So much for Capri's excuse that "Tim's not Kirby's rival, he's Shaq's rival"![]()

“Kobe Bryant, for example—why does he get a two-year contract extension for $50 million?” Klinsmann recently told New York Times magazine. “Because of what he is going to do in the next two years for the Lakers? Of course not. Of course not. He gets it because of what he has done before. It makes no sense. Why do you pay for what has already happened?”Bryant smiled when those words were read back to him.
“I thought it was pretty funny. I thought it was pretty comical actually,” Bryant said. “I see his perspective. But the one perspective that he’s missing from an ownership point of view is that you want to be part of an ownership group that is rewarding its players for what they’ve done while balancing the team going forward. If you’re another player in the future and you’re looking at the Lakers organization, you want to be a part of an organization that takes care of its players while at the same time planning for the future. Jurgen is a coach, a manager. He’s not a GM or owner of the franchise. When you look at it from that perspective, it changes a little bit. But you probably could have used another player as an example.”
Instead, Bryant appeared more bothered about a certain rival named Tim Duncan tying him for NBA championships after the San Antonio Spurs beat the 2014 Finals against the Miami Heat. Duncan appears in great position to win a sixth ring next season to eclipse Bryant.“If you ask me if I’m okay with Tim doing it, I’m not,” Bryant said. “I’m not okay with that.”

He's not..he's being a compe or...he said the same last year....one thing for sure though is that the entire CLipper organization is clearly not Kobe's rival![]()
Don't really see that as salty. Of course he's irked that the guy he's feuded with for most of his NBA career has now tied his championship count. It's a real shame he'll never be able to ring again. Dude was truly great.
Eat , Kirby. Because boiled down, it's
Duncan - 5 (& Counting)
TOSB Bryant - 3.5
Typical passive aggressive bullshyte from Kobme.
Kobe thinks Laker fans are truly stupid - it's a slap in the face. He's trying to claim his contract doesn't limit LA and basically using the average fan's lack of knowledge to win them over.
it's true, tbh..
Greatest media manipulator in sports history, I've always said..
Revisionist acting like Kobe 3peated by himself, ignoring the giant gorilla in the room.
Klinnsman is that dude, tbh, already leading team USA to victory today, too..
No he doesn't...let Kool take you on a journey into the mind of Kobe....see I go into the mind whereas Spur fan be trynna take people into the ass of their superstar....follow me...
Kobe won 5 les without a paycut...in his mind the Onus is on the Laker brass and not him....so what is he doing? he's challenging them to go out and break the bank...it's their profit margins they should be worried about and not Kobe's....if they're willing to pay him 25 per then he see's no reason they won't go out and spend another 15-20 per for two more stars....basically pay whatever penalty is before you but field a winner...what Spur fan fail to realize is we don't win like the Spurs....Kobe's had 9 coaches during his career and his core team of players has changed often whereas Duncan has played in stability his whole career...the Lakers go out and buy champions whereas the Spurs manipulate players to take less...and convince them that it's noble...put the onus back on the teams and force them to put a winning team on the floor...
and Kobe can get away with that because he's in the LA market....it's chess not checkers ok DPG...your limited in knowledge just like height....but it's ok because:
Ya ^ You are one of the idiots Kobe thinks is an idiot
not understanding how the salary cap works
I don't have time to read up on it...I can get one of my Asian friends to brief me....I'm too busy but I will say this....we can blow past the salary cap....we'll take a small hit and bounce back...we don't have to manipulate our stars and sucker them in with emotion to get them to take less...
No, you can't.
Didn't you lose an ELE bet with Frizzle?![]()
Kobe isn't OK with anyone else getting a ring because he's a compe or, but he's also a greedy mother er and what he cannot or eat he s on.
sure we can go past the cap...it's a soft cap...repeater penalties? no problem we pay
quote it or he didn't say it![]()
and if he had a said it he would have been talking about the illegals from Mexico...not Kool
"I just … I don't understand … the city here … for me not trying to bite my tongue and not calling them dumb, which I kinda just did."
