People knocking Kobe for being selfish is the worst argument because it's all hypothetical.

IF he wasn't so selfish, IF he didn't want to be Jordan.

he DID get 5 rings, he DID go to 7 finals.

It's the argument that casuals and people who don't watch basketball make. Also people that don't like to see confident people succeed.

:scust: I have never been a big Kobe fan but these Kobe haters are crazy he won rings after shaq left and decided to get his money at the end of his career instead of sacrificing money nothing wrong with that blame the front office for that. Whitlock loves to hate especially if the person is black.

There is legitimate criticism that goes to Kobe...but I think Jason Whitlock goes too far.
And Jason Whitlock isn't the one in the media to come at Kobe for anything. Whitlock if a piece of shyt.

Not last night. That game was a celebration of his career and legacy. It was for us his fans. Neither the Lakers nor the Jazz had anything to play for. It was an exhibition that was intended to give Kobe's millions of fans one last glimpse at his greatness.

Any criticism of Kobe's performance LAST NIGHT is not legitimate.

Meh.
I think his fans celebrated his greatness just fine over 20 years of basketball.

Frankly I'm not a fan of this trend in sports of athletes announcing their retirement early in the year just so they can go on a 6 month fellatio tour.

It was a great night. But the price for that night was the last 3 or 4 years of the Lakers being awful. Historically awful as far as the Lakers franchise goes. So was it worth it? I don't think so. But the Lakers will get another lottery pick and things can improve fast in this league. So maybe it won't matter in 2 years.

I'm not trying to downplay how fun that night was, but Lakers fans can't act like everything good that happened in LA was because of Kobe and everything bad that happened was somebody else.

But that's just me.

No one forced you to watch the game or festivities. If you don't like a legend being celebrated, then there are a million other channels on tv with non-Kobe programming.

On your other point about Kobe causing the Lakers demise. Why do you care?

From your avi you seem to be a Spurs fan. If what you say is true, then shouldn't you like Kobe? He destroyed one of your biggest rivals. And why do you seem hell bent in trying to convince Lakers fans Kobe was bad to them? Unless you are a Lakers fan Kobe's contract shouldn't bother you. In fact you should celebrate it.

Your critcisms of Kobe make you look like a bytch ass hating nikka. Nothing "legitimate" about it.
