Why Isnt The Media Running Kobe Out The League Like They Did Iverson?

[Dwight Howard]

Iverson was still a good player when the Nuggets,Grizzlies and Pistons got rid of him. Kobe fukking sucks and he's still in the league.

Kobe has 5 rings and tenure.. A.I doesnt. It's that simple

 

[Brozay]

lol.

i remember iverson was ballin on memphis until that rift with lionel hollins,

Iverson played 3 games in Memphis, the fukk you talking bout?

 

[BrothaZay]

People are going to say it's because Kobe won rings and Iverson didn't.

This may be true, but it's still bullshyt.
I don't believe you "earn" the right to hang around at the team's detriment...potentially stunting the development of other players on the team.

Kobe was great. Kobe won rings. You know what that earned him? Millions of dollars. Period.
It doesn't earn you a roster spot. And it doesn't earn you minutes. You know what earns you those things? Performance.

bro what the hell do you be talkn about lol

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Kobe would've been Crawford status if he didn't win any rings

kobe had the machine behind him full-swing before he even reached crawford status.

Is jamal Crawford really that bad to be chosen as the butt of these comparisons?

@Wacky D and his AI stan logic.

 

[Reggie]

Iverson was disliked by media teams coaches and some fans hated him too. Plus his other baggage with the gambling and drinkng and lack of leadership is what put him out of the league early. Plus even though he always said he would come off the bench if he was behind a superior player i never thought or believed that he would actually do it.

bro what the hell do you be talkn about lol

I need more time to find the appropriate Tupac metaphors to explain this to you clearly.

 

[Wacky D]

Sixers traded him away..lol @ nothing to do with it. Pistons/Grizzlies didn't owe shyt to AI, if Kobe was on any other team right now he would be benched..same with KG, but this is the benefit of playing on a team for this long. You stated media ran him out, now you are blaming teams? Which one is it?

bullchit.

KG started on the nets last year too, doing the dam near the same chit hes doing now. they didnt owe him anything.

and KG aint win no rings in minnesota. he won 1 in boston and they traded his ass.

Is jamal Crawford really that bad to be chosen as the butt of these comparisons?

not at all.

that weirdo brought his name up. not me.

 

[Wacky D]

Iverson played 3 games in Memphis, the fukk you talking bout?

and he balled in all of em,.

f*ck is YOU talkin bout?

They're not making a big deal over a lot of those games. Kobe's existence right now is being drowned out by the noise of the Warriors' dominance. Whenever he's been mentioned this season it's usually to do with how poor he's been playing.

either youre not paying attention or youre just not smart. which one is it?

of course theyre acknowledging that hes playing poorly. they have to. theres no way around it, but thats not the only narrative.

man i was watching "around the horn" the other day.

and they were encouraging this kobe chit.

some in a joking manner. some seriously.

 

[OG_StankBrefs]

Because he's Kobe and he's got 5 rangs.

Iverson didn't/doesn't hold nowhere near as much prestige as Kobe in a lot of people's eyes.

 

[CM_Burns]

I think the answer you're looking for is because Iverson is too real and Kobe is cac friendly.
