PJ did call him "uncoachable" and "selfish" at one point, even saying that he wouldn't return to the lakers if Kobe was till there during the Shaq fiasco so its pretty clear how much Kobe is to blame even though Dantoni is .
Kobe has every reason to want D'antoni gone. He's just not a good leader. His passive-aggressiveness comes out in interviews, press conferences. Not a great quality for a coach. On top of that, he's shown an impressive ability to not adapt his system to the strengths of his players. Fredo should have known better. And anybody who says hiring him was Jerry Buss' final wish for the Lakers is certifiable. Either Jerry Buss was too far gone to make a clear decision, or Fredo is using the story as cover. No way a coherent Buss makes that hire.

^Though Phil did come back, hat-in-hand---tail tucked asking for a hand down from Kobe. Kobe, being the bigger man than Phil granted upon him.
"We worked for a half-hour on (defense)," D'Antoni retorted. "You're starting to (expletive) me off. You're starting to (expletive) me off because you're saying something that's not factually correct. "
Come on sons...
Or you guys can just hire a puppet coach (like Jason Kidd) and let God coach himself, tbh. Pop is the only coach that's good enough to coach God but no way would he leave the Spurs.
Bryant is a high priced scrub now...he has no room to make any kind of demands...just take your money and stfu dik sucker
Reeks of 6.Bryant is a high priced scrub now...he has no room to make any kind of demands
So Kobe's coach killing now?
I thought you was against coach killing?
I'll choose the time, place and inquisitor when I decide to take an exam.
You seem a little salty lately?
Kobe quitting the season sits in your gut like bad takeout don't it?
Kirby quit & you know it, that's why he and the bag are inseparable.
Serious question, in what capacity will kobe's game even be relevant when he comes back.
He literally plays the complete opposite of how the NBA is now for the most part, he is a slow it down player with no athleticism left who needs post ups and isolation basketball to thrive. The championship level teams all run, play small ball, move the ball and look for the best shot available. It really is incredible how Duncan has outlasted Kobe tbh
I don't really know if Kobe can properly adjust his game and still be an elite player either. He needs to go back to the facilitator role he made sure to make a huge deal of either last year or the year before when everyone was calling him Kobe Johnson (so gay). His chucking just won't cut it anymore.
People said he was done in 2011, he came back and registered one of his most efficient season with mind blowing athleticism in 2013
You're kidding right? Kobe was baging all last season tbh.People said he was done in 2011, he came back and registered one of his most efficient season with mind blowing athleticism in 2013
His athleticism was so mind blowing that he blew out his achilles. Nice take.People said he was done in 2011, he came back and registered one of his most efficient season with mind blowing athleticism in 2013
Efficient and Kobe don't go together, bro.People said he was done in 2011, he came back and registered one of his most efficient season with mind blowing athleticism in 2013
Point is, Kobe logged his best EFG% and 3rd best TS% of his career. Statistically, he logged identical #'s from his 08-09 season which is impressive considering he's 34.
What about his defense?
Whoopty do. This overrated idiot's career FG% is 45.4%. Is that anything to write home about? I think not, considering that Monte Ellis' career shooting percentage is 45.5%. Yet Ellis has the reputation of a gunner, and Bryant has the reputation of being some kind of "great" player, which he isn't.
The truth is, both are simply volume shooters.
Career Numbers:
K. Bryant: FG 45.4%...Assists 4.8...Turnovers 3.0
Monta Ellis: FG 45.5%...Assists 4.8...Turnovers 2.8
^This is a quality ing poster right here.how he still make demands he worse than scrub now ?!?
I told you that the "this isn't about Mike's job" meeting was about Mike's job. It's always about what they say it's not about. It's like when you work for a corporation and you're part of a reduction in force, the meeting always goes "there's no truth to the rumors that we are going to have layoffs"... you better start looking.
Lakers.
Gets paid a but load yet still holds the organization hostage. They should have just paid him to leave
