Who started the meme on this board? I think it was Quedzilla if I'm not mistaken. He needs to get more credit...I think if you come up with a solid meme on the board you get to ban 1 member.

I played in the ACC, which should qualify as knowing something about basketball. But it doesn't take a genius to see that Bryant is simply a volume shooter. He's never shot higher than 46.9% in any given year, even with the MDE in his prime, a guy who was doubled on EVERY possession. Dwight realizes that he doesn't make anybody else better, and it's hilarious to me that Laker fans haven't been able to figure this out yet. Bryant's just a flashy player who has the green light to take any bad shot he wants. And he certainly does.
Nba fans to Schwartz: Water is wet.
He must be a miscer than. Aware yourself.
Lakers imploding per par
the misc ing sucks
Kobe is kind of like a Guderian on the basketball court, very talented and smart, and I can never doubt their abilities to win the matches but they both need to learn how to cooperate with their teammates imho. As a soldier or a player, the first thing you need to learn to do is follow the fuhrer or the coach's orders (even if you don't approve of their ideas), which both guys failed to do.
LOL.
Carlos Boozer
• Playing with Kobe: You know what it was for me? And me and him are good friends, but I hadn't really trained with him -- is how hard he works. We saw his dedication to the game. He would get in the gym, lift weights, he would go over to the gym, get shots up before practice, go through the whole practice, and that was his routine every day. He's not great by accident is my point. He puts the work in. And I think what I learned about Kobe is he's so hungry to be good, he puts the work in. I just think his hunger and his determination is what I was most impressed with.
Michael Redd
• Playing with Kobe: We became good friends over that time period. We're around the same age, so we hung out and had the same perspective around that time. We had great respect, obviously, for each others' games, but talked more about life rather than basketball. And just compe ive in practice. [Those] practices were some of the greatest practices I've ever been a part of. We matched up every day. And you can throw D-Wade in there. It was incredible. So great a teammate. We had a great time together off the court.
CP3 ON KOBE:
Me and Kob really figured out how much we had in common on that trip. That Olympic experience is when we got a lot closer. Me and my wife send him Christmas cards and his family sends us Christmas cards, and now we talk on a regular basis. We both want to win so badly. It's one of those things where as great a relationship as we have, as long as we're playing on the same court against each other, we're always going to get into it, you know what I mean? That's the respect factor, because you know that he wants it just as bad as I do.
Jason Kidd
• Playing with Kobe: Kobe was great. He practices as if it's Game 7. He wants to prove that he's the best player in the world every single practice.
Tayshaun Prince
• Playing with Kobe: You learn a lot of things from Kobe, just his patience and things like that. Just the ultimate compe or. Stays in the gym all the time. Always wants to get better. Always wants to work. When you go out there and play against him, you have to be ready for war. He's always moving, he's always physical, you have to always be alert at any time.
Deron Williams
• Playing with Kobe: I just remember how compe ive he was. Everything with him is a compe ion, and I'm kinda the same way. So we'd just be shooting casually, and it would turn into shooting games, which he would cheat on. (said jokingly)
LeBron James
• Playing with Kobe: That was the first time I'd had the chance to play with Kobe, and I'll always just remember being his teammate. He made a big impact on us. Of course, everyone always remembers that four-point play.
Dwyane Wade
• Playing with Kobe: That shot he hit in the le game, that long 3. No matter what else happens, that is when you're glad to have Kobe Bryant on your team. He played so big in that game. It was Kobe at his best. That was a Kobe moment right there. I was glad he was on my side.
Chris Bosh
• Playing with Kobe: When he hit that 3 against Spain and just posed there -- it was such a tense moment. It was a crazy shot. I wasn't expecting him to shoot, and when he did it took my breath away. That and people's reaction to him in China. That was crazy.
Mike Krzyzewski, Head Coach
• Coaching Kobe: The main thing I remember about coaching both Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul is 100 percent cooperation. Truly great players realize that two acting as one, rather than as an individual, can produce amazing results. With Kobe, coaching him in 2008 is what I had hoped to do 12 years earlier, which was to coach the best player on the planet. He cooperated fully and, really, it is one of the best moments of my coaching career.
Jim Boeheim, Coach
• Coaching Kobe: Kobe, from day one, is just the hardest-working player I've ever been around. He just does an unbelievable job. He came in, he worked out before practice and practiced harder than anybody and then worked out afterwards and continued the whole trip. The first trip we are qualifying and then the Olympics themselves. He's just an unbelievable compe or and in practice goes 100 percent every day in practice and that brings everybody else up to that same level. He was a huge part of us being ready in the Olympics to be able to win. Of course, when we needed a big shot, he made a big shot against Spain.
Mike D'Antoni, Coach
• Coaching Kobe: The intensity is off the charts and he makes everybody better just by his attention to everything the team does and buying into working out and all that. You're talking about one of the highest level of champions that the league has, and to coach him was a dream.
Nate McMillan, Coach
• Coaching Kobe: I've even looked at Kobe and said, 'I think there are times he wants the game close.' He doesn't want a blowout. He wants to play in the fourth quarter and he wants to play late in the fourth quarter and he wants the game close. I think that motivates him, as a way of challenging the game. I haven't talked to him, this is just me. I think he loves that moment so much that he prefers the game, he wants the game to be close so that he can play the fourth quarter.
None of those guys had to play wit Kobe in actual NBA gamesit's easy to say you love playing wit a guy when you r playing wit him in dream team games against bad compe ion.
We've already heard from Phil Jackson, Shaq, Andrew Bynum, Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard n a lot of Kobes actual teammates about how playing wit Kobe sucks.
Stats aren't everything.
I'll cash in my Bible Kemp chip and vote for Avante.
