Kobe Bryant showed great leadership skills by calling out his teammates.

[G-Funk]

After calling out Gasol & Bynum publicly, they responded really well, with a combined 39/35/7/5

You'd think after 16 seasons he would know better than to throw his teammates under the bus.

Poor leadership, and pretty classless

Exactly. Bynum and Gasol definitely need to be sat down and chewed out. But the media is a bad idea. We all know how quick Bynum throws temper tantrums.

Just another reason I dont Like or Respect this guy..

Poor comments from a supposed leader.

Kobe's comments are going to backfire against him. Gasol, Bynum and the rest of his teammates will be too emtionally damages to play well on Saturday. Bynum and/or Gasol will be shipped out this offseason if the Lakers lose to the Nuggets. It's going to be an interesting offseason.

thats Kome for you..

If it works for the team then do it. If not, then don't. It just seems that this Laker team tunes out sometimes when called out.

I wouldn't want to play hard for Kobe either. Work their asses off for absolutely none of the credit. Kobe is a douche even his team hates him. If Kobe was a quarterback he would be dead by now. Because noone gonna block for that douchebag.

who were we going to trust, kobe's judgment or his hater's ?

[tpols]

Anyone that isnt an idiot could have seen this coming. Gasol came out PUMPED. More fired up than I've ever seen him.

[Indian guy]

Good thing too. LORD knows he won't show up in a Game 7.

[Jimmy2k8]

Look at all the hate Kobe got because he called out his teammates. And then the haters go on to say, "Well Kobe got carried by Bynum and Gasol."
Hilarious.

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

Kobe SHOULD HAVE pulled an MJ and straight-up bitch-slapped Gasol.
However, a few choice words seemed to have worked nicely.

[blablabla]

da gawd
such a generous and loving leader, he set his teammates up for easy shots all game to boost their confidence instead of just scoring 100 by himself to blow the nuggets out

[red1]

gasol and bynum both deserved to be called out
