i am a big fan of kobe bryant
by myke L. jordan
I LOVE THE LAKERS! I HAVE SEEN THEM 3 TIMES AT THE VERIZON CENTER AND HAD A NTURAL BALL AT EVERY GAME! I COULD HAVE HAD FLOOR TICKETS BUT, FORGOT TO PUT MY MONEY TO THE SIDE. ONCE TICKETS WENT ON SALE IT WAS TOO LATE! I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON CLOUD 100,000 IF I COULD ONLY TAKE A PICTURE WITH KOBE BRYANT! THE ULTIMATE FOR ME WOULD JUST TO BE AT A LAKER GAME IN LA! WOW THIS IS ONE GOAL BEFORE I LEAVE THIS EARTH! I PRAY THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN FOR ME! KUDOS TO MY LAKERS!!!!!!! LOVE THOSE GUYS!!!

Kobe Bryant has been and will always be my favorite NBA basketball player. He makes playing basketball a joy to watch.agai
by Ann paulson
Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest players ever in the NBA scoring the basketball. And when he puts his mind to it, he is pretty darn good at setting up his teammates for easy hoops.
by Lakers Observer
yeah kobe my hero
by david
Love Kobe so much. I can't wait for the Kobe Academy. You are so amazing dude! An inspiration to all. I'm disappointed that we didn't advance to Western Finals, but that doesn't change my point of view about the lakers. I still behind them 100%. Can't nobody change my view of you Kobe. Keep your head up. And that MVP award looks way better with you than it does Lebron!!!!!!
by kb24wifey
This is my man
by Guest on Tue May 22 13:45:00 2012
I totally believe that the lakers are going to pull through this series. Yea one game we got blown out.....So what get up and go fight. Thunder shot 73%. That is a big shocker. They normally average 43%!!! And to all you haters who say kobe was locked down....you were not watching the same game as me. Kobe handled business. Unfortunately Kobe can't win a game by himself. I need for my other laker teamates to step up tonight. Steve Blake...what is wrong with you make a freaking shot and be the backup point guard we need you to be. To my little man ramon sessions you keep doing your thing I see you!! All I know is that Kobe will hit two free throws with 18.3 seconds to win the game. Unlike the so called "MVP". If you ask Lebron for a dollar he is going to give you three quarters, cuz he never has 4 quarters!!! Let's go Lakers!!Love you Kobe.
by kb24w
I still believe that MJ is to good but rmemeber that he was drafted 3rd when he can to NBA, Lebron Overrated James was 1st but nobody spects that much from you Kobe when you made it to NBA and you turn the things ao=round that's the reason why i think you're the best ever......
by David Araya
YOU ARE SO GOOD IN BASKETBALL. KEEP IT UP. I LOVE YOU.

Hello Kolby, you are not aware of who i am. My name is Sandra and I'm from a small town in Arkansas. I am sending you this letter to let you know somethig bout my newphew, Rodd Briggs. He is a recent college gradute from Central Baptist College in Conway, Arkansas. I know you probably have not heard of that school. Well, Rodd is a lover of basketball. You can visit CBC Mustangs.com and view is career while he was there. I love my newphew to death and all I want to know is how he get a chance to join the NBA? He is a well rounded kidd that has God as the head of his life. He has been to Russia with the FCA of America. I know you have heard of that organization. Well i am at work and I need to end this note here. I hope you can assist me with this. If not thank you and I hope you keep having a blessing in the sport of basketball, I know that you have God as the head of your life, if not all these wonderful things are happening to you without him, close your eyes and just imagine what your life would be like with God in it. Thank you and have a blessed day

Hey. I am rooting for the best team to win but my comment is about Kobe in particular. I am a christian woman who has a respect for the game of basketball or sports altogether for that matter. I admire your drive Kobe. You've been through alot and have come through it all with your sanity. What I like and notice about you most is your humbleness. In your position, that is a very valuable characteristic. Keep it up!

