[Heads up] Kobe to join Dan Patrick at top of next hour

This whole thing just makes me hate Kobe even more. It just confirms what kind of guy he is. NO WAY I will ever cheer for him, even if he is on my team!

 

Kobe is just frustrated he's not going anywhere. No trade.

If anything the Lakers will actually try to build a better team instead of the joke of a team he is on.

 

Well, he was plastered all over your TV tonight. Duncan is a huge whiner. The difference is Duncan is playing for a tight winning organization who has the recipe down.

I agree with you. This was totally scripted by Kobe and a brilliant move on his part. He has the clout to bring it down and he is using it. As much as I hate to admit it or say it, I gotta give him attaboys for this one. The dude wants to win. The money is very, very secondary to him. He wants hardware. And he is exercising every bit of his influence to make it happen. Jon Barry is on ESPN punking him for being selfish and he should have kept it in house, every player goes through this stuff, etc. etc. etc. There's one big difference between every player and Kobe. Kobe is an all-world player. He has a lot of power, and he's got enough sack to use it. Props to him.

 

What an attention w****!

Seriously, this is why Kobe will never become MJ. Jordan would have never done something as stupid as this.

 

That guy is Vic "The Brick" Jacobs, a personality notorious for being insane around here. He basically just spouts off about "the collective will" and "positive energy" after every Lakers loss and is convinced they can win a championship if Laker fans would just believe in it.

 

That's r****ded its managements responsibility to ensure you have adequate talent, especially after you sign a 7 year contract under the promise that you will be surrounded by complementary players in order to make a run at the playoffs. Trades for BD and Boozer were turned down under bull**** excuses by kupchak.

 

When they get to have Kobe talk to them, its like the junior high chess team having Jessica Alba over for a guest appearance.

During the Kobe rape trials, they hardly changed their tune at ALL to Kobe, same stuff. Hoping he can be strong and make it through the tribulations and hardships and lead the team to the promised land, and....
And they were just flat out pathetic acting after Derek Fisher hit that last second against the Spurs (rightfully so i guess)

All led by that schmuck

 

All GMs promised their franchise players this what do you expect? Trades in real world is not the same those you play in the nba live or nba 2k7 etc. You think Jazz will trade Boozer for some scrubs from the Lakers? The nets will trade Kidd just for Odom and not Bynum?

All Kobe wankers said he wanna win that's why he is forcing the lakers' organisation. That's bullsh*t. Kobe is only thinkin about himself as he wanna prove to the world that he can win without Shaq and that he is the same or better than MJ.

Too bad Kobe, if you want others to respect you please learn to respect others first! At least respect your own organization!

 

He does this stuff every single day man, don't be shocked. Just listen to the show more and you'll see the main host Steve Hartman clown him every once in awhile.

ex Laker Mychal Thompson works for the lakers so don't think he'll go off bashing him.

Vic on the other hand smokes weed and is always quoting some silly haiku or telling the team they need to see 300 for inspiration or some crap like that.

 

I think you're being more dramatic then Kobe.

It seems pretty simple to me. Kobe is frustrated by the personnel moves on the team, so he went public by saying he wanted to be traded. There's no law that states you have to keep quiet if you are unhappy.

Personally - I think it was a smart move - Kobe is the Lakers - and it forces management now to deal with the issues of building a better team, instead of just being content to make money selling Kobe Bryant's name.

Can't blame the guy. He played hard last year and did everything he could. He needs some better role-players.

It's too bad T-mac and Yao are too timid to speak out and demand the same thing from Les.

 

vic jacobs is one of the biggest kobe/laker nut huggers i have seen ever, the lakers could lose by 80 points and he will make something positive of it. he is really annoying to hear because he takes "homerism" to an extreme. Mychael Thompson is on the laker payroll as their color guy for radio so he cant really be critical of the lakers or for kobe because he is a big supportor of kobe as well. Finally steve hartman is probably the only guy who is critical of kobe (he was the one who asked kobe why didnt you go up to dr buss and say i want shaq to stay) but even he talks a big talk but shys away. he is more critical and says things during broadcasts but come interviews or anything he tosses up more softie questions as anyone else.

sad thing is despite all of that they're probably one of the better radio programs out here in la

 

That interview? Did you listen to the Stephen Smith podcast on ESPN.com? Smith kissed Kobe's ass so much his lips wound up stuck to both cheeks..

 

Reports as of Thursday morning per realgm wiretap, he wants to be traded again

Kobe needs to go in a corner a sit there for 3 years like Jack Bauer did in the chinese prison.
