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.

 

And I have asked what has he specifically done to earn that blame? That's all. I can't think of any feud off the top of my head where Kobe started it.

So what would you say?

 

You're Kobe.

 

What the hell is wrong with the Lakers?

 

"We need to get better" "Need everyone to step up." Yeah, they're cliche answers, but who the hell cares? Since when is it the players job to give a good interview?

Who cares if he started it?

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.

 

What did he do to Pau and Bynum? Any criticism he leveled at them he always ended with how important they are to the team.

 

What did he do to DH12? He still hasn't said anything had about him publicly unlike DH12's recent comments aimed at Kobe.

 

What did he do to Shaq? Last I heard Shaq slapped him and Shaq dogged Kobe repeatedly in the media for years before Kobe finally responded years later in 2004.

 

What did he do to Phil? Respond to Phil's book where Phil threw Kobe under the bus?

 

Dirk has been criticizing the entire Mavericks organization for the last week.

 

DWade and Shaq feuded before Shaq left. Shaq also feuded with Steve Nash in Phoenix and LeBron in Cleveland. Shaq has burned bridges everywhere he has played.

Who cares if he started it?

 

Then how does he shoulder blame? :lol:

Since when is it bad when a player tells the truth?

Then how does he shoulder blame? :lol:

 

By responding? Surely, you're not an advocate of "two wrongs make a right"....

Earvin Magic Johnson ‏@MagicJohnson

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

 

It's on all of them. If D'Antoni is as stubborn as they say......

Since when is it bad when a player tells the truth?

 

When it can negatively impact a team's on-court performance. It's obvious guys like Howard, Pau, etc. don't take criticism well.

I just live and take everything case by case. You won't talk crap on me and expect me to lay down and say nothing. Who does that? I'm not an advocate of turn the other cheek.

He hasn't said anything to Howard publicly. Unlike Howard.

 

Pau has responded well in the past. Well, his immediate response has always been good. Different strokes for different folks.

Who said he has to turn the other cheek? Respond in house, not through the media.

That's when the fisticuffs take place.:lol: Or in Kobe's case, get slapped. :lol:

 

 

Depending on what was said and how deep the feud was would determine whether I go in house or in the media. If I was dead serious I'd probably stay in house. If I just wanted to get under your skin I'd tell JA Adande.

What did he do to Pau and Bynum?

 

I don't recall.

 

Heck, what did he say publicly about Howard? What did I miss?

I don't recall.

He hasn't said anything about Howard publicly.