by Steven Hootch
Kobe has good talent around him. But back to the MJ thing MJ made his team better by being so valuable when he was in. Just like Shaq. Shaq doesent need to get assists to be able to get his team to be better. 1 Shaq and MJ are both good teamates Kobe is not. 2 Shaq and MJ both shoot a higher percentage then Kobe. 3 Shaq and MJ are so hard to guard that it opens everything else up for everyone else and MJ got other people involved without having to get the assist. 4 MJ and Shaq got more rebounds. 5 MJ and Shaq play more as a team then 1 on 1 like Kobe. Kobe does not make his team any better plus Kobe had great talent around him he had Shaq but he dident get along with Shaq so now Shaq is gone. That never happened with MJ.
by Shonuff18
Well put JamFan
by lakerfanryan
Ok, excluding Kobe's rookie year, even though he usually did not play PG, he has led the Lakers in assists every year. In the years he had Shaq and a better team, he won championships. In the years when the team was weaker, he didn't win a championship. But the assists have been consistant year in and year out. Also, when you constantly draw the double (sometimes triple team) that leaves others open. Helping your team mates to have wide open shots normally would make them better. Unfortunately, when Kobe sends it to them, they put up bricks. Not Kobe's fault.

Now, cut that out :oops: But, Kobe is great, and does really have a will to be the best. I just hope (and kind of expect) the Lakers win the Conference this year. We won't know until training camp starts, and not even then because Phil isn't big on winning preseason games.
But, if we look with a sharp eye, not counting the preseason wins, I really hope and believe the Lakers are really deeper than last year.
Well, first off..I am tired and will make it short and sweet. Kobe is probably one of the best of all time..that is for another day...Kobe has a great will to win...that is very rare..many have claimed it, but few have had it (the will to win). As far as making your teammates better..it is all about being in the right place at the right time..If Chris Paul was on a better team..his stats go up..making your team better sounds good and sells papers..most of those media types are a waste...Kobe is geat and so is Momo..

by LKnight
LK, with your posts I don't like to quibble, because I usually agree entirely with you. But, this once let me quibble: two words, "King James".
For years, the debate has been about Kobe making his teamates better. Personally I'm totally against that entire phrase. I believe that either your on a good team or your not. Throughout the history of basketball, barring injury, the best team ALWAYS wins the title.
I think there has only been 2 or 3 players in history that actually elevate the level of their team. Magic Johnson being one of them. But with that being said, if you put Magic on the Charlotte bobcats, his assists will be cut in half...why is that?? Did he all of a sudden forget how to make his teamates better!!?? No! It's because the level of talent isn't there!! Personally I get tired of hearing that Jordan won because he learned to make his teamates better. That's complete bull!! If you follow his stats year for year, his assists actually dropped every year he played. The difference is that the level of talent increased around him. For example, Jordan won the mvp in his final championship run averaging 28pts and 3 assists...I REPEAT 3 ASSISTS. Now you tell me who's he's making better with 3 ASSISTS. Now if Kobe would have averaged 3 assists, the media would've kill him. Now 2 years before the bulls won their first title MJ averaged 32pts..8 assists...8 rebounds! And your telling me he didn't know how to include his teamates til 2 years later! And for some reason they only won 47 games...now why is that??? (THE LEVEL OF TALENT WASN'T THERE!!)
Kobe bryant has done the best he can with the level of talent he's given, and what makes me mad, is that as the level increases, his assists (of course) will increase and the number of games won will increase, but the stupid media will all of a sudden say that "Finally Kobe's getting it"..."Or he's finally making his teamates better" Bull!!! Kobe hasn't changed at all. He's still the same player, just better players around him...PERIOD!!
THE FLOOR IS OPEN TO DEBATE!! BRING IT ON!!! :evil: :twisted:
(By the way...check out basketball-reference.com and you'll see the stats speak for themselves.) You'll also be interested to see that while they shoot Kobe down for the number of shot attempts...Jordan averaged more for his career. But why don't they consider that "jacking up shots....." I wonder....
by momoivy
Nash makes his team WORSE, as in Dallas and Phoenix never making the conference finals while he was with the team. He, all by himself, turns a team into a run-and-gun style team, which has been, and always will be a flash in the pan team.
by momoivy
NO NASH MAKES HIM TEAMMATES BETTER
He just has good talent around him. Take away all those 3pt shooters and see what'll happen to nash.

