I get that Gary Payton asked him about his contract, but I think Kobe shouldn't have answered it.
Yeah, his response was reasonable, but I just think it's a no-win situation to discuss the money of it.
nah, he needed to answer that
these other dudes aren't as smart or savvy as he is......they needed to hear the truth
these foolish players think that they're taking a stand by taking paycuts to line the pockets of billionaire owners, as if they weren't already underpaid in the first place
kobe is a leader
Yeah but I think taking less money to build a winner is a good idea.
What was lame about the Heat was that these guys all conspired to sign together.
That's a bit different from say...if Kobe was like "I'll take 6M less to add 2 more quality players...and you go find them"
I mean he wanted to be the highest paid player in the game. That's great.
I just think when asked about it, he should have avoided the question.
Fans generally only see the greed so trying to explain things is sort of a lose-lose situation
you can never worry about what stupid people think
the lakers got a 2 billion dollar tv deal off his back and he sells out all their games. from a business perspective they're getting a bargain at 24 mil a season.
like kobe said "the onus isn't on me to help them fill out a roster"
the gm gets paid millions to make the roster work, he needs to do his job.
