Anybody attending the Fanfest on Wednesday? Don't have tickets to the game but I kinda want to go and pay my respects and hopefully get a pic with the trophies.
And if we were a championship team, that's what we would say? Instead of "Awww yeah, he tied Jordan's 6! YES!", we'd say, "Nah, he only played 6 games. Doesn't count, tbh. He has 5 rings and an Adam Morrison ring"? HAAAAYL nah. Only people saying that would be folks in the haters thread.Originally Posted by CP1708
I was confused on your pomp/circumstance post for "3" worst years.
First, it's two. Two worst years. The other he played 6 games. After fighting like crazy to come back early, which he shouldn't have done.
These last two, yeah, you can blame him.
Magic has nothing to do with Kobe. Unrelated connection being made there.Originally Posted by CP1708
But the pomp part, really? You don't agree with a franchise giving him a farewell tour after losing out on Magic's? Which is exactly what Jeanie said on 2/48.5 day.
Depending on their desires, lots of people would. And lots of people wouldn't. Straight up... and you have to know to know how true this is, because I honestly and truly don't give 2 s***s about money... I'd turn it down. I'd be the one reading the contract and then telling THEM, "Gee, that seems like a lot. We can, ummm, we can build a good team around this? Because I don't know if you've seen me lately, but I'm kinda broken, brehs. And if my broke self can be out there with a solid squad that at least has a fighting chance to help me get a 6th, let's do that."Originally Posted by CP1708
Kobe has fault for taking the money (tho, would any of us really say nawwww to an extra 20+ million dollars?)
Every line with 'break' in it, I'm with.Originally Posted by CP1708
But he didn't let Pau walk for nothin.
He didn't hire Byron.
He didn't break Randle's leg.
He didn't break Nash.
He didn't sign Nick Young for 5 friggin seasons.
He didn't offer Melo a max contract.
He didn't trade for Hibbert.
He didn't help the team win games in late April when they should have been tanking. (2 years ago)
I mean.....
Everyone else is jumping on because of what we're doing. The media hated Iverson, but if he had a farewell tour, it would have blown up. Let's not act like the media operates on independent thoughts.Originally Posted by CP1708
Why, exactly, should the team/league not be paying their respects for what he's done for our franchise (and the league) in twenty years? Don't forget, NBA, TNT, ESPN, NBATV, Nike, Apple, Social Media alllllllllllllll been in this too, not just our franchise.
Because eff a Kobe. Straight up. Can't WAIT for our drunken infatuation with him to be over... but I fear it may never happen. He is the most talented, hardest working attention diva I've ever seen. To me, he's the arrogant, rich, well-mannered gentleman that says all the right things to our sister, but we don't like him.Originally Posted by CP1708
Why does that disgust you?
ill bring the kleenexBet maybe I can link up with you guys before hand.
no one would say kobe led the team to a championship if he only played 6 games in a seasonAnd if we were a championship team, that's what we would say? Instead of "Awww yeah, he tied Jordan's 6! YES!", we'd say, "Nah, he only played 6 games. Doesn't count, tbh. He has 5 rings and an Adam Morrison ring"? HAAAAYL nah.
