[rfm767]

Kobe Bryant on his teammates, when asked for what was he gonna tell them for the next game(s).

You can tell he despises his teammates effort/heart.

"On his way into the losing locker room, the most angry man in the Garden was heard to bellow a spontaneous stream of curses into the ears of his Los Angeles Lakers. As the door slammed behind them, a witness heard Kobe Bryant(notes) screaming that he needed some-bleeping-one to make a stand with him."

"All that screaming in the locker room, all that angst over a Game 5 that felt like ’08 again, and Bryant stopped walking and stood for a moment. He had to start building back these Lakers, building back the fragility of a defending champion on the brink of elimination.

His eyes narrowed now, his lips stiffened, and Kobe Bryant would say late in this chase for a back-to-back championship, “Listen, if you told me at the beginning of the year that we’ve got two games at home to win a championship, yeah, I’ll take that [bleep].”"

first part adds to your theory and 2nd part well.. You gotta agree with him

[Killer_Instinct]

Don't see how he's wrong.

Don't see how he's wrong.

he's not

[oh the horror]

At this point, his teammates need to hear it like that, rather than someone hugging them and telling them it'll be okay....straight up.

Agreed. It's do or die from now on.

It reminds me of this:



Swap Wade with Kobe, and Richardson with Gasol

Re: "If I need to tell them what to do, they do not deserve to be champions" - Kobe

He said "We do not deserve to be champions" not "they".

[coin24]

How can anyone argue with him?

They never showed up for game 5... Odom did a bit, the rest stunk..

HAHAHHAHA. Arrogant moron

Funny, since this can be applied to his game also.

- Stop b!tching after every single play (acts like he's fouled whenever he touches the rock)

- Stop taking double the amount of shots as any other Laker. Turning Gasol into a non-factor on the block and making Artest a spot shooter = fail. You can't play 2006 ball on this team and expect a ring.

- Where's the defensive adjustments? I don't see Kobe shutting down Rondo.
