yaeh, that one was indefensable(sp). I'm actually surprised that he didn't get killed by the media more than he did.
Last year against the suns hurt, definitely. Maybe we'll get our chance and play them again in the first round. We'll see....I do love the hate though, anyone I mean anyone avg 58 points per game over 3 while shooting 50+% the NBA and media would blow themselves...especially if it was Wade or Lebron.
I still am waiting for him to go for 82 this season ...
When you list the most overall talented players of the past 20 years, there's MJ and there's Kobe. I think MJ is definitely better, but the point is there's nobody else in the discussion.
They both have/had huge egos, but the difference is that not even Jordan's biggest critic would accuse him of being emotionally capable of doing the crap that Kobe did against the Suns. And could you imagine Jordan NOT finding a way to co-exist with Shaq? No friggin way.
Kobe is a great player but a ty person. Guess what, it doesn't matter what kind of person he is since the only use he has to anyone outside of his family is the fact that he plays basketball for our entertainment. That is all he is good for, and he is great at it. Enjoy the er while he's still able to do it
You need an intervention.Shoot...if the pay is good, I'd take it!
I am sure he will try for it repeatedly- whether or not the game requires him to or no.I still am waiting for him to go for 82 this season ...
You know him personally or what?
We are all witnesses to the greatness. I used to hate MJ and was a pure hater of all his abilities back in the day. I called him selfish, ty team player, (not to mention his off court issues)...but after a while I appreciated his talent and what he brought to the game. Kobe is the closest we'll get to a Jordan in our lifetime. Best selling Jersey in China and the US...arguably the most popular and infamous player in the NBA, not to mention all of sports.
Not likely. Someone always comes along.
Yikes are you overconfident. How did the Mavs do when they choked their ass off against the Suns a week ago. You think the Suns have no shot against your squad dream on. Spurs as well they have the experience and the talent to challenge you big time. Dallas is not deserving of the kind of credit you just gave them, not even close.
He does have his share of fans.
That is 100% unadulterated nonsense. Here's the proof in the pudding, the Lakers have a guy like Kobe who can go off and score more than anyone. They are the favorites. Thank you, thank you.
You're unemployed, sport.
You got to get a Blackistone avatar before anyone will take you seriously
Kobe Bryant, he's our man. If Kobe can't score 65, you think Kwame Brown can?
Yeah, I'm watching as well. Straight from Blackistone's mouth
You're a dumbass for taking that seriously.
Kevin Blackistone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Kevin Blackistone is a former reporter and columnist for The Dallas Morning News from 1986 to 2006, and is a regular panelist for ESPN's Around the Horn.
[edit] Career
He was born in Washington, D.C. and raised in Hyattsville, Maryland, and started his career in journalism as a city side reporter at The Boston Globe newspaper. In 1983, he wrote for The Chicago Reporter, a monthly investigative magazine on Chicago's racial and social issues. In 1986, Blackistone joined The Dallas Morning News newspaper as a reporter in the City section; he later moved to the Business section covering economics, and the Metropolitan section covering city events and issues.
After covering Nelson Mandela's U.S. tour in 1990, he moved to SportsDay to cover sports business and write columns. A year later, he became a full-time SportsDay columnist.
In September 2006, Blackistone was one of 111 journalists to accept a buyout offer from The News, forcing his departure from the newspaper on September 15, 2006. Editor Bob Mong, in an article on the buyouts, wrote of Blackistone: "His thoughtful and probing journalism almost always stimulated response from readers, and, in this hyper-busy world, that's saying something."
Blackistone, despite no longer working for the paper, is still on Around the Horn.
[edit] Awards
Blackistone's several honors include first- and second-place awards for sports column writing from the Texas Associated Press Managing Editors (APME), a Chicago Newspaper Guild award for investigative reporting, and a National Association of Black Journalists award for enterprise reporting. He was also a member of a team that won a Texas APME award and, several times, a finalist for a Press Club of Dallas Katie Award.
Wikipedia is truly taking over the world
Yeah, and him changing to 24 didn't have anything to do with that?
Of course changing your # gives a boost to your jersey sales...but he sees nominal return as he's a NIKE employee and the Jerseys are made by Addidas.
Oh alright i guess i will check all future posts for SARCASM from now on ASSHOLE.
Well when you're replying to someone with the username Jay Mariotti, I'd think that'd be the correct thing to do.
Kobe has 27 at the half
Kobe, 37 points with 9 minutes left in the 3rd
