this is the most 100percent realist post in this thread. kobe's emotion those last several minutes of that all star game was the most excitement i seen from him all season. dude is a great baller that i respect tremendously, but he really does force some of this on himself when it doesnt exist. lebron just doesnt care what kobe or mike thinks or want him to think. just like last year when kobe yelled at bron for passing up the final shot. bron like, i got a bigger picture in mind. kobe wants bron to sieze the moment, its a fukin all star game.

If its just an all star game, why was bronze pouting when wade won MVP?

Kobe Bryant is one of the last few players who still show intensity on a court and during the 2013 All Star Game, he didn’t fall short.

One of the most talked about highlights during the NBA All Star game, other than Chris Bosh’s air balls and getting a ball dribbled between his legs, was Kobe Bryant not blocking one but two of Lebron James shots during the last 8 mins of the game. These blocks come after the infamous words of one of basketball greats, Michael Jordan, saying he would chose Kobe over Lebron. This only fueled the fire of the never ending conversation of who is better: Kobe or Lebron. When asked about the blocked shots, Kobe replied: “Im an 80′s baby, thats what we do!”

Kobe wanted to play for the Lakers franchise itself. He was a Lakers stan, just like me, before he even got to the NBA. Shaq was just a "welcoming gift" from The Logo and Dr. Buss:shaq:


LeBron wanted to team up with Wade and Bosh to force a dynasty which has NEVER been done before in NBA history so blatantly, which is why all the Legends of the NBA give LeBron the :stopitslime: when it comes to where does he fit on the All-Time list

You know damn well that's bullshyt. Every player in the nna has a favorite team. Kobe is the only only I know of to hold out though.

fukk those legends. Kobe went to la cause he knew it wasn't gonna be bullshyt like Cleveland and he knew he couldn't do what Bron did there.

What about when the lakers was supposed to het Dwight and cp3? What do you call that?

And they still ended up with two hof'ers. Both of which are better than anything Bron had in clev.

I ain't even a Bron fan like that. But the level of stupidity is:wow: how are ya'll so blinded?

Sohh, you're saying that Kobe wanted to go to LA in the 1996 draft, because he knew he wouldnt be able to duplicate what LeBron was going to do from 2004-2010 on the Cavs? He knew this in 1996?:dwillhuh:


I know Kobe's a GAWD, and an awesome GAWD at that, but he can also predict the future as well breh?:ohhh:

So Kobe won two without Shaq. I give him his props for that...

but Lebron got one and more on the way. :myman:

Plus before you bring up Wade/Bosh let's not act like Gasol/Bynum is chopped liver. :comeon:

SMH at people bringing up Bynum when dude was injured and a non factor in 09 and 10. Gasol never even won a playoff game before he met Kobe dude was a soft ass euro that never would have sniffed the hall of fame. Dude was Keith Van Horn status without Kobe.. So ya basically Gasol/Bynum compared to Wade and Bosh is chopped liver.

So Lebron got .5 rings (no one is going to give that asterisk ring full respect)

kobe's last 2 wasn't THAT impressive

lebron making it to the finals in 2007 with that BUM ASS TEAM is way more impressive that kobe beating jameer nelson and rashad lewis. Add to the fact kobe was running with ODOM AND GASOL with PHIL JACKSON on the bench :dead:

kobe is being a fakkit and taking for granted that the majority of people are just going to assume pau wasn't that good of a player but without pau the lakers would have got sonned that year. Kobe never won without shaq he just replaced shaq with others who could do almost what shaq could do.

We know bron can win a championship all by himself bc he got to the 2007 finals by himself and lost to the Greg pop spurs which isn't even something to be ashamed about. Why couldn't kobe take his smush parker team to the finals if he's that good?

You'll get no argument from me sir.

:wtb:

What if Kobe wins another ring without Phil? Are people going to say he needs to win a ring without another top 10 player on his team? Why is Kobe always held at a higher standard than his peers? shyt is stupid as fukk... basketball is a team sport and no player can win anything without a good team around him.
