Kobe Bryant's has no class

[luhbron]

Let me start off by saying how much I have enjoyed Kobe over the years. Honestly, I used to hate LAL because of how much love the NBA gives them for EVERYTHING and that lead me to become a Kobe hater for years. About 4 years ago he just started doing the most insane stuff though (including 82 pts) and that hatred turned to respect. I have had nothing but utter respect and borderline love for Kobe over these past few years.

Today, I hate him again.

Did you see him from the start of the game, jawing in Battiers face? Shaking his head like he is God's gift to basketball? Yelling '' he can't hold me!'' to Dough Collins? Staring into the stands on an And-1 play as if he is the only player to have ever done it? Elbowing Artest and then pretending he didn't do anything? This player has absolutely no class and I guess that is why he hasn't had an image like Jordan or LeBron. Positive images are reserved for non-douchebags.

I seriously never thought I could have so much respect for a player one day, and so much disrespect the next. I will never stick up for this guy again. Does anyone share these feeling?

[N1ckyPoo]

To me it doesn't matter how much hype the NBA gives him. He's still the same guy who sodemized a young girl working in room service. It was "allegedly" rape, some egomaniac cheating on his wife and family at the least. Thats the face I see behind that prick smirk of his on the NBA CARES commercial. No class. No respect. A guy who blasts his own teammates(Bynum incident). A guy who throws his guys under the bus (ratting on Shaq to get the heat off of him). The guy is beyond fake. We can all see him for who he is on the court. How he handles himself says it all.

But there is good news. Any elbow or strike landing above the shoulders is an automatic suspension. JA Adande's article on espn said it too. The letter of the law says the douche is to be suspended. And no doubt Fisher should be suspended as well. But we'll see how much the NBA follows their own rules.

Our team has heart, has character, and are genuinely nice and funny guys.Yaos innocence and simple humor is beyond heart warming. We have a bench full of young hungry kids with genuine smiles on their faces. Even Ron has an honesty to him that can't be denied. We have humanitarians on our team. I'd lose with our guys any day and every day before I'd ever think of rooting for a no class talent like Kobe Bryant.

Bring on game 3.

p.s. Ron decking Kobe would be just as satisfying as winning a championship this year. No doubt.

this is a interesting series

I thought this is just another hate kobe spitting thread, but hell no, great thread.

Kobe was trying to disable battier, SOB

Sorry N1ckyPoo if you're one to say NO to pussy.

Next luhbron, You can't **** expect to grind your elbow and nothing to happen. Try playing basketball at the gym then get roughed up behind the head like Artest was doing to Kobe then tell me how you feel.

You know if was the exact opposite, you guys will be saying the same **** as us Laker fans. Next time don't push someone who's going to push back.

look upstairs duche and get out of this board

Sorry luxury. The rules are the rules. Either the rapist is out for game three or your team is offically being protected by the league. Damn that would be shocking wouldn't it...both dirty players being called out for delivering dirty cheap shots. A desperate team. Just imagine if the play where Yao's arm was pinned on his side wasn't whistled a foul against him, taking him out of the game....b/c he was being fouled. Or when Ron had the same thing happen to him and lost the ball out of bounce, no call/lakers ball....every ref staring at each other for a quiet 5 secs trying to figure out how they were going to justify the no call. Or if Ron would have got his freethrows and not been thrown out unfairly. Or Landry's put back was counted. Or his put backs whistled when he was being hammered. Your team reaks of desperation. We've proven we can beat yall at home in the playoffs. Be physical without cheating. And you guys are backed into a corner. Scared. Desperate. And relying on the refs. Now the rules favor us. Pussy is when you hit a guy in the throat and your not man enough to look him in the eye when he confronts you. Pussy is when your running your mouth, and someone steps to you and you walk away smiling like my little sister who got away with something. No. I can't say i like the bunch of pussies you got on your team at all. Odom gets raped on the block by Scola...how is that even possible? Oh thats right. Pussy.

Kobe is just low-class, when the defense on him tightens up he loses his cool and resort to physical revenge, he has no decency, period.

Type your heart out more.

Lakers in 5. Nuff said.

Then please dont watch game 3, or you'd die of heart attack.

Who is Nuff? David stern said you could win game 1 and you lost, so f*ck Nuff

[luhbron]

Kobe Bryant has less class than Luxury....now that's saying something.

[T-Wack]

Maybe next year, troll.

They aren't winning two in a row in Houston. And yes, Kobe is a dirty little bitch, and a coward. He's proven that time and time again. The flailing arms after he shoots, the elbows, and the trash talk. You can tell Battier, and the articles on Battier shutting him down really piss him off, since he doesn't usually taunt so much. We're in his head.

[TMU]

So that's what they mean by the 'mamba strike': throwing elbows and kneeing your opponents.

nice post man.

Absolutely... not only smiling like he got away with stealing the cookie, but waiting on mommy to slap the hand away of anyone challenging his little royal ass... classic pussy...Kobe is having nightmares of table legs in his heart.

[CHIMOCHI]

People like to say he's changed. But to me he still hasn't. you look at a player like BRANDON ROY, and he doesn't need to do all that. Kobe has no class especially against a player like BATTIER. One of the most classiest guys in the league.

[Baller 24]

I agree, you don't see other guys doing the things he does, I know trash talk is part of his game, but only to an extent, he was acting like a child out there, and once Artest left the court he started going all out, oh well, we'll see if he's doing that **** here in Houston. I know one fact though: He's got a Vagina, he's fake, and he has frequent Mood-Swings.

[dookieguy]

Yeah, I understand he's a great player and everything, but com'n, you gotta be respectable both on and off the court. Maybe that's what Artest meant about BROY>ALL.