by LKnight
getting back to the comment that "kobe makes his teammates better" ... i happen to think that you dont need to perform on the court to make your teammates better. kobe can make them better in helping them in training, helping with mental things and teaching them how to work through tough times such as last season and, more so, the season before.
i absolutely agree with what you are saying LKNIGHT, but i just think there are more factors in making your team better than just the examples you are giving.

by C.H.A.R.G.E.AVALANCHE
lknight your right. another good point i thought of was that they said all over the news that nash had a great season without amare, well if u take a look at his team, a blind man can see that nash's team has more talent. oh yea thats right and kobe did it without shaq, derek fisher, rick fox, and robert horry to name a few, wasnt he the only starter left on that team. give him a break!!! nash is a nobody
by LAKERS#1
That's true Lakers#1. You know I've been thinking about that, and what I came with is just like John Salley said...People hate Kobe because he challenges Jordan's greatness. Kinda like Barry Bonds to Babe Ruth. In any other era, Kobe would be recognized as the greatest athlete playing the game, but because of jordan, he's going to be constantly knocked for it. Now, when Jordan averaged 37pts and won 47 games, he came 2nd in mvp voting. The year after he averaged 35 and won 50 games, he was the mvp. Now, maybe 50 wins is the bar for mvp, but the fact that Kobe didn't come in the top 4 or 5 for the voters is absolutely RIDICULOUS!!!
I'm still pissed about that. If Nash can win an mvp for what he did, then John Stockton (who wasn't even in the running) and Jason Kidd deserve a couple for what they did throughout their career.
by LKnight
U guys took my rules and completly changed them but that's ok I liked your input
I do have to argue that jordan doesn't have the better mid range in think kobe does especially falling away baseline he's automatic u guys know what shot I'm talking about
by johndoeqwert6
Kobe by 3. It would be a close game but I think Kobe would rise to the occasion finish lights out.
by Biglakermike

Kobe hasn't changed at all. He's still the same player, just better players around him...PERIOD!!
Excellent Job you will also get no debate from me. If Kobe had the developed skill around him he could average 10 assists per game. He can only do so much before the players around him have to step up their skill level and allow him to receive assists or any other stat for that matter.
But as Kobe fans and Laker fans in general have seen is that no matter what he does or what he says Kobe Bryant will always be ripped apart by the vultures of the media and public eye.
It's Sad...
by Biglakermike
liquidfrog, your argument is correct. But, it cuts both ways.
And, I don't think anyone is saying that you can measure the worth of a player by his assists or any other single stat (and probably by any combination of stats).
What the argument is about, is the hypocrisy of the press. They state thus and so about Kobe, and then twists the stats anyway they want to make Kobe a bad "team" player.
The fact that Kobe has been on a team that couldn't be made good by Runtboy (Nash) is the point of this argument. You have to have teammates that complement each other, is what this argument is about.
People talk about Nash and give him all kind of credit. Well, you sub Marion, Barbosa and Diaw out with Smush, Walton and Odom and see how close to some kind of MVP Nash gets. Nash is a loser, period. He has run down the Mavs and the Suns, but he is supposed to make his team so much better. Hah!! He makes his team, all by himself, into a run-and-gun team, and that is a losing style in the NBA.
The Mavs are the Western Conference Champs for the first time. Why? Because Nash was cut from the Mavs (well, traded).
Leaving home in 20 minutes soo only a quick blurb to start the discussion...
You are incorrect to associate Assists with "making teammates better"
Look at AI and Steph. Can ANYONE argue they are anything but shoot first PGs? Do you think they make their teammate better? They actually get lots of Assists (more than Smush).
"Making teammates better" is less quantitative and full of "feeling" about say if Parish would be equally good on another team (with equal minutes) without Bird. Making teammates better does not have to be about assists leading to baskets.
Converstly, if Kobe passes out 18 assists each game and then doesn't pass within the offense for the remaining 55 possessions... won't ther other players "loose their rhythme" from been frozen out consequently missing that last crucial shot?

