He keeps backing the ineffective by bringing up past contributions. I don't like it one bit. For those of you who remember, I called it that one season when he said he was "closer to being a bull than most people think". I talked about the inappropriateness of those comments and how he would demand a trade later, and nobody believed me, but then he did, every single day for a month.
When he starts speaking like this, I get extremely uncomfortable.
The thing is, he was actually going to be a Piston, not a Bull.

Wait, we traded Nash away? When did that happen?

So what benefit was it to Kobe to say that? With Kobe, who learned from Phil and the mind games, What was Kobe really trying to say?

What do you think he should say on a Nash documentary?
Do you actually think he should say a single negative thing.....and can you imagine the public backlash if he did say something bad?
Lighten up bro, you are way too serious about this......much ado about nothing.

I was thinking the same thing. There's no way he could get away with saying something negative. It's not like we're talking about Smush Parker here. Kobe doesn't even talk bad about Shaq anymore, lol. He wouldn't say anything bad about Pau. I don't think he'd even say anything bad about Artest. There's no mind games here. I would bet if he was asked who deserved the MVP's more him or Nash he would answer himself, but I don't even find that controversial.

Steve is probably a friend, and is a teammate/draft class mate. They have been colleague for 19 years. There' lots of respect and of course tremendous competitiveness from those 06/07 series. There is NOTHING negative to say about Steve Nash, who is a consummate professional and all around classy man.

Thats exactly what was said the last time. I don't mind. Im wrong and right 50% of the time each.
I just don't like it. I never get a good feeling on these.

Kobe says he's "jealous" of Tim Duncan
Link: Here
“I’m jealous of Tim, playing for the same historically great coach for his entire career.”
Muh-ged.

10 plus years on ISH
So all we have to look forward to this season is Kobe chucking?
Nash out for year....was looking forward to see him trying to come back
Randle out for year....was looking forward to see him develop
B Scott finally our coach....but he really doesn't have a team to coach
Linsanity........so far nothing to be Linsane about
Kobe.....will pass MJ this season. Good to see him playing again. Clearly not the same player of course.....just chucked his way to 30 pts tonight on a horrible FG%
Man times sure have changed...gunna be a long season

Annoyingly probably won't be bad enough to get the pick back from Phoenix either, although could be that bad at this rate who knows. With the team compiled wasn't expecting that much else...Kobe's got free reign you can look at the team and think who's the second option...probably the best you've got is either Jeremy Lin or a washed up Boozer, most annoying thing is Randle getting injured to be honest ...it's pretty much last year except just not spending a portion of the year hoping the coach will be fired

This team has less scoring options than the team did back with Smush at PG. Let Kobe chuck shots all he wants. This team wasn't even a playoff contender anyhow. I say just enjoy watching Kobe tear it up.
