Yeah, the Grizzlies made a mistake by choosing not to double-team Kobe... That was incompetence on their part.

DP · 07-02-2002, 02:58 PM

Oh I get it. Kobe has to be double teamed now. Gosh, is he that good ?

**Chops** · 07-02-2002, 03:11 PM

Yeah, when he plays the Grizzlies without Shaq it would be wise for them to double-team Kobe instead of having a rookie defend him full time. Common sense.....

DP · 07-02-2002, 03:18 PM

So now Sidney Lowe lacks a common sense. Oh ok. Kobe scored those points because Grizzlies coach is a fool rather than because Kobe is any good, right ?

**Chops** · 07-02-2002, 03:24 PM

Well, you have to admit that it was foolish to defend Kobe with a rookie and not double-team him all night, especially after they realized Battier couldn't get it done......

~~Chill on the attitude.~~

Just because a poster doesn't agree with you, he is said to have an attitude ?

Stick to basketball. Anything else will be deleted from this point on.

As far as single teaming Vs double teaming, who cares ? He still had to make shots and he did. So I give him props for that. You choose not to and that's fine. I am sure Kobe won't lose any sleep over it and neither will I.

**Chops** · 07-02-2002, 03:57 PM

Yeah, props to Kobe for lighting up a rookie one-on-one. He is the greatest.....

When I watched that game, it was Grant Long, the long-toothed veteran on Kobe, not Battier.

KC is just a kobe hater anyways, he doesn't want to admit that kobe has more game than his sac town kings do. kobe can light up whoever he wants.

hOnDo · 07-03-2002, 06:21 AM

I think that KC is just a Laker hater because he is all over bashing Shaq and Kobe and the Lakers.

IN JORDANS CAREER HE MISSED 30 GAME WINNING SHOTS AND DO I NEED TO REMIND U OF WAT HAPPENED AGAINST ORLANDO IN 95'. AND ALL THE PPPL THAT HATE ON KOBE ONLY HATE HIM BECAUSE HE HAS THE ONE THING EVERYONE WANTS A RING AND HE HAS THE MOST DOMINANT CENTER IN THE HOSTORY OF THE GAME ALONG SIDE THE BEST COACH EVER.

HE HIT 56 POINTS IN 32 MIN WEN SHAQ WAS OUT. AND THE NEXT NIGHT IVERSON HOT 57 IN OVERTIME AND HE PLAYED THE WHOLE GAME AND TOOK LIKE 15 MORE SHOTS THAN HIM SO U DO THE MATH AND SEE WHO IS A TOP 5 PLAYER IN THE NBA

I Hate You · 07-06-2002, 12:15 AM

The reason why people hate on Kobe is because he seems spoiled and he's a Laker and they right now are the team to beat. People hate the Yankees, Duke, the Red Wings, The Rams etc. for the same reason. Also, I get the feeling Kobe's overrated because he plays in LA. Kevin Garnett and Tracy McGrady are 2 players who I feel are just as good as Kobe but they get nowhere near the respect he does because they play in small markets. So, anyways, Kobes real good, but as good as he is he still suffers from the "Overhyped cause I play in a huge market" disease more commomnly referred to as the "PatrickEwing" or "LatrellSprewell" disease.

People hate Kobe for the same reason they hate the Lakers, which a lot of people do. A commentator once said it best, the first time they win, people are happy for them, the second time, they're okay with it, but by the third time, people are just hatin'. And it's true...fans of other teams are probably sick of seeing the Lakers being so dominant...they dont like to see their hometeams gettin beat.

And well, when I ask people why they hate Kobe, they say hes arrogant and lots of people thought he was a ball-hog after the All-Star game.

To whoever ranked Vince higher than Kobe, I definitely wouldn't agree with that. And to whoever said Vince doesn't get compared to MJ, that's also not true. I'm a Torontonian that watches all 82 games of a Raptors season and he definitely does get compared as well, maybe not as much as Kobe, especially since Vince had injury trouble this year, but he still does.

KennethTo · 07-13-2002, 12:43 PM

Why people hate Kobe
1)Lakers won last 3 championships, he was a big reason
2)They like a different team, so obviously they won't one of the two key players of the team their team is trying to overcome
3)They were huge bulls fan, and obsessed w/ jordan and don't like it when announcers say he is better or compare him to jordan at "his age".

As a Laker fan, I don't like Jordan comparisons either, and I know Kobe doesn't like to be compared to Jordan either. Kobe wants to be the best, have the most rings ever, etc... Whether or not he ever becomes the "best" no one can know until his career is over. I think it's a little to early to say is, or to say that he isn't...

he doesn't want to be the next anything, which is a reason why I like him.

As for "lighting up a rookie", T-mac had a chance to light up that same rookie, he's a had the chance to light up numerous inexperienced players, but he didn't top kobe, now did he?
