Kobe Bryant unhappy - Calls his team mates soft

[Batz]

Hmm Swaggy showing more leadership than a 19 year old vet.

Well he's not wrong. The team is a soft and might I add a very dumb bunch. Hasn't been a great time for him and really everyone.

Still, shouting that stuff to Mitch right after a practice?

There's a time and place. Have a team meeting or something. Sheesh.

Isn't Kevin Garnett doing the same thing like Kobe? He even went as far as punching a rookie in the face in practice

Because Jordan, Magic and Garnett did the same thing Kobe did.

Timmy Duncan has just as many rings, more MVPs and more Finals MVPs, but never hear a single word like what Kobe spews come out of his mouth.

Weird.

I've heard that Jordan was an asshole to his teammates but KG? To the people he is playing against sure but I've heard stories of him buying suits for the rookies and stuff so I figured he would be a good teammate.

So both things works......

It's about damn time.

I have been waiting for Kobe to call them out. Somebody needs too.

Well Duncan is old and past his prime but still contributing to wins and still a guy people want to play with. Meanwhile Kobe is the opposite.

Where were you in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011?

And we can use Jordan instead.

NBA most valuable player Kevin Garnett punched a former University of Minnesota player during a pickup game last week at Target Center, cutting the man's face and chipping his tooth.

Garnett punched Rick Rickert, a second-round draft pick of the Timberwolves last season, according to several sources with knowledge of the event. Seven stitches were required to close the cut on Rickert's chin, said Susan Rickert, the player's mother, during a phone interview yesterday.

Garnett's agent and a Timberwolves spokesman declined to comment.

According to a report in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Garnett's attack was unprovoked.

Rickert, 21, scored several times with the 6-foot-11 Garnett guarding him. Several other players began to "tease" Garnett about being outplayed, according to a source. When Rickert scored again, Garnett struck him without warning.

"Rick was surprised that Garnett reacted the way he did," said Rickert's agent, Mark Termini.

In November 2000, Garnett punched teammate Wally Szczerbiak in the head following an argument.
