Kobe: "I'm where everybody wants to get to. I just happen to be still playing"

With a career like the one he's had, he's earned his right to say things like that. I don't even mind.

 

The man has a right to be arrogant imo. I respect him because of his willingness to play through some bad injuries and still be dominant. I don't particularly like Kobe, but I respect his game.

 

lol man this guy's gotta lay off the cocky pills...

Sure he's had a great career, but in today's world you just also happen to need to be a good human being to be appreciated

 

i dont always post in Kobe threads but when i do its to show respect. Best of this Generation hes allowed to say that stuff. IIRC MJ used to say arrogant stuff like this too; its jus part of their persona and what sets them apart from the rest.

 

Is that you?

 

His work ethic is great and all and I respect his game but this is just ridic.

He didn't do squat in between when Shaq left and Gasol (in his prime) came. Also, they did have the highest payroll in their last 2 championship runs.

 

He did some amazing scoring, more amazing than any AI/Tmac scoring feats. Plus he had that infamous lineup of Kwame/ Walton/ Parker as his starting mates.

Those were wasted years of his prime, but he ain't complaining

 

Actually, he was complaining. A lot.

 

Actually they were going to trade Kobe before Pau fell in their hands, to CHI, but the bulls wouldn't include Deng...and there's am old post claiming at the time, les thought about it, but assumed TMAC would stay healthy, and most fans at the time 2005-2006 did not want Kobe...

 

An old thread-edit I ant reedit my posts on iPad sorry

 

Well, the Chandler question is stupid and an esay one for him to catch.
Does he really make his teammates better? Shaq of unstoppable, Gasol at his prime, well he had a lot of help for sure.

 

If you thought MJ's Hall of Fame speech was bad...wait til ya hear Kobe's. Those 2 are cut from the same cloth. The positive and negative.

 

everybody wants to be a rapist who just happens to still be playing because he was able to pay his way out of jailtime?

 

That's hardly talking ****. The writer needs to learn about real sht talking, like in-game stuff.

 

Some of you softies are so sheltered you're actually offended by these statements. It ain't nothin but the truth and Kobe spits it like fire. Only issue with this article is someone using Tyson Chandler and post moves in the same sentence - athletes shouldnt be the only ones tested for bath salts.




Yeah, that's a $300,000 watch.

 

^You are so ghey for Kobe.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

Not many people who aren't dictators can pull this off, but Kobe can.







What more do I need to say.

 

is that genuine mamba skin?

 

Kobe is goat. MJ is second.
