Kobe talking about "playing together"..
Lakers.com’s Mike Trudell interview with Kobe Bryant
"I feel pretty damn confident I can be at a high level for at least another three years. I feel like how I was playing last year – I know I'll be healthy and I'll be ready to go this year – I know what I can bring. And I think I can easily do that for another three years. I think the (Achilles) injury has something to do with it. It really increased the drive. And probably San Antonio getting so close to winning No. 5, probably hurt me a little bit too. I want to make sure I push the ring count out a little further. It was really, really close there. They played phenomenally well. But it's a testament to what skill can do. To what us old guys can do if you play together, if you play with one mind and one purpose you can accomplish great things. It was inspirational for me and hopefully inspirational for the city of Los Angeles and this organization of what we can do, how this tide can change fairly quickly and we'll be looking at a parade."

Also, Kobe being no more than a glorified Culburn with his ring smack.
Kirby greatest strength is now his greatest weakness....
Kobe's comments confuse me. Last time I counted Kobe had 2 rings to Timmy's 4?
But we're only counting the ones where you don't ride the coat tails of Shaq and claim it as a personal victory though, right?
Every game:
Spurs were inspirational. if it wasnt for Kang James and Raray yall would have that "5"
Eh
he forgot about the part where timmy, manu and tony were paid as much as he was alone, last year.. also the part where they are not throwing every teammate under the bus..
Lots of people are happy about the choke...
And the media just eats this up tbh. I have never seen a player be so dishonest with the way he presents himself to the media and yet they refuse to call him out on it. Hope he ruptures his other achilles next season.
This asshole should be in prison not getting paid Millions. Honestly, wishing death to a rapist is not that bad of a thing tbh. I wish he breaks his arm or something.

Kobe is the NBA's version of Alex Rodriguez, from the standpoint of being a public relations fraud. The harder he tries to appear sincere, the more transparent he is - and everybody can see it except him. He should shut up, get off Twitter and focus on both his rehab and where he going to purchase his next pink diamond.
K. Bryant is limping straight toward total irrelevance. He's scratching and clawing to remain relevant, but he's simply not anymore. If he had convinced Dwight to stay, people would still be talking about him all the time. But now, the Lakers are an afterthought. If you disagree....check your current roster. your starting center is Chris Kaman.
He believes if they can play with Kobe's mind and focus on getting him the ball the Lakers will win another chamionship.
Cool thing to say really. I need to look at it, as a fan, a little more like that.
I hate Kobe except playing for the Spurs at veteran's minimum after being amnestied that would be great.
As long as D'Antoni is running the show they're
In a bizarro universe....it would be extremely interesting to see Duncan/Kobe on the same team from beginning to end. I think they win 8 rings at least together. Its kinda like thinking what could have happened if Bird and Magic played on the same team(it would be a way better version of LeBron/Wade). Duncan and Kobe would actually get along. Kobe would want the spotlight...Duncan would say..have it...knock yourself out. Kobe would get a big man that takes the game seriously and play fundamentally sound. Always staying in shape and consistent. Duncan would get a perimeter player that is 2nd to none with his willingness to win(outside of MJ). Both guys strengthes would greatly compliment each other.
Don't think Kobe would have bought into 4 Down when Duncan was at his peak for 8 rings.
Kobe doesn't get it.....Once he tore his Achilles his mindset should've changed..
Should've handed the keys to Dwight and focused on getting right and becoming the distributor and team player that he makes himself out to be. But instead he feels like he still has something to prove...yet the only thing he is going to prove is something that we already know.
He's the most selfish player in the history of the NBA.
It wasn't a coincidence that the Lakers played better when he moved the ball and created instead of trying to become scoring champion at age 35. He just doesn't understand....never will
Kobe's no Duncan when it comes to understanding the big picture. The reason that the Spurs were in the position that they were in last Finals was, yes, Pops and RC and the talent they've acquired since getting Duncan. But none of that would matter without Duncan always seeing the big picture. Duncan, as he has said in interviews, never gets too high on the victories, and never gets too low on the losses. Nothing phases him. How many times has the Spurs faced devastating losses in the playoffs? How many times have we wanted the Spurs and/or Duncan to retaliate physically against a disrespectful opponent? Yet look at the results.
