Kobe is nice. He is a genious on the court. He has more skill than T-mac even when T-mac was at his prime. He is still better than LBJ. Off court Kobe is just another dude. But you have to respect his approach to the game.

He did lock up T-mac in a few houston games but he has trouble with Shane Battier for some reason. Dude can’t score on Battier for nothing.

re: I don’t believe it when they say ‘Oh, that player is just hot today.’ Fuck that! Cool his ass off then.

really, who else can RESPECTFULLY write that text in the league other than maybe KG and ummmm artest/bowen?
cp3, vc, t-mac, d-wade, lebron, pierce, ray-ray, redd…he’s talking about you fools. i remember a game against houston a few years ago where t-mac was killing the lakers in the first half. second half came w/ kobe guarding him. t-mac literally didn’t score the rest of the game and the lakers won. that was magical…

tobacher….

C’mon, yo. You are missing the bigger picture. Of course he has character issues that rub peeps the wrong way. Look how he grew up underneath the most glaring microscope known to any player coming into the league. Jordan didn’t come into the league like that. Not straight outta high school any way. Kobe got his knocks in the shadow of greatness already made. The expectations that go along with that is part of the package that he had to deal with. Just like Magic had to. And Kareem. And Wilt. IT’S THE LAKERS, HOMIE!!! It takes a player with brass balls to handle that kind of pressure EVERY YEAR. I love Shaq also but why is it that he left every team that was destined for greatness when it looked like the pressure was mounting to do just that? Orlando, LA, Miami. Great coaches and players around him. And he split every time. And when Nash leaves, he’s gonna get into it with Amare. Kobe has his issues but when it’s all said and done, he’s still a Laker.

thist is just mostly…
…kitsch, sugar, pseudeo whatever you wannna call it…

What is kobe gonna write into an article like this guys? – WHAT YOU WANT TO F*** HEAR.

Supporting role? Facilitator?!? – laughable, remember how Kobe played back then? He was playing against the opponent as well, but mostly fighting his teammates for the ball.

“The chemistry we had..:” What the f***? Him and Shaq = great chemistry? it’s like itchy & scratchy saying they got good vibes, good old times, “oh it was ok for me to be killed by scratchy every night, i did it for the team”

Btw: How the hell does Kobe not get dissed for wanting out just when his team started to finally get better?? – ANd it’s not like that was entirely new, it was pretty apparent last season, that Luke, Jordan and vujacic would get a lot better, and seemingly he had’nt talked to Bynum for like ages…

don’t fall for it, amazing player, weak person.

I remember a statement from Bron where he said I don’t need to work on anything,I’ve just got to fine tune them.That right there shows the difference between Kobe vs The other next MJ’s.If that Rape incident hadn’t occurred Kobe would definitely have been the poster child for NBA.Then the Shaq trade just wound his Persona into the ground.Dude’s done very well to come back and win the MVP.That just shows that even though people still don’t think highly of him his talent,will and drive is undeniable.

kobe is not better than jordan. sorry. but i do agree that lebron gets a double standard because people use the same logic against kobe that they could against lebron(accomplishments). I believe that lebron will one day be great, but right now kobe is the most skilled player in the league. His drive is incredible. And I can’t stand him, but i respect the hell out of him. Not better than jordan, though. He is the closest thing to jordan since jordan, and we will see if lebron can perfect that jimmy and become even more unstoppable.

Not to be a prick but why did it take an article for people to realise this is the dude is?

He has had constant hatred from pretty much everyone, from pretty much the inception of his career, to struggle for existence on the Laker’s w/ Shaq and Phil Jackson, a publicly exposed affair/court case, booed in his home town when he won the All-Star MVP and was called a ball-hog because he wouldn’t pass to Chris Mihm and Smush Parker so he could win.

If you compare his situation in the last few years w/ T-Mac’s in Orlando, you can see the gulf in player. T-Mac got nothing in the East. Kobe got the play-offs in the West.

This comment makes me sound like a SUPER KOBE STAN but this is actually just the truth. His ability to WILL his way to win games seperates him from Vince, T-Mac and Bron. I think only D-Wade comes ‘remotely’ close.

This dude is an inspiration to me, whether I’m in the boxing gym or on the trading floor.

And…DAMN…I sound gay…
