Funny how he nearly had a blood transfusion in 2004 and 2007.

smokescreens to force managements hand in dealing away shaq... then to get a legit 2nd option


i'm sure if shaq was already gone by 2003.. kobe signs an extension before the offseason of 2004

and i'm sure if the lakers had a better starting lineup than "smush/kobe/kwame/cook/odom" then kobe doesnt demand a trade


notice how when things were rectified kobe backed down from his threats


which shows he was doing them to get action rather than because he wants out

[ShaqTwizzle]

LoL, Loyal.
Kobe don't give a **** about anyone but himself.

Kenneth Griffin could be bleeding in his driveway and he'd just casually run him over with his car on his way out.

Yeah well you ignore the fact that they offered Shaq an extension just a shorter one then he wanted.
Shaq could have stayed if he wanted but they gave him the cold shoulder after the negotiations dragged on so he got pissed and demanded out.

Had Shaq chose to stay Kobe almost certainly would have left.
So much for loyalty.

Yes how dare they not keep Kobe surrounded by Peak Jordan or Shaq every year.
But either way they got realllllly lucky with that Gasol robbery.
What if they don't manage to pull that trade or another comparable one?
Bye bye Kobe...

The guy that goes to Germany every offseason for 'experimental knee procedures'

dubeta with the scare quotes.

Yarp.

He's been spoiled by the GOAT franchise from day 1, so of course he's loyal. Have Kobe be drafted by the Cavs and he'd be out of there before his rookie contract was up

No he would have been like Jordan and molded the team into a team that would be good for 5/7 rings.

Bron is a colluder. He's not even in the same realm of loyalty.

Yea, like Jordan with the GOAT coach and Pippen. Totally the same as the dumpster fire in Cleveland

[LikeABosh]

Kobe "silver spoon" Bryant.

Jordan didn't have a GOAT coach when he started and he didn't have Pippen until he trained with Pippen everyday and made him cover him so that he could be good. Jordan was VERY patient. Bron wasn't. Kobe was.

[Hey Yo]

MJ had no choice but to be patient when you're under contract for 8yrs.

Yeah, Kobe was so patient he publicly demanded a trade and it would have went down if Deng wasn't part of the deal.

And kenneth would be like, "Please, sir, can I have some more?"
