
Yeah, dude. I dont care about the Lakers, except when they screwup my picks.
Not really. But even you have to admit Kobe's attempts at stat-padding are sometimes humorous. Not Ricky Davis or Andray Blatche funny, but amusing nonetheless.
I get that, even though I choose not to participate ... but the cmoments that come with it are laughable ...Link?

So what do you get for winning said contest? A doohickey under your name? some vbookie cash?
My pick was he was going to shoot 25. He shot 26, just for tha tacos.
And failed. Aside of that, no obsession.
Lakers just picked up a full game on the Clipps. Switch ON!!
The trophy. And braggin rights, I guess.
It's just to pass time.
Doohickey
It doesn't matter, it could be for s and giggles. It's still entertaining.
Kobe had nothing on Honeybaked Ham Inc. tonite.
He was adorable.
I'd love a doohickey. Might as well try and catch the wind.
Why so sensitive about our Kobe comments?
Thing is i dont think it's stat padding. To be honest i just think it's ego that leads to bad shot selection. But others think it's stat padding ...can't say I know either way 100% ... But watching him his whole career and reading plenty on him I dont think he keeps track of his numbers or milestones ...but maybe he is full of .
I just hate when guys like Simmons make that assumption and speak like it's gospel. And to be honest I really don't care even if he did. I don't get why other fans do but I guess when you hate a player it bugs you...not me cuz Im not a numbers guy.If I watch Lebron go hard after a rebound to complete a triple double, it doesnt bug me. Sure it's not a "chuck" like Kobe but it is still stat padding.
No one is saying Lebron is not a stat padder. I'll be the first to agree there.
The guy would kill for a triple double.
But Kobe is a stat padder. But its not his fault. His coach is an idiot.
not sensitive, just don't get it. Stat padding should only bug you if you are ruled by stats. Being the stat guy you are, sure you can find one that punishes Kobe or any player for being a volume shooter. So why does their FGA's bother folks?
I guess for me I tend to stick up for the volume scorers that I respect. Rose, Westbrook, Ellis and Kobe are the ones I seem to defend on here that for some reason folks are always harping on their FGA's ... all 3 have horrid shot selection at times. But to me, they ALL do more to help than hurt their teams.
Portland should be adequately shamed to put a mud hole stomping on their very next opponent. And I'm gonna be there when it's walked dry.
This, I vow.
If you don't think he does, I have a bridge to sell you. Of course he'll be PC about it in the media and say he doesn't, but it's clearly evident from watching him play. I can't count how many times he's been in at the end of games that we're either impossible to win or lose simply for the purpose of putting up a few more points.
That said, doesn't bother me. I just find it amusing.
Like I said I dont pretend to know the man, you may be right. What I am saying is that IMHO it's not the stats he is so focused on but the recognition (which feeds his massive ego). Let me give you 2 examples:
1. "not bad for the 7th best player on the NBA ..." Funny line but why the does Kobe care where ESPN ranks him? Maybe a reporter fed that to him, and he did not seek it out but the fact that it bothered him and his FGA's are so high to me is not a coincidence. So to me he cares about his legacy more than the stats.
2. "I have got one more than Shaq ..." True. But after winning a hard fought 7 game series vs. the Celts I would of loved to hear that I have even the score 1-1. Or now it's 16-17 and Im looking to tie it soon ...
So i do think kobe is self centered and egotistical I just dont believe he is a stat padding . I think he is fiercely protective of his legacy and status.
Other examples:
1. I could beat Lebron 1 on1 (said this last year but reporter asked)
2. This team is still built around Me and Pau (pre-season) we eat first
3. Pau has settled as the third option Bynum because of his thirst to score is now our second option (after the mixed start this year)
Again ego, way overprotective of his "status" ...never mentions stats ...

The issue people have with volume scorers is that they seem incapable of playing a different role when their shot isn't falling. Kobe and Rose are the exceptions, however, as they have the ability to turn into facilitators if their shot is off (although it's a role Kobe refuses more often than not).
