TOSB doing TOSB stuff.
On Mike and Mike today, they played a Kobe soundbite in which he said resting players takes away from the culture and spirit of the game. He said Phil didn't like that approach, so Kobe and Shaq always played, and so did Michael and Scottie.
During the soundbite, ESPN showed footage of Tim and other Spurs in street clothes on the bench.
Thoughts?

LOL at Kobe talking about the spirit of the game.
Greenie had a fairly long segment today comparing Duncan and Kobe and basically blaming Kobe for the Lakers current situation.
Kirbys desperation is so apparent.
Typical.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In other news: the Lakers have set yesterday night their franchise record for most losses in a season (62). And counting.
oh yeah...that was the other point Mike G was making. There haven't been any other "superstars" that were on a team and had such a bad record. I think Jordan had the lowest win total with 37 at Washington. Duncan's lowest total (non-strike) was 50. Magic's was 53.
Yet Bumani Jones wouldn't call it a criticism of Kobe, just an"oddity." Sounds like another Kobe apologist. Surprising, I thought Jones was above that.
Shaq and Kobe always played...
And Shaq was done sooner than he should have been. Kobe fought injuries the last several years of his career. Meanwhile, Duncan was winning a ring in 2014, is currently playing for a 65 win (and counting) team, and will be gunning for a 6th ring at age 40. All while Kobe is having his retirement tour on a 60 plus loss team. Yeah, Phil was right about that one.
Kobe has 62 losses.
he was definitely trying hard not to be critical of Kobe
And that's why he's washed and played his last playoff game 5 years ago.
Was this a recent sound bite? If so, thenat Kobe talking about Phil and Shaq. Loser.
I don't remember anyone from the Spurs resting back when Kobe and Shaq were together anyway. Pop rested players to throw a wrench into the dynamic ticket pricing system, which scheduled the Spurs against teams like the Heatles at the end of a long road trip to help ensure a nationally televised win for their money teams.
The Lakers were fined more than once for resting players at the end of regular seasons.
Couldn't agree more. You hit it right on the spot.Shaq and Kobe always played..

Is raping and snitching part of the spirit of the game?
"We can still lose nearly every game with all our players on the floor," said Bryant. "When fans are watching a team tank on purpose, they should at least see the entire roster."
'em.
hasn't this guy been resting since 2011?
... but dude, the SPIRIT... the spirit of the gameShaq and Kobe always played...

If Kobe had rested he would've had lasted more and avoided more crippling of his team.
I understand the point of people seeing the stars they want to see. But the Spurs are resting more now due to age.
Kobe instead decided it was good to play with broken fingers and bad ankles at 30+ years of age.
He could've used some Pop resting.
Short. To the point. Masterful use of the apostrophe. I give it 10/10.
'em.
