holyharlem with the epic goods
"No matter how many MVP trophies Kobe might collect in the decade ahead"? Crazy, he only got one regular season MVP and then two finals MVP trophies. For all the Laker fans talk about how Kobe is better than Duncan (even though they play different positions), Duncan has two season MVP trophies and three finals MVP trophies. Pretty neat, huh?
Forget Duncan, try MJ.
Is Kobe Bryant the most popular player of all time?

Losing to the Suns is bad enough but getting blown out? Thankfully Heat won so ESPN will ignore this...

Best thing that will happen after we're blown out by the Spurs first round is seeing Pau Gasol traded.
Good, good... now they're giving up.

This. I think it's too much of a coincidence how often Kobe's getting hammered this year. Yes Kobe's still top 5 (i think) in FTAs, but you can tell he's physically getting a lot more contact.
Yep, if he got touch foul calls like the other guys he'd be scoring even more easily. He wouldn't get as tired since he'd contribute at the foul line more. Instead, he gets clowns who jump into his shot and sprain his ankle without a foul called. Or he gets hacked while driving to the basket and nothing gets called.

No, they've just had to be incredibly superlative in their performance to Overcome that rigging. Rigging the game via the refs can do a lot to influence the outcome, but it can't Guarantee an outcome. The Lakers of Kobe's time just have to beat the refs as well as the other team.
For example, refs can keep their whistles silent when Kobe's on the attack, but, when he can hit amazing shots Despite all the pushing and hacking going on, then the best they can do is limit his scoring opportunity to the made basket without a bonus.
They can also blow the whistle unfairly to slow Laker momentum and give the opposing team more chances to come back or win, but they can't prevent a choking at the free throw line in the closing minutes, and lots of games have slipped away right there.
I think a statue of Kobe in front of the arena should feature hands pulling on his jersey, slapping his head and hanging off his arms as he goes up for a jumper. Nothing would better describe how it is for him and the will to win past it.
Can't tell if this is a sarcastic post, but this is what I'm used to - that we play 5 v 8, but still beat the odds, overcoming major trials and tribulations in the process! Still happy to see most of the posts on this thread are logical.Back to top
The dumb s on that board have dramatically increased lately. They still cant see the primary issue is Kobe.

LOL like I said before their fans are the biggest ing idiots on the planet, I am sure of it now. Most of them just Kobe fans too and not LA fans in all reality, they care what he does more than the team.

They are complaining about Stern, refs, ring chasers and media coverage

They actually think the refs have it against the Lakers? Seriously? Or this is an inside joke or something?

Expectations are high. This is LA, not Charlotte.
He knew that coming in and he has to be judged by championship standards.
I have never been to LA but I have been to Charlotte and they love basketball and championships too ( o Tarheels anyone?) so yeah I get that the Lakers are champions and I still think this year could be the beginning of another 3-Pete and getting Kobe past Jordan for rings in total. So not sure what Charlotte or North Carolina has to do with that.
Maybe because Jordan went to college at NC???
That's LG for ya ......
Wow

So true. Many of those idiots are just Kobe nuthuggers, not real LA fans. If Kirby gets +15 FTA's per game and LA still loses the game, the game has to be rigged. ing delusional idiots. Against GSW LA had a +17 advantage in FT's, but of course that isn't enough. And that game wasn't even played in LA. Can't imagine the FT differantial if the game was played in LA... but even then probably not big enough for those Kobe riders...
^Only pussies & assholes blame the officiating.
The thing is, Kobe doesn't get the calls the way he used to for whatever reason. Then they watch Lebron and Wade get all the calls and the fan base feels theirs a conspiracy against Kobe.
It was even a topic a few weeks ago on John Irelands ESPN show about why Kobe doesn't get the calls he used to.
Personally, I think after he raped Kate Faber, the refs have it in for him.
Though after he raped Kate Faber he went:::
Kobe: 5
the tired old bag Duncan: 4
tee, hee.
Lol @ sportstudi's signature let it go, man. Let it go
Your reaction only proves you're still butthurt over the WCSF 2006
