No need for friends with a fist full of rings.

Knicks: 93 til infinity
I actually agree with Kobe.
Friendly ass nikkas need to...
:sadmarbury: behind
I love the-coli
And oh yea, Bean keeping it 100 as usual, it's not just the trash-talking per se it's more the whole "we're all friends" vibe that kind of lowers competition in this day and time imo. I'm watching 90s clips on Youtube and that shyt is INTENSE

Kobe just mad cuz nobody fukks with him. 
I agree with both of these.
Players can't taunt or even look at an opposing player sideways after a jam or block shot without getting a technical foul and fined. Anything more than a slap on the arm is grounds for a flagrant foul or another technical. And if something does go down on one end of the court, a player on the bench on the other side of the floor can't so much as step an inch over the sideline without being suspended for the 'intent to escalate the situation' or whatever the bullshyt reasoning.
So all those structures are put in place, but then the commentators, analysts, sportswriters want to talk about how the players are so soft and friendly these days, as if they aint the same ones that will blast them for showing a lack of composure once they get that tech or suspension
Can't have it both ways. And its funny cuz once things do get "a little chippy" they'll go on and praise the refs for diffusing the situation early by handing out technical fouls and quick whistles.
A lot more "fire" in a friendly basketball game with your mans at the park or whatever, he's got a point specially for the first 82 games.
But it's understandable, if it's 82 fukking games. In baseball they stand around like flabby n sick friends playing golf and vibing in the sun.

So maybe Bron only responds to lesser caliber players?
Except Lebron is at least 11-5 vs Kobe with much better individual stats. He responds by busting Kobe's ass on the court, not by talking 
William Bassington
that boy
First off, why are y'all assuming Kobe is mad?, he said this quote while laughing, just an observation, no need to jump to this "Kobe just old and bitter" rhetoric
Secondly, who fukking cares?. Well I and other fans of basketball care...trash talk actually creates rivalries, shows passion, and adds entertainment to the game...but yea who fukking cares...MJ, Bird, Magic, Barkley, Isiah, etc. all talked shyt and they were associated with basketball at its peak, same goes with 90's players such as AI, KG, Steph, etc...it's a welcomed part of the game...trash talking is the display of on-court emotion, I don't see how anyone can not care about that...Boston Vs. LA, Chi vs. Det would hardly be rivalries had it not been for trash talk, no need to pretend its just an unnecessary faction of the game just because Bron and his buddies don't do it

I think that's one aspect of the game thats missing that really goes unmentioned a lot of times. I was referred to when the "team-up" happened, but other than that, the league is too friendly now. It's too friendly without the talent to overcompensate. That's why these games aren't entertaining. There are no rivalries, no everyday competitiveness, no intensity. That's why the NBA is reaching to create them instead of just letting them form naturally.

Bronze would trade every single friend for Kobes career.
Kobe only cares about rings. Bron can worry about regular season all he wants.
