Kobe Bryant is one of most successful NBA players of all-time, but his success gets overshadowed when he opens his mouth to talk. Bryant just doesn't know how to let things go and move on. He now has brought up the fact that Mike D'Antoni thought different about winning. Come on Kobe, the man is already fired. You got your man in coach Bryon Scott, what else do you want?
Kobe Bryant loves to kick a man when he's down. That's not what he should be doing at this point in his career. Last I remember, he's been sidelined for about two seasons because of injuries. I see when you win titles like Kobe, you can just talk a bunch of bull when need be. The funny thing is, Kobe Bryant is one of my favorite players of all-time. But when he starts to talk I just to tune out.
Everytime you hear Kobe speaks it's usually something negative, and that's not cool. He just doesn't care if he's liked or not, and that's okay. But it's not just about that. When you are a great player in any sport it is your duty to show some class, and I just don't see that with Kobe. It's like he's mad at the world for being this rich superstar or something. I just don't get it.
I would really hate to play on the same team with Kobe because he'll make your life a living hell. I don't care about his talent. Yes, it's about winning a title, but you can't win one alone. To have that chemistry on the floor and in the locker room, you have to be a team guy first. We all know that's not what he's about.
In a quote he said that "if it isn't about winning a championship, then the season was a waste". That's just bothersome to hear because winning a title is very hard as he knows. But only one team can win in a season. So that means everyone else is the loser, but that doesn't mean that the season was a waste. From failures, comes success. You can't get better if you don't fail at times. Do you think coaches come into the season and say "I just want to win the division or the conference and that's it". That's just absurd.
I don't think that the Los Angeles Lakers will be a contender in any type of fashion this season. So we'll see how things unfolds in tinseltown when Kobe doesn't win under Bryron Scott. Will he then throw him under the bus? I think so.
For Kobe Bryant to respect a coach, that coach needs to come in with championship pedigree like Phil Jackson did. If you're ringless that respect is out the door when you say hello. Kobe is the type of player that doesn't want the coach to do his job. Kobe wants to coach the team and play at the same time. You can't have it both ways.
Kobe's talent is off the charts, and I can't wait to see him back on the court this season. I think he'll do very well and put up some really good numbers, and hopefully he can stay healthy and bring the Lakers back to some form of respectability.
