He got heated cause that nikka is a fukkin bum.
Melo did in '06 and got suspended for 15 games..he obviously couldnt do that this year man
A couple of things...
A) Up until the last 10-12 yrs or so, economic prosperity was tied into overall individual and especially TEAM performance to a much higher degree. Receiving playoff bonuses actually meant something to players, and being on a winning team raised individual's profile, and had greater capital in securing a long term deal. Now players know that if they put up decent stats, they're in line for huge paydays, regardless of whether their team wins. Im not going to say players dont care now, but they arent fighting for their livelihood w/ every possession like the 80s/90s
B) The NBA is puzzified and controlled after the malice in the palace incident. There's so much scrutiny. Players cant so much as glance at each other the wrong way w/ receiving a 5 game suspension. Kobe knows he's untouchable --- but for the majority of the league, they have to feel like they're constantly walking on egg shells. Look how big of a deal the Melo waiting for KG at the bus issue became. If that was Barkley in 1988 waiting for Laimbeer, nobody would have given a shyt, outside of seeing who was gunna get they ass kicked. NBA is a corporation. Not a league.

So maybe Bron only responds to lesser caliber players?

As long as they perform on the court it doesn't matter if they are buddy-buddy off of it.

Maybe he just respects Reggie's game more, since teams Reggie is on have a better record against LeBron teams than Kobe

OT/ But from the same article..
Beli always has these out of left field friendships. Still amuses me that the only way Inside the NFL could get a interview with Beli, was if Barkley did it...

Are you 12? Niccas would catch beat downs at the bus regularly. Drama queens didn't make it a big deal about it back then. Niccas used to get they ass whipped over money, women, whatever.
