sure seems like kobe and phil had problems and lakers sided with kobe.
That’s very good JC. Now, I’m going to politely ask you to do some critical thinking; exactly what part of those quotes insinuates or states that Kobe in any way directly pushed Shaq and Phil out of the organization this summer? Unless you live in the 4th dimension of a parallel galaxy, having a disagreement with a coach doesn’t mean that person pushed him out of the organization. Not being satisfied with winning doesn’t mean you pushed people out of the organization.

At best, you can theorize Jerry Buss realized that Kobe’s philosophy towards basketball made Phil Jackson a bad fit as coach, and since it's well known that Shaq loved playing for Phil Jackson, Shaq was therefore extremely displeased with Buss when Phil was fired. Which is why Shaq asked for a trade, among other intricacies we probably don't know about. That’s a pretty decent theory for people who think logically.

But your spurious assumptions and poorly researched conjecture is not even close to any sort of logical explanation as to why Shaq and Phil left. Ironically, that is supported by the very articles you linked, which I have to assume you either didn’t read or didn’t think about carefully.

seriously, these exceprts are not hard to find at all. just click on the damn link and read. you guys probably wanted me to show you exact proof because you thought i'd be too lazy to actually
quote my own links. thats just a pretty low tactic on your parts.
What’s so low about it? As evidenced above, you clearly have very little ability to analyze simple sentences. I don’t want to sound harsh, but I’m trying to be straight forward here.

where? where does he say that he was talking about the rape incidnet? give me the proof? got any quotes?
Yes, here it is:

Speaking publicly for the first time since he was accused of sexual assault, Kobe Bryant denied the allegations [in case you didn’t know JC, they were sexual assault allegations] and said he "would never do something like that."

"When everything comes clean, it will all be fine, you'll see," Bryant, 24, told the Los Angeles Times in a story published Sunday.


This is very, very simple stuff.

how do you like a taste of your own medicine?
It tastes pretty good. I’m partial to cherry Dimetapp myself.

Quote:
dude...i know what you are talking about the "i would never do anything like that" quote and he was trying to explain that he had nothing to do with the girl. don't try to spin it off like he was just only referring to the "rape"
And as shown above, you are 100% wrong.

Quote:
the guy flatout lied to reporters!!
You are flatout wrong!!

Quote:
also, do you know that he even lied to the cops when they first interviewed him? he denied the whole incidnet! i'm sure you know about it, but refuse to bring it up.
*edited: Attack only the arguments, not the person*.

Quote:
just because i know about this quote doesn't excuse you from bringing a quote/article. remember, at least 3.
It’s done, as shown above. By the way, it took me about 3 minutes to find all that information.

So, can we move on now that it’s obvious you’ve been…
