Me too, Frank. Me too.

At 2-14, The Pick! just might stay in LA!

Too bad The Pick will be made by Chaz though

[Medvedenko]

Love the heels called spur fans. Classy as ever. Inferiority complex is on overdrive even in Kobe's retirement shadow. Bunch of straight up pussies. The spurs wouldn't be the spurs without Kobe. Knocking his greatness knocks the spurs rings. Too bad none of these bs fans can see that. Turning into the fans they hate.

Med reaching soooooooooooo far to try and grasp any straw to try and justify playing your last playoff game at 33 while Duncan is competing for chips into his 40s...

I predict he will join the Inside the NBA crew next year and that him and Shaq will start a new off the court feud.

Holy , Deadspin went ing IN


OFF, KOBE

These retirement tours have to end. They are endless, boring, contrived, and completely out of step with reality. It’s only November. I’m supposed to give a about Kobe Bryant retiring when he’s got five AWFUL months of urinating on teammates to go? Were the les and MVP awards not enough formal adulation? Kobe Bryant built his entire career copying Michael Jordan’s moves and psychopathy, with NONE of the charm. (Even that stupid poem bites off Jordan’s retirement.) Why should I celebrate this nutjob’s willful blindness to reality, with his moron coach aiding and abetting it? If anything, Kobe Bryant deserves to finish out his career on some Siberian outpost, dragging his leprous body parts behind him just so he can deny a teammate an open look at the basket.

According to some ST members in todays NBA Chambers would get his stuffed by someone like Mo Williams or Mike Conley since athletes are far superior right now

As I said:

1) Kobe wasnt going to just decide to retire at the end of the year. He HAS to be the center of attention at all times. If hes retiring, he wants to make sure everyone knows it so he can talk about his career as much as possible. My guess is this wasnt the plan. He planned on playing one more year. Unfortunately the only thing the press wants to talk to him about is how awful he's shooting so he decided it was now or never.

2) Did you read his "poem"? Kobe is easily the douchiest person on the planet. Could you POSSIBLY be more self important? Good riddance, jackass.

Nicely said.
