what he said is true, Shaq is a selfish punk only after money. He is fat and a whiner. I especially liked the point about the 2 future hall of famers playing for free while hes trying to get 30 mil a year by whining

 

[RobFunk]

yup airing their dirty laundry so everyone can hear it just like a couple of girls would do

 

[TheGeneral+]

They seem so jealous of each other.

 

[Holysmoke+]

who thinks they're closet lovers?

 

[Holysmoke+]

lovers spat

I agree with what Kobe said about Shaq.

However, in the position Kobe is, he shouldn't be making waves. And he should have never gone to the press with that.

I think maybe he is trying to force a trade out of LA.

 

[killy]

wow what a nasty interview. I have never heard a more hurtful interview involving ones own teammate. I am sure most of it is true, but a public blasting was not warranted...especially by someone who is looking at some serious trouble. Perhaps Big brother Shaq believes Kobe to be guilty of the crime he is facing. Boo hoo, everyone in the league called me except Shaq.

Kobe is not winning any fans that is for sure.

 

[Angelle]

Wow he left nothing back...

KOBE tell us how you really feel..
and how does tat make you feel

Kobe would be another Penny without Shaq. That rapist should just his mouth and enjoy the ride. The Lakers are Shaq's team. Colorado Pen. will be Kobe's team.

 

[vinividivinci]

Maybe Kobe can master the "back door" play when he plays for State Pen.


VVV

 

[Pretending]

I think the criticims are fair, but no way you make those comments when you are a "team."

Perhaps Kobe is creating a diversion away from his trial (sure working today at least) or perhaps he is attempting to force a trade...or both.

Personally, I would trade him about a 1/4 into the season (when other teams start to see their need for him). This because he says things like "...if I don't sign with the Lakers it's because..." What kind of shit is that?

 

[lander]

Is the rapist playing or not? Somebody posted that he was, but I just read ...

“MY KNEE IS NOT STRONG enough to play yet. I know it. When it is, I will play,” Bryant told ESPN by phone Monday. “I probably won’t play tomorrow night or until I’m ready.”

Let's say Kobe is innocent and this Colorado girl is just one unbalanced young woman.

He has to watch his life crumbuling around him and and then have Shaq's try to use the situation to his advantage.The shit that Shaq got away with last year must have brothered him but he put up with it, just like the rest of the Laker organization did.

He should have never said those things to the media ( particularly about Phil Jackson) but the pressure was too much, he snapped.

I'm betting Shaq goes before Kobe.

Shaq will NOT go before Kobe. No way no how. Only if Shaq retires after this year. Kobe is going to be a free-agent after this year. Sayonara.

Well, then, D2, time to put your money where your mouth is at Intertops

War in the West: Will Kobe leave the Lakers?
Closing Date: Nov 30, 2003 18:00 GMT -6

Simply select whether or not you think Kobe will end his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers before the start of the NBA 2004/2005 season.

[D2bets]

That's easy YES +120 money, but I can make +120 money in less than a year for goodness sake. I'm a patient man, but that not THAT patient.

 

[Jazz]

Gee - I show you a hundred dollar bill lying on the sidewalk and you step around it - sheesh

 

[D2bets]

If I have to stand there for a year before I'm allowed to pick it up, then yes. I'll just go pick up the hundred dollar bill around the corner that I can grab in short order.

 

[Jazz]

Well, you know best where to filch the cash, you ARE a lawyer, right?