Your right momo, but didn't want to curse on the blog. It just eats at me the way they trash Kobe for doing the same things they say made Jordan great. I think Kobe is the greatest player of this era personally and that's not just being a laker fan saying that. 35pt average hasn't been seen since 87 and they just brushed it aside like it didn't happen. They even sweep the 81pts under the rug saying "well, if you take enough shots, you'll score alot of points" AAAAAAAAHHHH!!! They drive me crazy. I have a feeling that Kobe's career wont be recognized until he retires.....that hurts :(
by LKnight

You'll also be interested to see that while they shoot Kobe down for the number of shot attempts...Jordan averaged more for his career. But why don't they consider that "jacking up shots....." I wonder....

i have every confidence that kobe could play in either PG or SF. thats just the kinda player he is. i think he will shine no matter where he is played.
however, i agree with the fact that we dont have enough depth in SG and that kobe playing at SF would create a problem in giving more time to less skilled players like smush or vujacic (not wishing to say they are crap or anything but...) and less time to good players like RAD and Odom. so kobe at SF is out in my opinion.
also, if kobe played PG it would allow more of our good players to be on the court at once, (kobe, odom, RAD, kwame, mihm) but the SG position is traditionally played by smaller (not as small as PG's but still...) who are more moblie and quicker. again, nothing against odom but i just dont see him as a agile player who, at 6 10, can take it around the likes of LBJ etc. the only up side to odom at SG is that he may have a height advantage over a lot of the the other SG's in the league but this is incidental in my point of view.

I Dont think so
:roll: :roll: :roll:
I want him to be just a Shooting Guard :P :P
By the way who would you make to be our shooting guard????????????
by Kobe_is_MVP
i forgot to add that the one great thing about our team is our versatility. we have many players that can play multiple posotions.
by cyclone_nicky
i agree with charge, we dont want to burn kobe out. but that doesnt mean he cant run the point or play sf for a few minutes here and there. i believe with rad playing the 3 and odom being able to play the 3 as well, we should require kobe to play the 3 for more than a few minutes a game. if we do trrade for al harry, which is still a slight possibility, we shouldnt require kobe to play the 3 at all.
by cyclone_nicky
Kobe playing the SF position in the triangle means he will be posting up more than usual. If that happens, they will need someone to stay on the wing and hit outside jumpers and/or penetrate. Though kobe will still be the primary SG, tex indicated he will get spots at SF. Maybe that can place Radman at the wing playing the guard spot on the offense. (maybe thats the logic behind the signing or vlad) having a SF/PF for defense but can be the SG on the offense. Kobe can then post-up on offense and still guard the perimiter on D

All the responces are right. For me, right = true.
by momoivy
I agree, Kobe at PG and Odom SG wont work.
But I have a question, in the triangle, does it really matter what position you have by title? For example if it's better scoring opportunities for Kobe at the SF, why (in the triangle) can't he just be placed in that position on offense? Why does the lineup have to change? I mean, it can be Kobe and a bunch of centers and he should still be able to be in whatever position he wants to be in as long as the triangle is in use. Could be wrong.... but I though thats what the triangle was for, which is why there is no traditional pointguard. Like I said, I might be wrong, but I was sure that the triangle allowed anyone on the floor to be anywhere according to the defense. So if Kobe wanted to post up...he could...or if he wanted to be on the wing...he could, just as long as they were running the offense.

hey charge that pic u sent me was takin off it was probally gang related so send me a message
by johndoeqwert6
thats ridiculous having kobe at pg and lamar at sg wont work
by johndoeqwert6
true, which is why I don't see kobe at SF too much. Honestly, with the current roster I don't see Kobe playing too much PG either. I can see kobe for 40 minutes just at SG. Moving Kobe to SF just means Rad or Odom sits with one of our guards coming in. I'm not sure if this thread grew from the Rush to Lakers thread, but I still prefer Odom/Rad over Rush or Peterson.
by liquidfrog
WELL I DONT WAN TO BURN KOBE OUT EITHER
by C.H.A.R.G.E.AVALANCHE
Liking Ryan's option better. The point is to give Lamar/Rad more minutes... not Sasha/Smuch/Evans/ or anyone else
by liquidfrog
PG-Kobe
SG-Lamar
SF-Vlad
PF-Mihm
C-Kwame
Boom imagine our defense! Look at our back court
by lakerfanryan
According to tex winter, he would like for kobe to play more of the 3 (SF) next season for him to have more scoring opportunities. That would mean a gap at the SG position for about 20-25 mins/game. What's your take on this? and who would you think can fill that slot? Sasha? Shammond? Evans? Smush? Rush? What about a trade for Morris Peterson?

