Kobe the only loyal SUPERSTAR? :roll: :roll: :roll: Someone doesn't know their history of Kobe.

[QUOTE=Legends66NBA7]Didn't Magic Johnson want a trade out of the Lakers early on his career (around the 81-82) because he wasn't able to run his style of offense and it eventually got his coach fired for Pat Riley ?[/QUOTE]
But he [I]didn't[/I] get traded, helped the league become more popular than it had ever been, and stayed "loyal" to the Lakers, based on the criteria of the OP's first post, that I was responding to. He's trying to act like Kobe's doing some brand new ISH, when it's already been done years ago, by a fellow Laker no less.

Well next time, learn how to type your Thread Title more specifically then.

Duncan just proved your Thread title wrong right after this past season's Finals, for example, and Magic proved your "Kobe's the only loyal Laker" line wrong 20+ years ago. This reminds me of one of those Yao Ming's Foot Threads, where he waits for a league event that will make Kobe look unique, only to have it constantly backfire thanks to legit NBA historians.

Speaking of History, Bill Russell says "What Up Youngster"? But of course, former players don't fit your Thread's "agenda" do they?
:rolleyes:
Re: Kobe haters are mad because he's only SUPERSTAR royal to his Team.
Who cares about loyalty? The Lakers would trade current Kobe for current LeBron in a heartbeat. Any team would.
It's business. Why should Kobe be loyal when the Lakers, and every other team, hell every other businessman is not?
He should go for as much money he possibly can and perform as hard as he can. If winning is more important for him, then he should go to a team, if possible under the system and within the current rules, that will do the best to help him achieve that.
There is nothing wrong with LeBron joining the Heat, for example, it was the 1 hour decision special that was so ridiculous.
If the Lakers tried to underpay Kobe, for example (even though they never will, cuz he's a legend and he still sells tickets) and Kobe left to go to a team that will pay him, I would understand. It would suck to lose him, but I would understand. I sure as hell wouldn't turn down millions of dollars, and any of you that would are as dumb as you look.

"Aside from Timmy, maybe Wade too, Kobe is the only Superstar that stayed loyal to the Lakers. " If you actually learn how to fken read you wouldn't be trying so hard. :facepalm

[QUOTE=tmacattack33][B]1. He actually was drafted by New Orleans and there is a good chance he forced his way out of there (as well as forcing others not to draft him)[/B]
2. He demanded trades after just two years of being on a regular team (as opposed to playing with the perhaps the best peak player of all time in Shaq) in 2006.
The above two things make everything you say laughable.[/QUOTE]
I always laugh when I see retards post shit like this. A high school kid who's a low pick in the draft somehow has all this major pull? Suuuuure.
Kobe's a Laker because West was really high on him and wanted him and Shaq. Even the Clippers didn't want Kobe at the time. Get your head out of your ass.

It's just part of his ass-backwards "Kobe is overrated because he played with good players" logic.
