Tell me what that has to do with the price of tea in China? This has nothing to do with some non-MVP you people keep touting as the greatest, while excusing his actions on and off court. Bottom line is, without Shaq he hasn't done anything except chuck as many shots as he wants and start throwing elbows on players he know wont come after him.
Don't forget the white girl from Colorado. All I know is White people need to be careful around Kobe. Oh, and Kobe is Italian too.
I don't think Kobe is THAT dirty of a player (like a Bowen), but there's no question that he leans towards doing whatever he can get away with to improve his chances of winning. He's not as dirty as Malone or Stockton were, but the attitude is similar - he just hasn't been coached by Sloan. I'm very glad that the league is coming down against flop-type movements that hurt other players. Kobe should be held responsible for what his arms do while he is flopping like a European.
I think Manu is part Italian. I was surprised to learn of that too. Anyhow, visit some laker sites and places like realgm. See how the homers are oozing saying how innocent he is. Even the mods are homers. Front page reads the league is out to get him. It's pathetic. For the sake of being a human being, they will never admit that he ever does anything wrong.
There goes Kobe again hitting white guys http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2013863638
I tell you what, if the Lakers manage to miss the playoffs again (which is going to be tough to do), that will be 2 times in 3 years for them. Think Kobe's rep is going to take a hit? What about Phil Jackson's? Got Shaq?
I think Kobe's just trying to show the league that it is his natural motion. "See? I'm not stupid enough to elbow another white guy. It is just my 'natural' motion. I swear."
his surname is italian. also: https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ar.html Ethnic groups: white (mostly Spanish and Italian) 97% mestizo (mixed white and Amerindian ancestry), Amerindian, or other non-white groups 3%
Ginobili, Miller, Jaric, Korver... A quartet of true badasses there. I'd like to see Kobe try elbowing a guard like Jerry Stackhouse or even Nate Robinson.
People saying Kobe can't fight are idiots, sorry. The clips of Chils and Miller proves they cannot fight. I agree totally with the other guy that studies martial arts, Kobe is the dangerous one there. The person that is dangerous is 1. The crazy ahole that is violent and a psycho that of course is Kobe 2. The person that is cold and caluclated that of course is Kobe 3. The person that manipluates and plots that is Kobe 4. The person that can take a hit, take contact, and show no fear or no pain that is Kobe. 5. The person that is in reality physically and mentally stronger than the opponent that is also Kobe. Anyone saying that Kobe can't fight based on those clips or got owned there and talking about knowing how to fight shows they have never been in an assulat or an attack. There is a big difference between the two. I myself have constantly been called a wimp a wuss cant fight etc. I've gotten this and all that but let me tell you something I have been attacked, not fought with attacked (huge difference) 4 times in my life, once by twice by two people, once by 4 people, and once by one person from behind. The only person that walked away tihno injuries any time was me. And believe me these people were street brawlers, violent, out of control, killers, the types that should be locked up and the key thrown away, yet they failed to show one of the above (any of them traits) they made the mistake of attacking me, a person that feels no pain, and has a head and jaw made out of granite. The difference between me and Kobe is that I would never attack someone, I do not have the criminal mind set, but Kobe does. Not only is he dangerous, he's got the MO of someone who would kill at some point.
the debate continues still? many in latin america have ties to europe,My grandparents left spain after franco's victory in the civil war,they landed in El salvador, I was born in El salvador therefore I'm latin american and not "white" Manu is not any different,he considers himself latin american. "https://www.cia.gov/cia/publication...ok/geos/ar.html" thats why the CIA never gets anything right in our countries,and we've had to put an end to them All I'm asking for is to not put us in the same class as RYAN BOWEN And I don't think Kobe is a dirty player,just creative on creating contact,on and off the court.
Whatever. I'm from the hood and have been in and seen sh*tloads of fights. Dudes like Kobe always get their asses whupped in a real fight. Like I said, if he goes after Nate or Jerry, it's all over. Hell, he can't even f*ck with somebody like Caron Butler. He's your typical sheep in wolf's clothing; Assaults women, attacks guys he knows won't strike back, then when someone like Raja comes after him, turns into the biggest p*ssy in the world. Quoted again for hilarity.