p.s. in this picture Jordan does score the basket, but it's because Kobe swats the ball so hard and so straight down that it makes it through the rim. Jordan gets the point but he doesn't know who helped him slam it home.
Jordan should be remembered for his greatness. He may be the best of all time. Hopefully Kobe beats him at that game too.
by lakerfan8
If you look at my picture on the right it gets the imagination thinking.
Personally, I like to think of games to 11, no win by two, but best of 5 series.
Jordan takes number one because he sets the tone better than anybody
Kobe takes number two because he's gotta rebound from a personal attack, The series just got personal when Pippen gave him the middle finger between round one and two.
Kobe also takes number 3 just the way Reggie Miller hit that deep fading 3 on Jordan back in the day. This round is a gimme because Kobe's 3's are going down.
Jordan, on the brink of elimination pulls the crossover on Kobe just like he did on Byron Russell and the Jazz and sinks the game winner.
Game five, tied 2 a piece (respect for both sides given) Jordan manhandle's Kobe for the stretch but doesn't contain the conditioning that Kobe does and wears thin at the end. Kobe makes one foul to hard and Jordan is a little screwed up. Kobe hits 2 threes and windmills the tying basket. 10-10 Jordan tries his infamous buzzer beater like in the gatorade commercial but it rims out. Kobe rebounds it dribbles back and pulls a bank fade shot over the shorter Jordan.
Kobe 5-4. 3 reasons. Kobe picks the battles he can win and does. Jordan's game is not as good as Kobe's (arguable). Jordan never knew when to quit. He pushed himself beyond his abilities and sometimes lost.
by lakerfan8
great point. Jordan favored, Kobe booed. Also if there are two's for deep shots Kobe has a huge advantage. He carries every attack that Jordan did but also has range. Respectfully, Jordan had a way more accurate mid range fade away, and more creativity attacking the rim. But nobody adjusts in the air from contact like Kobe, and shoots the lights out like Kobe.
This matchup would be an all out war till the end. The type where the ref blows a whistle because he can't keep up with the two.
by lakerfan8
ok fine KOBE
by lakerfanryan
CURRENT DAY: KOBE -WAY BACK WHEN:JORDAN
Didn't I prove it?
by C.H.A.R.G.E.AVALANCHE
tough call charge. dont forget jordan won the nba defensive player of the year award. but u are right jordan of course would be favored and everyone except for laker fans would be rooting for him too.
by cyclone_nicky
CURRENT DAY: KOBE -WAY BACK WHEN:JORDAN
by lakerfanryan
Personaly i say kobe. Why u say? Well first off kobe is hated and he knows the odds are against him so that would motivate him more to beat Jordan, Kobes' hit some of the most difficult shots ive ever seen, not that J hasnt. And 2nd Kobe loves to be the underdog and at the end he proves them wrong. In a 1 on 1 game i give it to kobe 7-11, and plus defense wins games, and thats a fact.
by C.H.A.R.G.E.AVALANCHE
Jordan for now Kobe will be better at some point
by lakerfanryan
yea but is its ones and twos then kobe would dominate with the out side shot but if its all ones then its alot closer
by johndoeqwert6
i think we need to flip a coin on that one. if they played 100 times it would be close to 50-50
by cyclone_nicky
ok this is both players at there peak not right now and you have to win by two i have kobe 397 jordan 395 lol no but seriously i see kobe coming out on top how about you
by johndoeqwert6
Hi kobe this is Carmen from Timmonsville South Carolina. I really do like the way you play on court. The Lakers has been my #1 team every since I was little.I just want to you ,Lamar Odmor, and the rest of the team to keep you the good work.By the way I am happy that you got Philly Jackson back as the coach. Have a nice day.

You can do a better job of presenting the photos, they are too spaced apart and are not good for viewing. Try having thumbnails, there will be less pages to sort through as well.

