This seems pretty overblown. It's a tie game with the shotclock turned off in the 4th quarte. Kobe's clearly pumped and is pretty much telling everyone to gtfo the way. Bird did it, MJ did it. Is there an elite wing player that didn't do this? It feels like most players this good have some crazy personality disorder that makes them want it more than anyone else. The only elite "good guys" I can think of are all big men. It's kind of interesting, actually.
Looked like Kobe was talking mad $hit to one of the guys and Lin stepped in to try to calm the storm. Kobe just acted like the b**** he is. If only Rasheed Wallace was the recipient of that crap. Kobe would do have woke up in a dumpster
Its his way of saying "please, no turnover". Lin needs to know his place before giving other players advice. Hakeem wouldnt mouth off like Kobe, but I am sure he wouldn't take it too kindly if Zan Tabak stepped in the middle of a game and decided to give his 2 cents to Hakeem. Its Kobe. He will keep slapping..
Daddy Shaq and Gasol/Bynum led Kobe to those titles. Kobe was the leader of a lottery team without them. The most overrated media created star in basketball tbh.
Because Kobe is a sociopath. Wouldn't be surprised to see him involved in some serious **** a few years after retiring.
What's sad is Kobe could go out like a winner instead of chucking 30 shots a game trying to pass MJ lifetime points He's a selfish d******d. No longer a winner.
