Since when does ESPN power rankings get under your skin, especially after you factor in all the mileage and the back to back seasons that were shortened by injury.
Absolutely NONE of these fuel Kobe, certainly not now.

Join me as "fuel." That's what the "rational" folks appear to be doing. With some we are reaching the "Saddam Hussein won with 100% of the popular vote" levels.

1) ESPN leaves Kobe out of the top 10 Shooting Guards.
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?"
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.
3) Klay Thompson's people say he is the best shooting guard(even better than Kobe).
4) Lebron leaves Kobe out of his Mt. Rushmore, does not join Lakers in free agency.
5) Bosh, Wade, and Carmelo does not join Lakers and Kobe in free agency.
5) NBA GM(likely Dan Gilbert): "Kobe has zero trade value."
6) Steve Nash: Kobe is a "a**hole*
7) Dwight Howard leaves the Lakers to join Harden.
8) Pau Gasol leaves for the Bulls to Join Derrick Rose.
9) Kevin Durant says Allen Iverson is the best pound for pound player of all time(not Kobe who is).
10) Dwyane Wade says Kobe is "Second best all time." |
Also, when did Dan Gilbert get demoted to Cavaliers GM??? |

The best thing on the list is Gasol leaves Kobe to join Rose, good riddance Gasol.

Couldn't care less about ESPN rankings, lol. I just think it's the only thing on this list that might be considered insulting when you factor in how thin the position is. |

If Kobe needs extra motivation (which he doesn't), why doesn't he invest some insults/criticisms? Most of the ones the OP listed aren't insults or criticisms.

Here we go again lol... if Kobe needs these to fuel him to come back with a vengeance this season then he is not the KOBE we know. And as for # 10, that is TRUE. MJ is GOAT!!!! Wade didn't mean LBJ was the 1st best of all time.. Goodness.. give it a rest. Kobe is no longer the 18, 20 year old player anymore. It's gonna get worst from here on. As Laker fans we want to hold on to the Kobe we know, but sorry he is not that person anymore. even Kobe has said he is not the player he once was.
Lets enjoy the best of what he has left, instead of worrying about who is judging him wrong

| It's preposterous to suggest Kobe would be making Nash and Wade - and others - "eat crow" for their (misinterpreted) comments by producing another great season. Hypersensitivity, defined. |

Threads like this really deserve their own lounge. Are the Lakers even an afterthought to Jeggs?

No KBH, that's still worse. |

Nash is kidding and you're upset because Wade didn't call Kobe the best of all time? |

I'm surprised that a Kobe supporter like Jeggs would suggest that Kobe's motivation is so low, that he needs posts from an internet fan site to fuel him. That saddens me.
I think Kobe has his own motivations and everything else is just noise. |

Sometimes, defending Lakers fans gets old especially when they just take it to another level.
But this thread is the second worst. The worst IMO, was a poll wondering if Kobe and Randle should kiss each other before every game.
You won't believe who the author of that poll was. |

I love Kobe he's my favorite sports athlete ever but all you talk about is Kobe 24/7 on here. I mean you barely talk about anything not Kobe related including the Lakers. |
