It's all the usual suspects, every Kobe related thread the same people. |

This was the first thread title in a good while that made me (actually) LOL. A guffaw is what I wanna call it.
Kobe isn't an exposed, pulsating dental nerve ready to pour lemon juice on, mang. He's 36 years old. He keeps telling us that for a reason... Among other things, it means he's mellow enough at this point in his life that the bigger picture is what motivates him. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

Pretty much this. Kobe has said so himself that he understands he has to evolve his game to fit the circumstances. I believe he will. It's part of every great's game (aging, etc.).
Living here in NY region, there are legions of Yankees and in particular Jeter fans. They did not expect Jeter to post near-prime numbers and have graciously and happily watched Jeter just play. I think we can do the same for Kobe and if he surpasses our expectations, that's even better. (Yankees and current Lakers team are not in any serious championship contention this season).
I've come to accept the possibility that Kobe can play like a mortal, and in doing so, can accept that reality (if it happens) and STILL enjoy Kobe (even if he puts up less than his normal MVP level stats). Some still expect Kobe to play like he was in his prime (or even 2012), and leave little room to simply enjoy Kobe if he fails to meet that expectation. I think that's the difference here.
Kobe will drive himself, and sure external stuff help add to the fuel, but make no mistake, the fiery drive is all him. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

1) ESPN leaves Kobe out of the top 10 Shooting Guards.
Agree.
2) Soccer Coach Jurgen's saying Kobe contract undeserved: "This always happens in America.Kobe Bryant, for example -- why does he get a two-year contract extension for $50 million? Because of what he is going to do in the next two years for the Lakers? Of course not. Of course not. He gets it because of what he has done before. It makes no sense. Why do you pay for what has already happened?"
Agree.
2) NBA 2K15 Will rank Kobe only at an 89...not in the 90s like old man role player(not even an All-Star) Duncan, Durant, or Lebron.
Agree with comparison to Duncan. Of course he shouldn't be in the same tier of rankings as Durant or Lebron (the two best players in the NBA today, which Kobe is NOT today.)
3) Klay Thompson's people say he is the best shooting guard(even better than Kobe).
Agree.
4) Lebron leaves Kobe out of his Mt. Rushmore, does not join Lakers in free agency.
Disagree. Is this really a slight...
5) Bosh, Wade, and Carmelo does not join Lakers and Kobe in free agency.
Disagree. See above.
5) NBA GM(likely Dan Gilbert): "Kobe has zero trade value."
Agree in part. Dan Gilbert is not an NBA GM.
6) Steve Nash: Kobe is a "a**hole*
Disagree. Are you reaching to try and fill "10" for your list?
7) Dwight Howard leaves the Lakers to join Harden.
Agree in part.
8) Pau Gasol leaves for the Bulls to Join Derrick Rose.
Agree in part.
9) Kevin Durant says Allen Iverson is the best pound for pound player of all time(not Kobe who is).
Disagree. AI is 5'11''. He is the best P4P player if such a thing existed in the NBA. P4P is not even used as a basketball compliment. I feel like you're being very sensitive.
10) Dwyane Wade says Kobe is "Second best all time."
Disagree. That's not fuel, it's a diss against Lebron after he left Miami. _________________ ... I don't think that's Jack in those pictures ... |

"list" sounds too Lebron _________________ "Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money & position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold & contain life, but the quality of life doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it." |

Kobe needs wheels not fuel. Kobe has so much fuel it's starting to slow him down. |
