Bryant played just nine minutes in Game 2, which the Lakers went on to win by seven, but as Rose says, he missed Game 3, which Indiana won 100-91 to get back into the series at 2-1.
"Now, if it was up to me? If it was up to me? He should've just missed the whole series," Rose says. "I would've had a championship ring, and it'd be no harm, no foul.
"Did you purposely put your foot underneath him when he landed?" Jacoby asks. "Don't lie to me. Jalen, don't lie to the people."
"... I think I did it on purpose," Rose says.
"You think you did it on purpose? You won't even cop to it?" Jacoby responds. "You won't even say, 'Yes, I did it.' 'I think?'"
"... I can't say that it was an accident," Rose replies.

Re: Jalen Rose admits to purposely hurting KB 2000 nba final
I like Jalen Rose and I'm sure he did all he could (anything he can do without getting caught) to try to win, but this is off-topic, this is just another proof that the lakers needed Kobe in their championship runs. Even in 2000. Kobe was totally instrumental and the three rings are as much as his as it is for Shaq, maybe more so his in 2002.
Kobe Bryant forever
GO LAKERS

I've heard it through the grapevine..NBA gods have already designated Los Angeles LAKERS as NBA Champions in near future. The destiny is real. TRUST ME.

Re: Jalen Rose admits to purposely hurting KB 2000 nba final
No respect for the game. I get pissed when I'm playing against clumsy guys that injure me playing pick up ball. If i knew a guy intentionally injured me in a league game or a championship game I'd come after them. I got no respect for Jalen Rose now.

exactly. thats why it really bothers me that there seems to be this overlying thought that he had no say in any of the titles from 2000-2002

i seriously doubt anyone with the brain actually argues that kobe wasn't needed or that he had no say.

Re: Jalen Rose admits to purposely hurting KB 2000 nba final
I don't thinks that's what the GB haters club argue, they claim any superstar could have replaced Kobe in those 3 peat series and still win, Tmac, Iverson, etc. Shaq on the other hand was not replaceable they claim.dockingsched wrote:i seriously doubt anyone with the brain actually argues that kobe wasn't needed or that he had no say.

Re: Jalen Rose admits to purposely hurting KB 2000 nba final
I listened to this Jalen Rose podcast the other day and tripped out. LOL now it makes sense why Kobe dropped 81 on him when he was with the Raptors

Just not Penny, Eddie Jones, Nash, LeBron or the big 4. Shaq lost with all those other guys. Shaq would have lost with Wade too if Shaq didn't take a back seat and the Heat didn't steal Zo, Payton, WhiteChoc and Walker.
I just don't get why in June of 2004 Shaq wasn't ready to give up alpha male status but in October of 2005 he was. Shaq would have got a lot more than 1 more ring w/ Kobe if he did.
Lakers are 22-3 in OT last 6 seasons:Kobe best OT closer!

This is something a great defender would never do.

You got to know there are tons of kobehaters out there who try to invalidate Kobe's first set of rings. Dont tell me you dont know!
