Kobe on Arenas' 60 pts game: "he took terribe shots"

That is such a lack of resepct on Kobe's part. Talk about being a sore loser. You got took, just suck it up and admit it. I like how he says that Arenas took bad shots... Kobe certainly needs to self evaluate himself sometime.

 

Haha, kobe lets Gilbert light his team up for 60pts and all he can do his hate. Just shows you how much class he has.

 

I was curious about when someone would post this. I can't start threads myself. I too have no respect for Kobe, the person. And it's not because 'he's the best player so everyone hates him.' I have no problem w/ Wade, Lebron, etc. I think it's pretty transparent what kind of personality he has. I'm surprised so many people think he's changed or he's any different from a few years ago.

Who does this describe - takes poor shots, gets favorable calls, gets an unfair amount of free throws, scores 60+ points, leads his team. My first thought is Kobe. And he's accusing Arenas? If anyone else did the name-calling it would be a little more tolerable (although still immature and obviously just lashing out). Arenas was in the zone and took many tough shots. Kobe should know better than anyone about grabbing the ball and taking your shot despite the fact that someone else is open.

Before you know it Kobe is going to start calling out other players for cheating on their wives.

 

Was Kobe just joking or he was serious about it ?

 

Kobe's a punk - wha'd you expect?

 

To me, Kobe said this because he was hatin after a loss, but the words are somewhat merited. I love Gilbert Arenas, but his game is just weird. He can score from pretty much anywhere, which makes him a superstar. Most players are better shooters when their wide open...Gilbert just has no conscience, and the defense good or bad really doesn't effect his shot much. He's just like the Kobe of a couple of years ago..hell Kobe nowadays even resorts to terrible shot hogging when the Lakers are losing. Kobe took at least 15 terrible shots vs Shane Battier's defense, but he was just on fire. Kobe should give respect to Gilbert being on fire. The Wizards need two out of their big three to be playing well to win most games.

 

Get outta my head. Stop stealing my thoughts!!!

 

Hahaha. High five!

 

Kobe is an ultra competitive guy. Sometimes you get people who can be competitive and nice, but for the most part people with that menality are jerks.

 

You're right, but personally I don't even mind the jerks that much. Kobe worsens his situation by projecting the nice guy image that most perceptive people can see right through. It's irritating.

 

Maybe Kobe hears that stuff so much about his game that he is such a poor loser that he has to project that on to other people.

All of what he said could be and has been said about him time and time again.

I really can't stand Kobe, and I love that Gilbert did that against him.

 

Interesting.. anyone can get a link to this NBA TV stuff somewhere, sometime, somehow?

 

The Bulls can play some serious D. If they can avoid some of their offensive lapses, they can win the East. They remind me of the Detroit Pistons right before the Rasheed Wallace trade. If Deng (who was marvelous tonight) & Nocioni continue to develop and if Ben Gordon keeps it going, they are the favorite in the East IMO. On the other hand, this hot streak is nice but it won't last. They are soooo young. Their nucleus of Deng/Nocioni/Gordon/Hinrich plus their two rookies and high draft pick in 2007 sets them in a great position going forward.

On Kobe: I'm glad he said it. It was great watching Gilbert take a bow to the LA fans. What a show! I hope he does it again on Feb 3rd. It's great so many people on the forum notice and are talking about him so much this season.

 

I have ZERO repect for Kobe. Words cannot express how much I hope the next time he sticks that stupid long tongue of his out; that he accidently bites it off!

 

Kobe is a dick, plain and simple.

 

Those were terrible shots, Kobe was right.
But that doesnt mean he never took terrible shots.