I agree with you my friend, if Garnet decides to move to L.A than we can win some champiosnships. Dr. Jerry Buss needs to do something very quickly. Kobe is going to have at least 2 more rings and if we have the right player at the right time then we're gonna bring the titles
by Anonymous
I forgot to say that Garnett needs to get smart and notice that he is never going to win a championship in Minnesota. Mvp status every year individual Stats will over the top, but in that market you are only going to get one star and he is it. Kevin don't be Karl Malone, Charles Barkely, Patrick Ewing ,or even Gary Payton. The lakers are an athletic and young enough team to win in the near future. Garnett and Kobe Sounds more promising than Wade and Shaq.

Kobe needs a sharp shooter, some who he can depend on atleast 50% of the time to knock down shots. Right now there is no one on the lakers who is that consistant. Lamar Odom is one of the best players in the nba, everyone knows this, but comparing him to Scottie Pippin is not fair to Lamar, Scottie was a leader and more important on the teams he played on than he got credit for. Scottie took alot of pressure off Micheal Jordan. Kobe has never had a player with that type of star consistency thats including Shaq. Think about Shaq and his 4th quarters ,the hack a shack is in effect in the close one. If Michael was in trouble dish the ball to Kerr, Pippen, or Harper. I think if Lebron or Garnett pair with Kobe that is an easy 3 to 5 rings. I prefer Garnett I think he would fit in without getting rid of or changing Odoms role, as a matter of fact he would make it easier on Odom and Bryant who do you double teams.

Kwame was great on Monday, he played very well and showed us that he can be the PF that we the Laker fans wated for
by Anonymous
If the Lakers go after him what would they do with Kwame Brown (who by the way tonight played his best game as a Laker so far)?
by Dave
I saw him at the Lakers-Raptors game, not a Great player...he's ok he's young, he has his future but not the one that we need.

Wht abt Chris Bosh...from Toronto Raptors

According to my knowledge KG is not happy with his current team, I think there is some hope to bring him to L.A next year, but the bigest target for the Lakers is Lebron James. That's a dirrect order from Dr.Jerry Buss. He want's the kid in L.A with kobe bryant. I think that'll be the best move for Lakers. He's young He's great player and he can grow old in this city,he can be the next Magic Johnson,Kobe Bryant, or any other Laker legend.
Put him in the team with Kobe and watch how the team will win Championships. Kobe will be more free and his mind will be clear and I think he's going to achieve Jordan's level.

So who do you think the Lakers should try to sign- any one in particular for 2007? I know they there interested in Yao Ming and Amare but both of them have already gotten contract extensions, & KG seems to be staying put in Minnesota.
by Dave
Comparing Odom to Pippen, Odom is not what Pippen is. Pippen was way more offensive player,more aggressive and more sharpshooter. Odom is a good player but he's not helping Kobe as much as Lakers need. Kobe is the best player in NBA but he's getting tired cause he's all alone...Everything is on his shoulders and Odom and the rest is not enough. I hope next year (2007) we bring a great player to increase our chances for more NBA glories
by Anonymous
Odom can be that guy- remember the Chicago Bulls championship days? They had Jordan & Pippen- and you couldn't really consider Pippen a "super-star". They just had a ton of role players who knew their roles. Maybe that's what Mitch Kupchak was aiming for, but perhaps the dynamics of the league has changed and that formula is not longer a recipe for success....
by Dave
Yeah but still we need another star in the team, we can't go through all the way to playoffs with Browns,Cooks,Parkers...we need a big name beside Kobe. Either Iverson,or Kevin Garnet or anyone who knows how to defend and how to win
by Anonymous
The Lakers have enough guys around Kobe- but the team simply needs to focus more on perimeter defense. No matter how much you score you're still going to lose if you can't stop anybody. Phil Jackson should play only guys who want to play defense and sit guys if they don't want to defend.
by Dave
I think kobe is the best player in the nba, but ur right he does need that offensive threat 2 take the load off of him. Not taking anything away from lamar but he isn't that big of an offensive threat especially with his 1 for 11 outing no team is afraid of that. Lakers diffenetly need some more offesive threats more so inside then anything else.
by Anonymous
Lakers need another superstar alongside Kobe, the guy can't do everything by himself, nobody can do it let's admit it. Even Jordan was'nt by himself. Jerry Buss should bring some one very soon( I heard that there is some rumor bringing Lebron James!) Kobe needs help guys, either James,Iverson,Garnett. What do you think?
