Lakers: Wishing Kobe a speedy recovery

[Big Empty]

I hate the Lakers as much as the next guy. But i hope the kid can recover. Id be devastated if it was Tum Duncan this happened to or any of our players. As Tim Duncans career winds down after next year, its been a pleasure watching these two go at eachother for the last 15 years! Whever their place in history is, they are the top of the top. Im hoping this isnt career ending.

I appreciate the candor..Fact is 99% of Spur and Mav fan actually love Kobe...they've convinced themselves they don't because of Laker Nation fans such as myself..I see through all of the emotional rants and mean spirited threads. I've firmly believed all along that the most notorious of ST posters the ones that like to use hyperbole and shock to get their points across such as Mono, BR, Midget, DPG, DMC, HarlemHo and the rest I know for a fact they love Kobe and will miss him. It's like a boy and girl always arguing with each other...you know deep down they just wanna ..same concept here...I'm laughing at their attempts at feigned joy over Kobe's injury...

Kobe is the player of the decade it's hard not love that guy but it's easy to pretend not to...

Keep it going "Haters"?

[benefactor]

I wish him the best too...well...nah... him. I hope his career is over.

I simply don't believe you. As with most Spur and Mav fan your simply full of lies on the love or hate Kobe question...I know your kind you guys really like and admire Kobe but you cannot come out and say it...you guys remind me of Gay Republicans who always espouse to really really hate gays...

It's ok to like Kobe dude...he's made the NBA relevant...the last decade we all owe him our gra ude...You don't have to show yours on this site I suspect you will in private when thinking alone

I admire the 10-12th best player of all-time. A player who maximized his talents and had a tireless work ethic in all his endeavors, whether it was in the gym, begging 'Nessa to stay, or jerking off in a Colorado hotel room.

He's just simply not as good as Tim Duncan.

Tim: 3

Kobe: 2


And that's that.

[Mugen]

I wish him a super speedy recovery as well, hopefully he's ready by the Christmas game. And as he comes down from shooting his first jumper that first game back, I hope he completely tears the other achilles.

Nope.

The most popular basketball magazine in the world shares my "minority" opinion:

nice you finally found one that agrees with your opinion...Find me an NBA great, Modern day, or current player (outside of Charles Barkley) that agrees that Timmy > Kobe ...Find me a nation wide poll (outside of the SA express) that thinks Duncan is better than Kobe...

But go ahead you can have slam....my fellow Minority

Let me ask you another question...what does MJ, Magic, Bird, Kareem, and Hakeem all have in common...

They all think Kobe is better than Duncan....you can have Slam I have everyone else...including all of today's current players even Pop believes it but of course he cannot ever say it...

3>2

Rings are team accomplishments.

Satch Sanders has 8. So what.

But only 4 players in history have won 3 or more Finals MVPs.

Backs-to-backs are a team accomplishment.

Random tears of devastation and doubt mixed with inner determination...
Kobe 3:16

[ambchang]

It's Kobe. He will will his heal to recovery he next game and score 47 points on 8 for 30 shooting, with 30 on 35 fts.

[Trainwreck2100]

that's alright he'll probably head to Germany to be oPErateD on again

[Spurs9]

Sucks tbh, I would rather see the Lakers get beat at full strength. Now it won't be the same.

Boiled down, in terms of good Achilles tendons:::

Duncan: 2

Kobe: 1
