Rick Reilly: A day in the life of Kobe

[TheMACHINE]

If I were famous and I went somewhere to work out and I just parked right next to the building without even bothering to find a parking spot, I would hope that someone would just punch me in the face

I bet if Lebron did that, you'd be praising him. But then again, you googled his house and followed him to Chipotle.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Personally, if I owned a gym, I'd let Kobe or Lebron have his own personal parking spot if it meant I could tell people debating whether or not to buy a membership that Lebron or Kobe works out at my gym.

I live like 5 miles from him, it's hard not to know where he lives

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

idk what this argument is exactly about but LMAO @ Allanon saying there are no Chipotles in LA.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Seriously. I think it's funny when people specify a WHITE woman. Just shows where their head is at.

That being said, no Kobe isn't anywhere near "down to earth" or "normal" or even nice. But frankly I don't give a . Just bring us championships.

Exactly, and if Cavs fans honestly believe LeBron gives two s about them then they are in denial. LeBron doesn't care about you, just like Kobe doesn't care about us. Like GBS said above, as long as he brings us championships he can park wherever the he wants. Winning brings money, and money helps the local economy...let him park!

Neither one is as pathetic as Suns fans who were heartbroken over Raja Bell being traded that wouldn't stop ing about how much Raja supposedly loved it in Phoenix and loved all the fans........he loved us so much he demanded a trade.

[Allanon]

that's funny, I ate at a Chipolte when I was there in September

I've never eaten at a Chipolte's in the 10 years I've been in LA.

come on man. I lived in Chicago for 3 years, I know what cities are like. I know how the parking is too

And you still want the man to park his Ferrari where all the regular folk park it?

[j.dizzle]

I love how everything turns into Kobe vs Lebron. Honestly who gives a where they freakin park. Are you guys that bored to argue where they should park? haha..I live in LA & i could already tell you its completely different then Cleveland without me even going there. Kobe rarely walks around by himself & probably can't have a house thats easily accessable. If he had a home like Lebron without a gate or anything, there would be mobs of ppl tryin to ring his doorbell or stalk his ass. Thats why so many celebrities live in gated areas here.

[Allanon]

idk what this argument is exactly about but LMAO @ Allanon saying there are no Chipotles in LA.

I've never eaten or seen a Chpotles in LA in the 10 years here.

And I just looked it up, there are 0 Chipotles in Los Angeles. Where did you find a Chipotle in LA?

[DeadlyDynasty]

I'd even go as far to say that Lebron is a bigger star here than Kobe is in LA. Lebron has been a superstar here since he was a sop re in High School.

And Paparazi don't follow Kobe around, those people follow Paris Hilton and stars like that so they can sell magazines to young girls. Kobe is a star to men who don't care if Kobe is walking out of Saks on a Tuesday afternoon with 2 bags of designer jeans. Sports stars in LA are no different than sports stars everywhere: their fans know them, and men around the country know them but that's about it

Well no sherlock, how'd you figure that one out? Hollywood is the center of the universe when it comes to the entertainment industry, so naturally there will be more compe ion. Let's take a look at Lebron's compe on:

The pathetic Cleveland Indians
" " Cleveland Browns
Drew Carey
"Major League" re-runs
No hot es

if LeBron wasn't "proportionately" a bigger star given those cir stances then something would be horribly wrong...

[Allanon]

I just checked, there are 56 Chipotles in Los Angeles and Orange Counties

There are 0 Chipotles in Los Angeles as I said. There are Chipotles in the surrounding area but none are within Los Angeles.

[dirk4mvp]

Its' the thuggish ruggish bone!

[Thunder Dan]

I just looked up the sports club in question, and the fire lanes are clearly marked- you have the option of illegally parking like Kobe in a fire lane, or parking in the parking deck like everyone else

Ah, there are 3 Chipotles.

One at the Beverly Center, one at the Farmer's Market and one at UCLA.

Sure, those are really local.

Dude....let it go.

This will burn you up.

Back away from the computer.

It's not that big of a deal.

And like DOK said, if I was an owner of a Health Club and Kobe or Lebron becomes a member, they would have free membership as long as they want and I'd hire an employee to carry around their dirty jockstraps if they so desires.

This thread isn't about Chipotles, or you stalking LeBron at them...it's about a day in the life of Kobe. Stay on topic or I'll have to ask Kori to ban you from the thread

You mean the one at USC? Yeah, that's easy to get to

[Thunder Dan]

3748 S. Figueroa Street is close to the heart of the city, under 2 miles from Staples

[Allanon]

3748 S. Figueroa Street is close to the heart of the city, under 2 miles from Staples

It's also on the USC campus. There would be a mob there.

[Thunder Dan]

the point is I am right, you are all wrong. That's the new topic of this thread
