No one has his heart No one has his determination No one has his moves No one looks as good as him Now all we have are a bunch of overathletic gorillas with nasty mugs . Except for Durant but he's too humble to be cool. Come back stronger than ever Kobe. Wish pau wasn't so lame, cuz we all know the Lakers aren't getting anything decent for him now. Totally ruined my night that some hillbilly team knocked him out because his teammates don't care. Through with this league.
You might want to stop following bball because Kobe is not getting any younger. Unless he gets help this might be the norm in the future.
Shotjacker gone for 2nd year in a row Selfish player only cares about himself on the court, no assists
I hope all Kobe-only fans follow the same path as the OP. The forum WAS in dire need of trash clean-up anyway.
didnt know Ronny was a Kobe nuthugger, unless this is part of his shtick too. But yes.. I did feel bad for Kobe. I don't like him as a person or even as a player, but I do appreciate his passion and desire to win. It's sad that Kobe will probably never compete for a championship again and begin his twilight years...
If you're such a fan of team ball, go to the Y and watch the Asian court. Or watch college basketball, the stuff of amateurs. Go hang out with Morey and talk about building a great chemistry team that will get you the 9th seed. Then blow each other. These are the pro league's, where champions are made and individual talent trumps x's and o's. Battier is doing a great jump of proving that you can study the game and take all the vitamins you want, but you'll still suck if you don't have game. It's not him we come to see. It's not guys like him who can inspire beyond the physical realm. Guys like Kobe, MJ, Mitch Richmond, Magic, Tim Hardaway, Reggie Miller, Hakeem, absolute vixens. They weren't strategically bred and pampered like the rest of these softies. They wanted it so badly, you could taste the blood, sweat and tears at the end of each game. And their combination of grace, fluidity and footwork proved they were artists. Not just athletes. Now all you have is athleticism, and the wily foxes like Kobe are left to bleed to death with ostriches like Gasol and Bynum, who is an absolute scrub. Chris Paul should be in LA with Kobe. Dwight should be there with him. The NBA can't let the greatness go to waste.
With the exit of the Lakers, we got rid of a bunch of gorrillas/thugs, namely Bynum, Artest & Kobe. You hit the nail on the head when you said a TEAM beat the Lakers. This is a TEAM sport. 1 superstar can't carry a team to the championship anymore. You need players that can play well together to win a championship. Congrads, I hope more superstar fans would be "through with this league"!
