So much for Kobe....the "team" player

[ARB729]

I would take Kobe as a leader and his 5 Finals appearances over KG, Pierce or Ray Allen anyday of the week. Those guys never, ever made the Finals as leader of their teams.

And I'll take being up 2-0.

really? cuz i would take any one of those three, as a leader, over kobe. admittedly he's a great player, but i wouldn't even want kobe on the c's. he is an mj copycat wanna be, an adulterer and, according to a woman in colorado, a rapist.

Really? You've been pretty satisified with the way the Celtics have played with Pierce as their leader before this season?



I couldve sworn that those 3 guys all had horrible records as leaders of their respective teams.

[ARB729]

And now those three players are kicking your one players ass.

really? where, besides a cheerleaders condo, has kobe been without shaq. i do know kg and pp have both been to the conference finals separately.

Listening to LA fans defend Kobe is kind of like listening to someone in an abusive relationship defend their attacker:

"He's not so bad, really. You guys don't know him like I do. He only hits me when he's drunk."

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. . if i didnt have the beatla sig, that would FOR SURE be there right now

[TMU]

Meh, can't blame Kobe for playing with a different team. Kobe's real teammates are behind bars in Colorado.

[Banks2Pierce]

I would much rather have Pierce on my team than Kobe. His inability to coexist with people is just disgusting.

I posted it there to show you guys how your "superstar" is a selfish, spoiled (Please Use More Appropriate Word) and the media needs to really stop comparing him to MJ. He will NEVER in this lifetime be Jordan.

Just a few of the infamous MJ quotes. Funny how winning a few championships can turn you into a great teammate.


"He can't do anything with the ball. Don't give it to him." - Michael yelling at Paxson who passed the ball to Perdue

"You ever hear of a guy, six-eleven maybe and two hundred sixty pounds, a guy big and fat like that and he can't get but two rebounds, if that many, running all over the damn court and he gets two rebounds? Big guy like that and he gets one rebound. Can't even stick his **** into people and get more than that...Big, fat, fat guy. One rebound in three games. Power forward. Maybe they should call it powerless forward." - Michael ripping Stacey King a new one

"He was scared in there and panicking. He just lost it when Stockton scored." - Michael on B.J. Armstrong's mental fragility

I'll let them stand up and take responsibility for themselves."

"He's scared. He's got no heart...Nobody told me that. If I had spoken up, he wouldn't have been here."

"It's a hell of a lot easier to make Earl Monroe look good than it is Brad Sellers."

"I hope there's a jumpshot in there." - Michael to Stacey King who was walking into the locker room with a box

"They don't need a ticket to watch you sitting on the bench. They can go to your house for that." - Michael to Charles Davis who was sorting through his tickets for his family and friends

"Give me the ******* ball." - Michael to Doug Collins who drew up a play for Dave Corzine

"I hate when I have to read that in the papers the next day, that I couldn't do something. It wasn't my fault."

"You're an idiot. You've screwed up every play we ever ran. You're too stupid to even remember the plays. We ought to get rid of you." - Michael to Horace Grant

"If you [pass the ball to Bill Cartwright], you'll never get the ball from me."

"Headache tonight, Scottie?" - Michael asks Scottie, while showing him his 2-for-16 line"

"If I were a general manager, we'd be a better team."

"Will Vanderbilt. He doesn't deserve to be named after a Big Ten school." - Michael on Will Perdue

"I'm sure everything will be fine if we win, but if we start losing, I'm shooting."

"I know what I would do if I were coach. I'd determine our strengths and weaknesses and utilize them. And it's pretty clear what our strength is."

"Your boy doesn't want to play. I'm tired of bailing his *** out." - Michael yelling at Jim Cleamons about Dennis Hopson

"He's causing me too many turnovers." - Michael on Cartwright's inability to catch

This is the first finals appearance Kobe has ever made as the LEADER of his team.

And before this year, hell even the first half of this year before the Gasol Gift, he was certainly an excellent leader of the Lakers, right?
