This kind of bs exaggeration is,why I defend Kobe.
I dont think we've seen the last of the Kobe BS drama, I still see a firework show of an ending to this drama at the end of his career when the next superstar tries to take over the Lakers.
This kind of bs exaggeration is,why I defend Kobe.
You just know when that day comes that they'll have to amputate his hands for him to let go of that ball.![]()
Name me another player that sabotaged a game 7 and an NBA Finals with his selfishness. Another that got gifted multiple all defense nods. How about one that has his FG% swept under the rug? Propped up as a player of the decade even though he was a second banana the first half of it? I could go on tbh.
feel free. Sure he is overrated by some hated on ridiculous by others you sound like the others tbh
He is overrated by the masses not just by 'some'. You can't name me another player that has been overrated to the extent Kirby has tbh.
It's just like BRHornet45 said, tbh... manufactured "superstar"... ESPN built it...
Honestly, I think for what he is designed to do, he is amazing at it and a legend, that is my opinion of Kobe. My issue with Kobe as a fan is he is and has always been a HORRIFIC leader. The moment Kobe called the Lakers 'MY TEAM' when Dwight and Nash signed, I was done with the season, I felt Kobe proved he's made in that 1 comment. You'd NEVER see a confident alpha like Michael Jordan make a comment like that. That was pure fear and insecurity talking.
Then, when the team started sucking, it was no longer 'MY TEAM', it was ":'( But Pau needs to pull his big boy pants up" and "Dwight is not a great teammate"
Yep it was all ESPN he see as sucks, especially when he busted the Spurs ass y'all just sucked worse ...
Why are you trying to drag the Spurs in this convo, tbh?... The Spurs lost to a lot of teams over the years, including the Lakeshow, and cleaned the clock of a lot of teams, including the Lakeshow.
Back on topic, of course Kirby probably has the best marketing agency in the league... This is a guy that whenever he wants to say something he sends an agent to tweet some to get the word out... "Sources tell me Kobe has the flu, but will play anyways#warrior"...
tbh, that parking lot video where he s on Bynum was shocking because it's the first time they caught him saying stuff like that upfront...
And everyone eats that up tbh. Lakers win it's thanks to Kobes 'greatness'. Lakers lose and it's everyone else's fault and Kobe is doing all he can even though there's statistical proof that Kobe chucking at a high rate is detrimental to the Lakers success. is coddled to death by the media and uses them as his puppets. Like HH said, with his media manipulation skills he couldve probably become president if he had gone that route.
Who said he sucks? He's one of the greatest one on one players ever but he can be that and still be extremely overrated.
and lol at the dumbass quote in your sig
The King's greatness has already surpassed Kirbys and he would never be accused of being selfish. Duncan, Magic, Bird, etc.
I think when you register at LG.com and the name is taken already, the suggestion is "Kobe1234?" or "Kobedunks123?" or "Kobelicious123?" There are like 5000 Kobe names there. Even the ones who come here have that moniker.
You probably don't see nearly as many Tim Duncan names here. there's probably more Ginobili account names than TD names, like "IllegalsHeartGino" or "GinobilisOCHO". it's been said before but Kobe could've been a dangerous politician, he's amazing at manipulating the media and throwing s under the bus, essential skills as our current HNIC/CIC attests.
I hope Koolaid forgives me for dropping some truth bombs about Kobe...inb4 he's fed up with this board
