I don’t think the Rockets can get away with manhandling the face of the Association. How many other Black dudes have gotten away with stealing the booty of a young tender… White? Exactly, KOBE is more connected than TIM DONAGHY was. At the end of the day you still have to hit the shots and KOBE shot better than 50% from the field.
The series started pretty chippy from the gate and I think Houston is lucky that TRACY McGRADY isn’t on the floor for them. McGRADY is too tender for the rough stuff that we will see as this series continues. I hope he retires already and just opens up his flower selling business in Florida. The Association is too hardbody for that dude.
Some people still sleep on KOBE’s toughness even though this guy has a decade in this league and a shitload of post-season wins. True, he doesn’t have a post-SHAQ ‘chip, but you know that shit is coming. If I could get in RON ARTEST’s ear I would tell him to fall back on trying to intimidate these Lakers, especially KOBE. These dudes ain’t neva skurred.
Remember that chin check CHRIS CHILDS served on KOBE? Where do you think CHILDS is now? He’s living in a homeless shelter as an alcoholic. KOBE BRYANT visits him during the off-season to urinate on him. I wouldn’t fux with KOBE if I was RON. Queensbridge swagger be damned, KOBE is from Philadelphia. That shit is more hardbody than Camden.
