Well, I'm perfectly happy if Kobe takes 35 shots a game and never feeds it to those two big guys who could annihilate the Thunder if they had the chance.
It is ok to say those words if you are able to back it up. Kobe has the drive to go with the skills to back it up.
He definetely whines a lot more than his fellow superstars (Lebron, Wade, Durant). He gets a lot of calls his way already, and he needs to stop arguing when the refs let the players play physical. This is also why i like Durant. The guys plays hard, never flops to try to get a call, and is credible because he only complains/argues about a non-call if he actually does get fouled.
well, in his defense.. he does have the rings, experience, and has carried his team to wins time and time again. i trust him not to quit. he will definitely go down swinging and kicking if they lose. unlike he whose name shall not be uttered.
One thing about TMac... he didn't make half the smug facial expressions or 'look-at-me' poses that Kobe makes in a game. Kobe's shines on a good team; that's the difference. Look where Dwayne Wade and Kevin Durant's teams are getting them right now. Yes, basketball is a team game. Sorry Kobe fans.
You need to watch Tim Duncan more. No superstar whines and b*tches more than Timmer! Kobe is on his level and watch as LBJ gets there as well.
lol. Well, to be honest I dont think they won becaause of him soley. Its a love hate thing with Kobe. If he takes too many shots, his teamates are obviously unhappy, but you know he's going to trun it on in the 4th. But do they have to rely on that? I think that's what worried the team. And unlike T-Mac, he can say Its On Me everyday because he has the hardware.
