Not really. He wanted the ball. He was clearly upset when they lost.

Lebron is scared to take the shot, scared to even have the ball in his hands.

I could care less, as long as kobe's on the losing end. That makes me smile.

Kobe's one of the few players that subscribe to the NBA "old guard" personality, i.e., wanting to win at all costs and never giving in to your opponent. It's funny that you hate Kobe so much and prefer douches like LBJ and Wade, who are part of the NBA "new guard," i.e., more interested in taking the easy way out and going clubbin' after the games. Ridiculous.

My hate for kobe goes back to the screw job the Lakers pulled over the Kings in 2002. I'll never be a fan of his, no matter what. And I just can't stand the Lakers. I hated Shaq when he was on LA, but loved watching him in Orlando and Miami.


people seem to ignore the fact kobe held Charlotte hostage when they drafted him too. His refusal to sign with them and forcing them to trade his rights to the best team in the league at the time never sat well with me either. Dude's a punk, always will be, to me.


Great player though, won't take that away from him, but he'll never be MJ.

He's as close as we're going to see. Totally different attitude with him relative to other NBA superstars. Most give me the vibe that the NBA is an event. Kobe treats it as a competition. I'm a Kobe (the player) fan, not so much off the court. I respect his game and attitude towards it.. it's closer to MJ than any other player in the game right now.

I used to watch basketball to see my favorite players succeed. Now I watch it to see my least favorites fail. It's pathetic, and it shows the change in attitude. I have no favorite players anymore. The NBA is just something to watch when nothing else is on.
