Kobe: "I tried teaching Dwight. I tried showing him."

Not disagreeing with you, seeing as I was too young to remember the Hakeem days to a point of following basketball the way I do now, was Hakeem known as a good/friendly teammate?

 

Of course it couldn't have possibly have had anything to do with you, Kobe. Clearly it must have all been Dwight's fault. And your bloated contract isn't an overpayment, and it isn't dragging down the Lakers like a boat anchor for the next few years, either.

You're just golden, Kobe. Why is everybody else such a problem?

Here's a hint, Kobe. Being the biggest @sshole in the room isn't proof that you want to win more. It just means you are the biggest @sshole.

 

Kobe tried to teach him if he played with superstars and the greatest coach , he 'll eventually win a championship .

Dwight on the other hand, knew he can take role players to the final .

 

I'm tired of this linking personality to championship myth, it only started with Kobe

Was Tim Duncan a dick to his teammates when they won 5 championship, was Dirk an ******* to his locker room when they beat the Heat, what about Hakeem, what about Lebron when he was with the Heat, what about the Detroit Piston Locker room when they won in 2004

Talent+good coaching>>>>>>personality

What's a player in NBA history that didn't achieve because he was smiled too much

 

It's not reality, it's the way Kobe did it. That doesn't make it the only way.

 

Kobe just wishes he would have been born a decade sooner so he could have Jordan, the bad boys, and just players of that aggressive DNA that's gone now

Dear Kobe,

STFU

Sincerely,

He was a great teammate and never threw his people under the bus even after losses.

 

But none of those guys are going to have their names right next to MJ's when people think of the GOATs.

People aren't going to compare Duncan or Dirk to MJ. No, that's going to be kobe.

 

I was addressing Kobe's quote, not his views on Dwight's personality.

 

Always funny when this topic pops up. Dwight isn't a tool and wants to enjoy himself, therefor he won't win rings. The logic is undeniable!

 

We crushed the '86 defending champion Lakers 4 games straight in the WCF (losing the 1st), with this



and look how sh!ty those lockerroom chairs are for players of that era....like cheap, conference chairs

 

Understand where Kobe is coming from, after all he has 5 championship rings so at this point the way he must see it as "Look, I've won this way and i'm not changing."

But yeah, you can do it your own way. Dwight just has to play better.

 

Kobe only won because he had Phil Jackson and Prime Shaq/Prime Gasol. He has never done **** when it's just him.

 

ego maniac, but I appreciate his comments towards James.

 

Kobe might have inadvertently proved that he can't win without Phil

 

Huh? LeBron and Duncan are in the same mold. They just aren't assholes. Neither was Magic.

And Kobe's name isn't next to Jordans's in a GOAT discussion either. The only reason they are mentioned together is because they play the same position and one essentially copied everything from the other, even down to mannerisms. The biggest winner post Jordan isn't even Kobe. It's Duncan.
