Kobe Bryant

[TheGameWinner]

I usually do not root for the lakers, but it is very hard not too. Before, I used to hate Kobe, I thought he was very arrogant, cocky, and he was dazed by all the media attention he is getting. Watching the post game interview, he said nothing to try to fire up the Magic. He was very respectful, and gave major props to courtney lee (a rookie).

Has he always been like this? Maybe it's because I never watched PG interviews...

Either-way, good luck to the lakers, I hope it isn't a sweep, I want an entertaining series, but I hope Kobe wins a ring as a number one

thanks for the respectable post, haters can hate all they want..but sometimes you gota give credit when its due. Any negativity will just discredit your credibility.

He seemed different in that interview

I remember him smiling in the 2004 series and he was happy last year. I wish he would have got all consumed and rattled like an obsessed attack dog the last 2 times around.

His focus is on a level that we have never seen. MJ and other greats could dominate while smiling... Kobe tried to do it that way but it didn't work... now it is all about FOCUS and DETERMINATION and being RELENTLESS. He is a soldier and he prepared for game one all week as a grump.

Its plain and simple maturity at this point.

Another classy poster. I saw that too. I think Kobe's just being honest with the media. I can see Lee has a lot of potential and I love how he plays on the court.

No doubt about it. He is unstoppable. But how can you stop something which is unstoppable? lol

A pinch of courtny lee a hint off Petrus and a dash of JJ reddic and you could probably a sprinkle of Hedo
