watching mamba speak with SAS brought tears to my eyes
what a reflective interview. that's a man aware of his own basketball mortality. it must be tough watching scrubs wasting the last few years of his career with missed free throws and ineptitude
shiet if i had still my hops i lace them up and play with that guy anyday.

watching him congratulate Kyrie Irving and the Cavs for beating the Lakers almost brought tears to my eyes. He has given up, and smirked after the loss. He doesn't care. :confusedshrug:

so sad to see great athletes decline because of age. regardless of how you feel about kobe, it's amazing that he's been able to stay one of the top players in the league for so long.

Re: watching mamba speak with SAS brought tears to my eyes
Even before the interview was posted on ESPN, SAS was on First Take talking about it. When he said that Kobe told him he's old, I was just like, "Damn..." :eek:

Must be hard for the other players having such a pisspoor leader who, when things aren't going well, will just start jacking up shots no matter if he is hitting them or not.
This is part of the reason Kobe will never be at Jordan's level. As Jordan got older he learned to be a leader and always looked for the highest percentage possession even if it meant he had to, pass the ball (*gasp*).

Kobe doesn't seem to have a problem with the roster/personnel on the team though.

CompassionBe too kind to shit on those scrubs
and Kobe has so much confidence that he probably believes he can win with anyone
this is a man that carried Kwame, Luke, Mihm to the playoffs and almost won a chip

Do you think he is pissed at Dwight and Pau?

Re: watching mamba speak with SAS brought tears to my eyes
in the interview all he said was that he believes in his team bouncing back? :confusedshrug:
didn't hear anything about giving up, and by watching him play the best he has in a while lately, I seriously doubt that he has given up ...

Re: watching mamba speak with SAS brought tears to my eyes
Oh damn dudes. shit was touching. Reminded me a bit of Jordan in certain parts.

he talked about having only a few years left.
he also touched on something very important: that to be great, you must make sacrifices and you must make a conscious decision to accept the stings and arrows that come with the path towards greatness.

You know it's bad when Kobe is doing sit-down interviews 20 games into the season. :oldlol:

Just finished the interview and it was great. I like how Kobe touched on a lot of things and he handled Steven @ss very well.

I thought it was a good interview overall and Kobe seems confident that they can make it work.
What sacrifices did Kobe make to be great?

The fact that Kobe gave it, I'm guessing.

Kobe doing the interview at this point of the season is pretty much being a drama queen. just stfu and let your play do the talking

more time in the gym than just about anyone, playing through injury so often that he has sustained permanent disfigurement to his fingers, willing to do whatever it takes to win even if it alienates the teammate and make him unpopular with the media or some fans, bearing the cross of being called selfish when it's just his desire to succeed
just some stuff that popped to mind immediately.
Kobe is the type of philosopher king of the platonic ideals
