something like kobe text messaged him about what he said yesterday and barkley started making fun of him for not calling him instead of text messaging?
You got it all wrong. He was talking about Kobe having a problem with some of the things Barkley said about him. He qualified his statements and made it clear that he didn't have an agenda, he likes Kobe, considers Kobe the greatest player on the planet, but he still feels that Kobe was trying to make the point he isn't selfish in game 7 and that it was to the detriment of his team. The part about him not calling him wasn't making fun of him. He said he welcomed any player or coach to call him if they want to discuss what he says, and he was glad Kobe was man enough to contact him about it personally. He commended Kobe for it. He didn't make fun of him. Must have been really confusing coming in late somehow.
thanks for the details and yeah i was trying to write this paper wasnt really listening all the way. the kobe hater inside of me wanted it to be negative i guess
did kobe call him at all or was it strictly text messaging? can kobe be man enoug to talk face to face to chuck? i mean text messaging!??
I was gonna write that was bush league by barkley, but barkley is a "journalist" now so I guess players have to watch what they say to him.
Here's how the Text exchange went: Kobe: U mad @ me? Charles: is this? Kobe: Black Mamba Charles: mad? Kobe: U called me selfish Charles: You quit on your team Kobe: No I didn't! Charles: I'm @ casino! Kobe: But u said i'm selfish on TV Charles: So? Kobe: Now I gotta go buy more bling 4 Vanessa Charles: Dude get a life Kobe: Why dont you like me? Charles: quit txting me and go home to your 2 kids Kobe: Please, Chuck, I'm really not selfish Charles: Damn that's another 10 cents.
LMAO! Good one. I guess the most surprising aspect of this whole thing is that Barkley actually KNOWS how to text message! You know, for a guy who admits to not owning/using a computer and all...
