Real Lakers fans. Are Kobe's press conferences pissing you off?

[Gus Hemmingway]

Kobe laughs as he jokes: "That was beautiful basketball."

"tee hee yeah i'm such an old guy tee hee"

"mmmm can't wait to leave the stadium n get a cheese steak tee hee"

I'm talking about the act

This guy has paralyzed your franchize with his salary for two, now three years.

He says he wants to help, why shoot so much? Why the shot selection? He's tickling opposing players, playing paddycake, giggly wiggles. Slapping their butts after they nail a three. Laughing with the media after blowout losses, smiling in interviews after losing to a winless team.

Where's the seriousness to show that young core how important winning is? Where's that demeanor and killer instinct? You can clearly see in his interviews how little of fvcks he gives.

Thoughts?

You raise a good point.

It is bad that Randle and Russell aren't getting the experience leading the offense. If Kobe wants to chuck, he should take the Lou Williams role and come off the bench with the second unit, and Williams or Young should be starting SG.



In terms of the franchise, Kobe shooting so badly helps us get a higher pick next year, so real talk, it's not bad.

Still, those shots should be going to Randle and Russell and Clarkson.

[ClipperRevival]

Yes. I want to punch the guy. He acts and talks like he just won the championship. I feel sorry for the Laker players that will have to put up with this sh't for the rest of the year. He no longer cares about winning. Laughs when he's losing, doesn't play D and just chucks up shots like he's on the playground.

[FreezingTsmoove]

You ****ing duck head he is helping the team

Drafting the next Lebron > meaningless wins with Nick Young and Lou Williams

Everyone who has to be developed will be developed next year

[Akrazotile]

He's trying to pretend he's not embarrassed by how god awful he is.

This act is no different than his "ultra focused, high-intensity, win-at-all costs" act he put on when his team was actually relevant.

He never cared about winning. He never cared about the team. He cared about "Kobe's image." It's always just been an act. He tries to project whatever image he thinks will get praise and admiration from people.

Randle and Russell's development will be hindered if they spend the season standing around watching Kobe take 25 shots a game.


It would be much better long term for them if they run the offense as the #1 and #2 option, Clarkson too. The danger there is they might win a few games playing that way.

Winning is the only thing he cared about.

[Magic 32]

He never cared about winning.

For a guy who never cared about winning...

...he sure won alot.

[Mr Feeny]

Yes. I want to punch the guy. He acts and talks like he just won the championship. I feel sorry for the Laker players that will have to put up with this sh't for the rest of the year.

I can't imagine what you're going through, after seeing that dross, as a Lakers fan. I want to say that I feel sorry for all of you but I find this hillarious

[Akrazotile]

Winning is the only thing he cared about.

Is that why he shot them out of a championship vs the pistons, tryin to be FMVP?

Is that why he chucks without a conscience, when the stats say the team wins more when he doesnt?

Is that why he takes up every possible penny he can of the salary cap when his play doesnt merit it??


He doesnt REALLY care about winning. That's an act he puts on because he cares about being the center of attention.

[Smoke117]

Kobe Bryant is trying his hardest to go down as the most cringeworthy professional athlete of all time.

You nailed it here. This guy isn't interested in winning as long as he scores nothing else matters

He sure wins a lot of titles for a guy who doesn't care about winning. Do CP3 and Black REALLY not care about winning?

[Mr Feeny]

Kobe Bryant is trying his hardest to go down as the most cringeworthy professional athlete of all time.

He's most certainly achieved it. This is not going to be forgotten by anyone
It's laughably awful.
