Damn it, thought this would stay on GB

[Desiderium]

Saw this, he's a fool.
The only point I agreed with him was that Kobe should take a paycut so we can get him more help in the offseason. he's already making millions with Nike anyways.

[AcecardZ]

Nelly who?

[KingLakers]

The only thing I agreed with Nelly in that argument is that Kobe maybe difficult to play with and thats it. He said why has nobody come to LA to play with Kobe easy answer the Lakers have been capped out since 96 when they signed Shaq. He also said why hasn't Kobe taken a pay cut or renegotiated his contract another easy answer NBA contract aren't renegotiated this isnt' the NFL. He completely dodged Stephen A's question about whether Shaq could have won those 3 rings without Kobe. Overall Nelly exposed himself as a Kobe hater especially at the end there when it all came spilling out of his mouth. Also he said player that play with Kobe their numbers go down obviously any player even a very good player their numbers will go down playing alongside guys like Kobe or Lebron or Durant. Has bosh had a career yr yet in Miami.

Rap Game's Smush Parker. I'm shocked they let him on tv again.

That had to be all Stephen A Smith here. I dont see any other reason why Nelly would be on that show talking sports

[Kilroy]

You got Ice Cube calling you a Coward and Nelly defending you...

How does that make you feel?

[EArl]

It's getting hot in here.

like i'd pay to see Cube get in the ring with Nelly. I'm not even mad at nelly, but I'd love to see it.

A number of players have had career years playing with Kobe and gotten fat contracts as a result, the majority of which haven't done much without the Lakers, Kobe, and their mutual drive to win.

Pau's scoring went down a little, but his rebounding and most importantly FG% went up, as did Lamar's and they went to 3 finals and won 2 championships as a result.

Nobody wins championships without making everyone around them better, especially not 2 or 3 in a row. So unless he makes everyone around him better and play as a team, then he must be the most dominant player ever...

Many players have become close friends with Kobe and have said they wanted to play with him and for LA, Odom, Caron, TMac, Mello, Young, CP3, etc. Nash came here instead of going home to Toronto or for more money in NY, and lots of past players are almost begging to return. Even Shaq has been saying most of the feud was manufactured and it was more his relationship with Buss and the financials that made him leave.

Nelly is an idiot.

Dwight is just a catered too little boy still.

Nothing to see here.

A couple of points...I don't agree with everything he said but I can understand where he's coming from.

Kobe def should take a pay cut next year. No question.


Kobe has to cut down on shooting so he can pass the torch correctly.

[Kilroy]

Kobe will definitely not get paid next season what he's getting paid this season... But people won't be happy unless he takes the Vet Min...

Kobe should shoot first until someone else on the team can consistently score more effectively than him...
(That definitely wasn't Howard.)

[BEazy]

That monster has won LA 5 rings in his career. I really hope Kobe is hearing all the hate. Would loooove to see the faces of these haters when he does get #6.

Let them hate, they will all see the wrath of the Black Mamba. I mean you got so much talent on the bench along with Ray Allen for the Heat and they barely won against the Spurs. 2009-2010 we had a bench consisting of Dj Mbenga, Sun Yue, Shannon Brown, Ammo, Josh Powell, Luke Walton, Vujacic, Farmar...and look at where all of these guys are now...

I just don't get the hate on him...

[Michael Lucky]

who cares what some random rapper thinks? also Lee, your obsession over people bashing kobe and your need to respond every single time is too much. Just enjoy kobe while he's playing for us and keeps wowing us. You don't need to defend him at every turn.

I agree... I can get easily baited into these debates lol

[Wavy Q]

Cmon nelly you made Ride With Me and Grillz, why you gotta say some mark ass ****

[EArl]

A lot of trolling is going on in the GB with this topic.

[TyCobb]
