Mamba Mentality = being a dikkhead.
One of the WOAT teammates. Imagine if Bron pulled half the stuff he did.![]()
Lin was also a soft good ol Asian Christian boy that was just happy to be there. Like a shark smelling blood in the water, he knew he could punk him.he pulled that fake tough guy act on scrub teammates he know wouldn't do or say anything back to him like Kwame Brown, Smush Parker, Jeremy Lin etc. He knew what would've happened to him if he tried it on Ron Artest or Matt Barnes![]()
Lin ego was out of control
Y'all looked at this situation and came to the conclusion that Jeremy Lin's ego was the issue???Yeah he definitely let all his fans get to his head. He was a role player with a legit superstar fanbase at that time. So I think he had trouble kinda balancing that, having a star fanbase/reputation but needing to approach the game like a role player.

He'll just ship them out mid-season for more "help"![]()
And at the start and in the middleFrom all accounts Kobe was a pretty miserable teammate his last few years

Good basketball player yes
But by all accounts a dikkhead
"Everything he said—it worked"
Fueled by Kobe's leadership, Ariza got back into the gym and worked to improve his game. From working on the details of his game on both ends to studying game film to catch up on the game's nuances, Ariza was determined to make an impact on his team.
"So I'm thinking, 'I gotta go in the gym as much as I can to perfect this.' So when my number is called or my time comes, I'm ready. I can click into the mode that he's in, in my own lane, you know what I mean?" the retired forward said.
In the 2009-10 season, Ariza's hard work paid off as he made the leap experts predicted he would. Trevor became integral to the Lakers' championship run, providing solid defense and timely shooting. He averaged 14.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 36.5 minutes per game.
"Everything he said—it worked. It worked out. It was crazy. He had been in the Triangle offense so long that he knew it inside and out. So him dropping those little jewels on me, I took them and ran with it," Trevor concluded. Kobe was not an easy teammate to work with. Like Michael Jordan, he was tough and demanded perfection from his teammates. But Ariza saw it as a challenge and embraced the opportunity to learn from one of the greatest players in NBA history.
yea there's no chance at all you even watched those videos. lame attempt at trolling. this is a direct quote vs your interpretation.
Yall love that man and i understand that but I still stand by his younger teammates not getting along with him his last few yearsfakkit ass @Da_Eggman didnt show up in this thread again after this
so thirsty to hate on Kobe nikka posted a video of Julius Randle speaking about how Kobe helped his career and framed it as being a bad mentor![]()
I'm not even defending Jeremy Lin. It's just weird to blame Lin's ego for this situation while watching a video where Kobe is cussing him out multiple times, while teammates are patting Lin on the back.I actually follow the Lakers and saw the whole thing go down in real time
Same guy left the Lakers to go avg 11ppg on the hornets
You nikkas really are fukking pathetic![]()
