    “We understand that when we don’t play together, when we don’t bring 100 percent effort, we’re going to have tough nights. We might win at the end of the night anyways, because of the quality of the players. But that doesn’t mean we did the very best that we could.” -Paul Gasol.

    Jellybean Jr is a beast. I hope he plays @ least another 10 years.

    I’ve said it a few times this season, right here on DP.com…

    LakersFTMFW!

    Y’all been checking out the boy Shannon “no relation to Chris” Brown lately?

    Pau pulled down a 20-22 last night. Artest is fitting in nicely, the dime game is getting sicker every game. Fishnets, though old, is the pivotal role player. Lamar is Lamar, though.

    Purple & gold, all say long…

    We have one rule in my house. Never diss Kobe. He is the best player in the history of the NBA.

    @ovid

    Believe there’s hundreds of thousands of kids right now, worldwide, copying everything this dude does. They call Shawn Marion “the matrix”? Nah, that’s Kobe. Everything bends around this dude.

    Kobe’s nice. Not MJ nice… yet.

    I’ll start by saying this; I have NEVER been a Kobe fan. At times, I’ve thought him to be downright despicable. But, as much as it pains me to say, I have never seen a more talented or driven player. EVERAH!!! He is as arrogant, selfish, and brash a player as I’ve seen, but none of it is empty. The only two players I’ve seen assert their will over a game in the same fashion that he does is MJ, and D-Wade in his championship year…and he’s been trying to replicate that feat ever since. Though at times Kobe gets my goat, I KNOW that he’s as great as he is because NO ONE will out-work him. He’s a gym-rat with the passion to improve whatever could be considered a weakness in his game, and transform it into yet another strength in his arsenal. The Dark Knight indeed.

    “and D-Wade in his championship year…”
    The numbers on his trips to the free throw line was RIDICULOUS. It’s no wonder during the Olympics Wade was trying to figure out why he didn’t get any foul calls.

    I think the moniker Darth Kobe fits better than the Dark Knight. He has all the attributes . . . “He is as arrogant, selfish, and brash a player.” I’ve been trying to tell young cats, Lebron James is extremely talented and probably will break a number of records and get the BIG W, but he’s not Kobe.

    I really don’t think you can really get into the whole G.O.A.T argument and compare Bryant to Jordan while not acknowledging the LEGENDARY KINGS like Russell, Chamberlain and even Oscar Robertson. They have numbers and stats that defy the game that’s being played today. Not to mention the many changes in the rules that benefitted faster, offense-first players. I find it odd that when most people discuss great players they’re quick to highlight the high scoring of the day but tend to ignore defense wins championship . . . not guys who can drop 40+ a night.

    It took a while for a young Michael Jordan to accept the defensive program Doug Collins tried to beat into his teams head. Do we remember the talented BUT defensively strong and tough Bad Boy Detroit Pistons? I’m sure Jordan remembers well.

    Personally, I think the whole “Kobe>” debate is overrated. I’ve never likened him to anyone. He has the distinction of being the first Kobe, as opposed to the next _____. He’s like the perfect mix of man, machine, & douche nozzle. That alone puts him head & shoulders above the rest. There’s a huge reaspn he’s #1 voted in the All Star game. I refuse to even list his accomplishments, too many. I won’t crown him the GOAT though, until after judgement day. But until then, he’s Kobe fucking Bryant, in a class by himself. Thats enuff man mouthing for one day. Pause.

    in a former life, i used to be a concierge, of course not the trifling eagle colorado type hooker, but it was my duty to “assist” the guests in a variety of “jobs”
    my motto was…”as long as it is not illegal or unethical”…but back to Kobe…people don’t seem to like him as a person for whatever reasons, but it is called “basketball” not “personality ball” on that note, i am going to say he is one of the greatest to ever do it…now his social skills…i think that is why they are lacking, just like Tiger…they spend to much time on their game, but they have no “game” game…comprende?

  14. the_dallas says:

    Why won’t people just let Kobe be great!?!?

    “Why won’t people just let Kobe be great!?!?”
    i have a idea didn’t he snitch on shaq. one of the only people not to come to his events when he was on the lakers. some niggas act like they to good to breathe the same air as you. even though he finally got his 4th ring. shaq got it first with a patchwork team. when the heat won it was magic when the lakers won it was more like you better look who the fuck is on your team. they stacked like the yankees over there.

    I still laugh when I think of when Charlie Ward or Chris Childs gave Kobe the unanswered 2 piece.

    Classic

  17. Tony Grands says:

    @6 100

    Damn, lmao. I forgot all about that. Or the Artest elbow last playoffs. Kobe was licking the inside of his lip like “this nigga got me…” Hah!

  18. 6 100 says:

    “Kobe was licking the inside of his lip like “this nigga got me…” Hah!”

    I think Kobe was thinking “Mmmm. . .I like it rough, daddy. Show me how they do it in QB”

  19. Tony Grands says:

    ^^SMH @ 6 for trying to make Kobe Bryant the NBA equivalent of Jeff Garcia…

  20. Mark Dub says:

    LMAO @ 6 100 & T. Grands. Y’all are nucking futs!
