Hey Kobe... CAN YOU PASS THE BALL??? 

Post#1 » by Peanut » Sat Aug 16, 2008 6:45 pm

Holy ****! I've never seen a bigger ballhog in my **** life!

The guy took more 3s than the leading scorer for the past 2 years (Carmelo), took shots. He took 9 more shots than Lebron, despite playing 15 less minutes. To top it off, he only has 7 **** assist on a team loaded with talent.

I see why everyone hate the guy. I can't count how many times Carmelo have been wide opened, but didn't get the ball because of this chucker. Its understandable when a guy is a shotnut in the NBA (usually they have to be) but to chuck on a loaded ass team like this, is pathetic.

I'm also in favor of him getting less time, due to Wade playing 10x better defense than him.

why are you bringing up Carmelo when complaining Kobe doesn't pass enough? After 4 games, Carmelo doesn't have an assist yet.

I see him passing the ball. Sometimes he's wide open, drives in the passes out when I think he should have shot the ball. Kobe isn't hogging the ball in the Olympics. Only gripe is he is having a subpar shooting overall.

Carmelo is not a playmaker on this team. Carmelo has been used as a catch and shoot player. Carmelo is playing the pf position. So why are you bringing Carmelo assist up? Notice how the bigs (Bosh/Melo/Dwight/) have 0-1 assist? The guards/Lebron mostly have the ball. Everyone is creating for others, excluding Kobe.

I've actually seen him over-passing a lot, sometimes getting hockey assists, sometimes they would result in turnovers. I haven't seen too much of any game, but I'd actually like to see him shooting more.

...Dude put down the pipe. I'm cool with Kobe hating since it gives real NBA fans something to laugh at, but come on.

If he is, you wouldn't be able to tell from the Olympics. Btw, we're talking about Olympics, not the NBA game.

If you have the ball that much, why shouldn't he setup others? He also leads the team in turnovers, so what does that say?

Haa .... this is odd.
Ya I agree, we need to bench Kobe, actually send him back to the states... :lol:
Did we win?
Did coach K get upset for Kobe's selfishness?
If the answer to these questions are NO, then I think were doing just fine no matter who scores and who passes and who gets the most P.T.

I'm just questioning your bringing up Carmelo when Carmelo doesn't turn down a chance to shoot.

Kobe 50 shots, 9 assists, 9 turnovers which isn't that good
Carmelo 23 shots, 0 assists, 4 turnovers

we just beat the "favorite" to beat us by almost 40 points..we're winning..who the **** cares about anything else? ****, not only winning, but completely dominating the competition..if Kobe is "hogging" the ball, then let him keep doing it if we keep winning by 40..
