I love Timmy calling their BS celebration!
"I don't know what you want me to say... whatever ya..."
I've not seen Timmy that annoyed in a while. Kind surprised that he didn't just BS about Kobe like everyone else though
I love Timmy calling their BS celebration!
"I don't know what you want me to say... whatever ya..."
"But was it as good for you as it was for him?"
This video really couldn't capture or highlight the differences between the two any better. One the ultimate attention who is basking in his own glory at the expense of 11+ other guys getting better or developing...while the other is once again on an actual contender and is focused on his team and his team's development and can give a about the year long bj everyone's been giving Kome. I can't stop laughing at the first reporter countering Duncan's first "No" with a "NO?!" of his own out of utter shock like Duncan's supposed to read from the Kobe bj strict the entire league and media has been reading from. God I love that guy!
Haha Timmy tired of all the kobe talk lol
Tim looked really annoyed. And understandably so. Like 3-4 question on a row about kobe.![]()
TD basically going mostly Pop-style with the press
The LA Media lap dogs got their pre-determined narrative bubble burst by TD. It did not compute for some of the talking heads and reporters - so called "journalists". It's kind of funny.
Duncan may not come back next year either, but he is too much of a pro to have a dog and pony show for 82 games + playoffs. He's trying to win championships, not friends - not adulation.
Kobe's ego has to be stroked constantly - thus the dog and pony show is on for him.
Timmy is even more authentic than Pop. Most of the time Pop is no BS in his media sessions, but he'll play the media thing and gush about another team or player. Tim will play it for 1 or 2 questions, but after that he'll get sarcastic. And its more genuine sarcasm, I think Pop's thing is an act to prevent future stupid questions. Timmy really is pissed. Funny for a player so stoic and unflappable on the court.
They also act like Kobe was Tim's personal rival. I'd say Shaq, KG, Dirk and to a lesser extent Rasheed were Tim's great rivals during his career. In recent years its been Tim vs. LeBron. Tim vs. the Lakers is so 00's.![]()
Duncan just jealous of pop flirting with kobe. He thought he was the only one for pop.
What is Tim supposed to say? Those were horrible questions. "Are you going to miss playing a legend?" What? They're asking the question as if Tim isn't the better player. Tim is worried about the guys like KD/Steph building their resume, not some guy chucking 25 shots in another loss. "How was it playing Kobe for the last time?" Does that question have an answer?
Actually Timmy seemed pretty gracious until the last question - the straw that broke the camel's back. It was about as perfect as an interview could get between the REAL GOAT and all the Kobe sycophants.![]()
It's the first time ever I'm a little annoying by tim. I don't like when players have that ugly tone. No need for that
Get the outta here! Know your place scrub!
He doesn't like you either so no worries.
None of the toadies asking questions grasped the very basic asymmetry in the two players' legacies or situations. Tim = TEAM. Kobe = ME. Not only that, but Kobe is sailing off on a self-promotional tour. Tim is still playing for a contendah. Tim is on to the next game, Kobe on to the next ego banquet.
Ok, just saying his tone was a little rude, no need to release the hounds.
Kobe bragging about his four playoff wins over the Spurs even as his team just got swept in the season series....
