Petty? Its the complete opposite. When its release that he says they need to step up it gives them more motivation and drive to perform better when it is released to the media and around sports rather than just face to face. It gives them an embarrassing feeling and makes them feel that everyone knows how bad they played and will play better.

I think Kobe is forever goin to stay in that 06 nba live god mode, me against the world, and Smush, Mihm, Kwame L.Walton are not playing with him anymore,and thats his problem.

SO ITS NEVA KOBES FAULT? LOL!! u kobefans are just crazy sometimes. Kobe averages like 20 shots a game and when he has a poor shooting night he continues to shoot which results in poor possessions for his team and less shots for his big men. This results in the lakers losing games. I hope that explains it. He may play great d but when hes running the offense inefficently, his team will lose and it does become his fault coz hes the one with the ball the majority of the time.
@tallandawesome12 жыл бұрын
Skip says Bynum had 8pts, 5rebs and 3blks in the 3rd quarter, that means that Bynum had 3pts, 11rebs and 1blk in the REST OF THE GAME. But obviously Pau Gasol was the worst player on the court there in game 6.
@marcgw49612 жыл бұрын
Face it people, Kobe doesn't suck. All that matters is that you try your hardest. One thing that's certain is that Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum looked like they didn't even care. They deserve to be traded after that. Kobe was really the only person who actually earned his money on the court in the playoffs for the Lakers, and Jordan Hill and maybe Steve Blake. GTFO Kobe haters.

Well you're ONLY looking at shooting efficiency. I look at overall effort, which means defensive pressure, offensive execution, etc. I'll tell you why the big men don't DESERVE so many touches. Because they don't rebound how they should every night. They don't play with EFFORT. Gasol shot like 40% this playoffs, which is TERRIBLE for a big. Bynum averaged LESS than 10 rebounds in the OKC series. For that, he doesn't deserve the ball.

When is he EVER the main reason his team loses? Even if he has a poor shooting night, his EFFORT is there 100% in other areas. The rest of his team plays with next to NO effort, it looks like he's the only one even TRYING. Remember the 2006 series against the Suns? His team has become undependable like that again.

But you have to respect your teammates as well. This has been his problem his whole career. Guys just hate playing with Kobe because hes a jerk. Trust me, if you were on his team, i'm sure you would hate it. I KNOW he has rings but Kobe never takes responsibility when he screws up. He always blames his teammates. Calls out Gasol all the time. Called out Bynum in that video (the 'kobe vid'). If kobe had a good attitude, him and Shaq would have had 6 rings. He's just an arrogant child.
