I never claimed he was a good teammate. That doesn't make him wrong in the feuds is all I am saying.

 

And I'm saying part of (actually I think a big part of) the reason they're struggling is because of Kobe. Put a camera in the guys face and he'll throw everyone but himself under the bus at the first sign of trouble.

Your blinders are as bad as mine. You hate the Lakers and Kobe so much how do expect a conversation about Kobe and the Lakers to go between you and I? :lol:

 

Couldn't be more wrong. I like Kobe, love watching him play.

How is Kobe hurting the team?

Kobe's just a poor innocent victim in it all, right? Take off the blinders man. He's one of the GOAT, but dude is not a good teammate.

 

But let me get this right....Dwight Howard holds the Orlando Magic and the entire NBA hostage for months until he gets what he wants. After he gets it he comes to his new team but finds himself not getting along with the franchise's best player ever who happens to be having his most efficient year ever in his 17 year career while Howard is having his worst statistical year since his rookie season. Howard is also crying to every media outlet that will listen about how the team has no chemistry and why can't we be like the Clippers and you're blaming Kobe? Is that correct?

Some guys take well to publicly airing criticism, others don't. Kobe never keeps anything in house. Always let's it fly first time a camera/microphone is in his face.

He's having his most efficient year EVER. Should he not be frustrated? Should he not tell the truth? Should he lay out a bunch of cliches that we all know is crap? Would you?

Find where I've defended anything Howard has done. I haven't. Dude is a moron. To act like Kobe doesn't share any of the blame in the multiple feuds he's had with teammates/coaches over the years is ridiculous though.

I can't think of very many cases where KB called out teammates .

 

And if he did , so? Your posting history would seem to indicate the "they're grown men - sack up" mentality. How is this different?

I'd keep any issues I had with teammates in house. As would most professionals.

What has he said this year that was so bad? They're old? They are. They're lazy? You ever watch them play transition defense? You ever watch them dive after loose balls? Oh, that's right....you won't waste 3 hours of your life but you know Kobe is in the wrong. :lol:

 

What has he said? Who has he thrown under the bus?

I can't either.

So what would you say?

 

You're Kobe.

 

What the hell is wrong with the Lakers?

Pau, Bynum, DH12, Brown, Shaq, Phil, etc., etc., etc. He's done it to all of them over the years. You ever see Tim Duncan (who I hate btw) criticize teammates in public? How about Dirk? Heck, I can't even recall LeBron or DWade doing it.

Who hates Tim Duncan?

Earvin Magic Johnson ‏@MagicJohnson

I'm tired of blaming the coach, the responsibility is on the @Lakers players.
