ya'll act like jordan didnt have his own scandals. um... cheating on his wife? massive gambling issues? his teamates hated his guts. he was a grade a asshole behind closed doors. everything the league says about kobe now, about his "selfish" play, they said about jordan... EXACT same shit.
kobe does seem to be an egomaniac. isnt shaq? for a guy who didnt win shit till kobematured as a player and got phil as a coach, a guy wose teams were always SWEPT the fuck out the playoffs, a lazy ass, whining, crying bitch of a man who always blames someone else for his failures, the same guy who said "ive won everywhere except college and the pros", the same guy who has never even won a rebounding title, or led the led in blocks, the guy who cant hit a free throw, the guy who vacations all summer, and then gets surgery right before training camp, because, in HIS words, "i got injured on company time, im gonna get surgery on company time", the same guy who threw a punch at brad miller WHILE HIS BACK WAS TURNED, the guy who for 7 fuckin years took verbal shots at kobe in the media without kobe EVER saying SHIT to the media till LAST season....
there's a lot of shit the media dont even acknowledge about shaq. want proof of the media bias? espn radio has THREE commercials WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE is to bash kobe bryant. no joke, no lie, no exxageration, you can hear them yourself. three. "espn extra point" is what they are called, and they have three seperate commercials they run bashing kobe. THREE. you dont think they got better shit to advertise then kicking a man who is alread ydown that they hgave to have THREE commercials doing so? that should tell yuo how biased the media is.
they talk about kobe running shaq and phil out of town, although he tried to get a sign and trade done with chicago to LEAVE L.A at the end of the season. even though it took last minute calls from buss and jerry west to get him stay. he was already on his way out. dude was gonna leave. but the media keeps blaming him, even thuogh SHAQ DEMANDED a trade, and phil jackson ADMITTEDLY gave the lakers rediculous demands INTENTIONALLY so they wouldnt keep him, its in his own fucking book. karl malones camp brought up the shit about kobes wife, and kobe answered the questions, and yet kobes the bad guy, the media says he tried to tear down malone, but kobe just answered whether or not the story they ALREADY HAD was accurate.
shit is sad how biased the fuckin media is. i'm a fan in so cal so yea hi follow this shit, and its fuckin obvious whats happening. kobe aint innocent, dude has an ego the size of the league itself, but so did bird, magic, and mike. dude has some scandolous shit going on. so did magic. he cheated on his wife like it was goin out of style. so did mike. charles barkley threw a midget through a window and spit on a little girl. rodman kicked cameramen. headbutted refs. karl malone threw elbows and kicks and routinely handed out concussions, broken noses and busted mouths.
but, kobe is fuckin evil i guess. come on people, look at this shit objectively, look at the whole story, dont just hear a few media soundbytes and then snap to judgement. i follow this shit.
