"You all soft as Charmin!"
*Refuses to play against teams with good perimeter defenders*
DPG said it a long time ago... he keeps calling his fans stupid right at their faces and they still giggle and defend him... not sure I can put that on Kirbs, it's really on the fans, tbh...

Can't call him a liar.
He's taken a huge on his team for years. Charmin is a proper name; a product designed to take from an asshole.
mid, Kobe also wouldn't want the tank to affect his win/loss record tbh. In all seriousness, it's pointless for Kobe to play when the Lakers are clearly tanking.
While refusing to show up at practice
To the contrary, he helps the tanking. Check the record in games where Kobme takes the most shots.
Lakers were and are at their worst with him out there chucking.
Kudos to Kirbs for the few games where he attempted to get assists.
But even then it was all just a MeMe stat padding show it appears.
But he'll def show up to the all star game.
So from what I read on this forum Kobe is , and makes his team worse. So him sitting should ostensibly have them win more games, correct? Isn't this what a team player does rather than jack up 30+ shots and not play defense and hurt the team with a crappy +-? Not sure why he's resting other than he's still reeling from the rehab or is just old. Still, resting or sitting out gives more exposure for the FO to evaluate for next season. Who knows, I've watched Kobe play his entire career and him resting maybe a sign of age, or he's finally figured out what's best for the team in the long run.
what's best for the team.
What's best for the team in the long run is not him sitting out, it's retiring and handing back those $25m in capspace for next season. He figured that one out a long time ago, he just doesn't care about "what's best for the team in the long run".
Hmm, if the end result was to sit him games then why did the FO give him such a high contract? Only time will tell and if this is what it is, then so be it and Laker fans will have him off the books next year with an expiring contract for any takers plus a lot of cap space.
Because the team is run by morons. Same morons that let both Dwight and Gasol walk away without getting even a 2nd round pick for them, and are paying Nash nearly $10m to send Instagram pictures from around the world. I don't blame Kirby one bit for robbing Jimbo blind. The last ruthless act of his career was to steal money from a re , that's what ruthless people do. But "what's best for the team in the long run" doesn't enter the picture at all here.
dumb post. why play kobe hard and risk another injury when we aren't even sniffing the playoffs? He's obviously more effective when rested and a better show too. eat a op
They're willing to throw their team and their franchise under the bus to prop up one player. Not surprising tbh.
Lakerfan was/is up in arms about this, saying he should be around the team, mentoring and spreading his wealth of knowledge since he's on the payroll. Yet Kobe is essentially doing the same thing. He doesn't take his chopper to Staples in home games he sits, doesn't even show up at the practice facility. His teammates only see him when he actually plays a game. Yet nary a peep about that from these hypocrites.
Based on the records as of today:
1) The teams Kobe played prior to him moving into 3rd all time in scoring had a combined record of 501-386 (56.5% winning percentage). Note that he didn't miss any games until he moved into 3rd all time scoring.
2) The teams Kobe played after he moved into 3rd all time in scoring had a combined record of 154-150 (50.7% winning percentage)
3) The teams Kobe didn't play after he moved into 3rd all time in scoring had a combined record of 154-72 (68.1% winning percentage)
Cherry picking at its finest.
Is it too much to wish for that Kobme has f'd up his achilles in his Me chasing 3rd place in scoring?
Could you or one of the guys post this at LakersGround?
Kobe just being the quintessential Laker: Faking injury, stealing money and enjoying the time off. He learned it from the best.

I like how Lakerfan began the season talking about how Kobe was going to pass Kareem for the scoring record. Now, they're content with him passing MJ for 3rd. Sounds like settlin' to me.
OP nuked Laker fans assholes lately. Why u do this to me demon?
