Kobe: "im going to demolish fisher"

[sanity]

Well, its not that hard to demolish Fisher, he sucks

[PersianCeltic]

Wow Kobe is going to play hard against his old teammate? Unheard of! Groundbreaking news! Never been done before in the NBA ever!

“Look, we don’t get five championships by being sympathetic towards each other and kissing each other's a-- during the game,” Bryant said Wednesday when asked about the Lakers’ upcoming game against the Thunder next week. “I’m going to demolish him. He understands that. If he switches off on me in the post, there’s going to be problems. I’m sure he’ll put an elbow right in my back, and that’s why we love each other.”


im going to miss kobe when hes gone, hes my second fav player after dirk. but he seems to be the last of these players that have the "cut throat, kill all attitude," bird had it, MJ certainly had it.

God he just tries so hard...

i dont see anything wrong with this attitude? whats so bad about it?

He's saying it comes off phony as hell, and it does.

Even worse, his game can't back up his calculated killer talk.

It's just him being a phony. It isn't natural. Kobe isn't some tough guy. It's like his jaw-face...it's completely fake. He is trying to give himself some image that doesn't fit him.

How is it completely fake? What are you basing this on? Its fake that he has a killer mentality? Its fake that he will play hard against Fisher? Jordan was a tough guy? Bird was? Why? You seem to know a lot about Kobe's personality, What image fits him if not of a cold blooded basketball assassin?

[Kobe2ndFiddle]

you just should watch ballet and not basketball ... good grief.

[bballmaniac27]

Kobe's always been a competitor on the court. It has nothing to do with him wanting to be a "tough guy". Not sure why people think this is him being phony.

lol wut? Kobe's game can't back up his killer talk?

Bulls fans are mad. Wonder why?

[youngthegiant]

i thought father time already did that?

[Rerisen]

His personality has become like a caricature. Like he has this created alter ego, the 'black mamba' and when he says stuff like this is he is talking as that character. He wasn't like this, to this degree, 5-7 years ago, always looking for a funny 'I'm such a competitor' soundbyte.

Maybe he is overcompensating for the slippage in his game.

Not to say it isn't somewhat entertaining but doesn't seem genuine.

Who's mad? Most Bulls fans (myself included) like Kobe.

lol. Kobe's always been like this. Only difference is he just doesn't give a **** as much now. If anything, he was more phony when he was younger.

[carlquincy]

Who's mad? Most Bulls fans (myself included) like Kobe.

See the following.

God he just tries so hard...

And after their little one on one session of being matched up, the game will revert back to Fisher's team demolishing Kobe.

He's saying it comes off phony as hell, and it does.

Even worse, his game can't back up his calculated killer talk.

And the best thing? Its just a friendly banter with Fisher. Pretty evident if you read the entire quote.

[Kobe2ndFiddle]

Kobe's game as of this season and his killer trash talk pretty much match up very well.

the dude is a straight up 1 on 1 player, perhaps the GOAT 1 on 1 athlete.

[Effigy]

If he switches off on me in the post, there’s going to be problems. I’m sure he’ll put an elbow right in my back, and that’s why we love each other.”

LOL. Nice.

[ComboGuardCity]

Well, Rose did say he wants superstar calls...pretty much calling himself a superstar. Please Rose's is just as much an act. He might just have aspergers (no offense intended to anyone who has it).

[Rerisen]

Rose IS a humble guy, but yes he does play to it as well I think.

Most NBA players aren't showing you their true selves, so it can be interesting to see how they want to portray themselves at times.

lol seems like its Bulls fans trying too hard in this thread.. I dont get it
