I love Kobe.  I really do...  His teammates have got to be feeling for Howard right now.  Kobe talked crap for too long about Howard...

From an outside viewpoint(don't know the man at all personally), Kobe is an extremely hard working player, a great individual player, a good team player(because his individual talent is so high), a poor teammate, and an even worse person. That's just my opinion based on his comments and all of the situations he's gotten himself into.

I can't stand Kobe and find it hard to understand how some Rocket fans love Kobe.

Well, here is a link that gives us a little more insight into what was said during the Lakers game.  NSFW - naughty words - LINK

 

I am not sure what you mean, but I doubt anyone feels badly for Dwight.  Once you consider the source, who cares?  Kobe has been running his mouth for so long I am surprised anyone listens at all.

 

Kobe can sit high up on his perch, casting aspersions and belittling everyone who he perceives to be beneath him.  He can hold those 5 championship trophies tight to validate himself.  I'm sure he keeps them very shiny so that he can see his own reflection in them--for who else can keep him company but his own greatness--no one else is worthy.

 

Kobe the player vs. Kobe the man are 2 different things.  I could care less what the man has to say or think.  His basketball skill is matched only by his social ineptitude.  I get it--it's hard to treat people with respect when you believe everyone is beneath you.

 

Honestly, I imagine that if they are talking about Kobe's words at all it's to laugh.  Apparently, Durant is in on it too: NSFW LINK.  It seems like a bit of hearsay--withholding judgement on this one.

I took his comment to mean that his teammates want Howard. It was kind of hard to decipher his comment though.

Huh?  "his teammates want Howard"....to do what?....to be on the team instead of Kobe?

 

It must suck to play with Kobe right now--if I feel for anyone it's them.  Kobe shoots them out of every game while donning his hero's cape and not-so-subtly throwing all of his teammates under the bus basically saying they all suck and it's their fault--basically, the epitome of an emotionally abusive partner.  I would like nothing better than to see them "freeze him out" of the next game.  Better than that, I'd love Shaw to sit Kobe and let the kids play--they've got players.  They can win without Kobe.  They aren't a playoff team either way.

I read his comments as his teammates are missing Howard and that Kobe was wrong to run him out of town.

Kobe is clearly inconsequential going forward........complete 180 from his hero MJ at this point in MJ's career.

I clearly meant to say Kobe is absolutely quite distant from MJ's game at this point in both of their careers.............Don't get me wrong, I respect Kobe, closest to a MJ in the past 30 years without a doubt...........still, MJ was so much better than Kobe could ever dream of being..........
