Kobe Bryant: ‘I’m Hoping I Can Have The Same Rebirth’ Like Spurs

[RD2191]

Kobe has Kobe to blame for the Lakers downfall. He singlehandedly destroyed the Lakers franchise. (For the foreseeable future)

[Ditty]

A little to late for that you piece of .

[hsxvvd]

Hard to ask for a rebirth when your own game looks like an after-birth.

[exstatic]

The re-birth of the Spurs involved Tim doing things that Kobe never could, like accepting 2nd or sometimes 3rd status on offense. We also had to trade a hard asset, George Hill, for the pick that became Kawhi. LA has no such asset.

Hope he comes back next year and embarrasses himself even more. If anyone can shoot under 30% for a season its Kirby tbh.

He'll be an All-Star if he plays another year -- voted in.

In fact, even if he retires, he probably still be an All-Star (like Magic the year after he retired).

[UZER]

Kobes still thinks the lakers death is not his fault.

[DMC]

1. Lakers eat the contract & cut him loose
2. Kirby signs with Spurs for vet min
3. Pop coaches the asshole out of him
4. Plays 3rd banana to Kawhi & TP

lol... Pop only has 1000 wins, not enough time in his career.

He's right. He's just an employee. The death is due to Sr management and ownership.

I can see Kobe going the Bruce Jenner route, and playing as the first woman in the NBA next season.

It would be a fine testimony to the human spirits ability to change from bad to good.

Kirbs, willingly playing a lesser role with a genuine humble, sharing at ude.
Contributing to a legitimate championship.
Wow, that would be something beautiful.
Will it happen?
But it's possible.

[Sean Cagney]

I'd trade En ty for him without even blinking

And you would get a older player who is out for the year.... Real wise move. Oh yes he is paid alot more too.

[ElNono]

lol no hope for you

[DMC]

Please

Kobe doesn't pay himself. How can you pin it on him? Sure he's a cancer, but cancer causing agents are at work here and there's a treatment center they refuse to visit.. at some point you have to blame the host.

You forgot about Tiago

[DJR210]

You forgot about Tiago

I said playing in the NBA..Tiago doesn't play anymore.

Throughout his career, Kobe has made statements indicating that he has some kind of preoccupation or maybe even an obsession with the spurs. He's talked at length regarding his feelings towards all of the big three and pop as well. It's like he desperately wishes that the Lakers were them, but doesn't realize that for that to happen, he would have to change who he is. Ironically, he himself is the biggest impediment to becoming that which he covets.

Exactly. He likely cost himself a ring or two by forcing guys out of town / not taking less cash. To each his own.
