Kobe on LeBron's Future: "I Don't Give a (Bleep)"

No wonder so many people hate LeBron. The media is in over-kill with all the d*mn articles about him.

On the nose my friend. Kobe shouldn’t give a &^%$ about LeBron’s free agency, neither should the rest of us. Here’s a guy who clearly has his priorities backwards—his primary concern is his ‘Global Brand’. He can say all the right things about winning, but I don’t buy it.

He’s already the King having done/won nothing. And sooner rahter than later as he approaches 9, 10, 11 yrs in the league and he still hasn’t one, the conversation will become ‘one of the greatest to never win a ring’ and global brand will tarnish.

It would be understandablle for this individual to say that due to the playoffs, every other basketball issue of secondary importance – a distant second.  However, the following goes way beyond that:

 — it’s two huge names changing cities. It alters things drastically in
     the
NBA. But I really don’t care about it.

This dismisses the importance of the league itself and two of its biggest stars.  It brings to mind a famous golfer who cares nothing about the game (or anyone else for that matter) – only the records matter.

Kobe said what thousands of people are thinking. The last thing Kobe cares about is where Lebron is going; he is more concerned about rings, his 5th one to be exact. 

LeBron,Brett Favre and the jets are stories most poeple are sick of.

I’m not sure why there is a backlash against LeBron’s getting covered. What really makes this absurd is the media creates all the hype and then blame LeBron for it.

I don’t give a #%@ what Kobe thinks about LeBron’s future. And no, he’s not a better player, he plays WITH better players than LeBron does, and for that reason he plays ON a better team, but it’s pure fallacy to think that makes him better.

backell your pretty funny with that comment. Kobe doesnt take nights off when it counts he shows up to play unlike lebron who took off the entire 2nd rd series and lost. lebron has talent around him with shaq, Z, jameson, williams, gibson. Lebron just isnt a winner like kobe face the facts moron.

Why should Kobe care about a guy who folds in big moments and can’t make it past the semi’s of his own conference…..(with home court advantage)…..

Ok Backell. Here come the excuses. LeBRONZE has fielded the best team with the best record the past two seasons. To say he does not have a team is a stupid comment that holds no validity. Bron can’t get it done. Kobe is better than Lebron. Unlike like Bronze, Kobe doesn’t fold in big moments. 

For those of you who want to compare, I’ll give you a fact. Lebron has NEVER had a reliable inside presence. Don’t say big Z, or you shouldn’t be talking about this subject. I’m not saying LBJ is better than Kobe or vice versa. You can’t compare the two really. They are at two totally different stages. That’s like trying to compare Kobe to MJ 2, 3, maybe even 4 years before he retired. Yes, it’s that pointless. All I will say is that I believe LBJ still has more potential. Both great players for the game though.

whatever, I never gave a BLEEP about Kobe, either…he can be the best athlete in the world in his sport (he’s not, in my opinion) but if he has an extremely flawed character then screw him AND his horse.

balls to my face!

L-H-K 

You have altered my name yet again, good for you. I would ask you to get a life although that will never happen. You lead a very sad & pathetic life & spend way too much time obsessing over me. You gotta be the gayest pesron in your town, maybe in all of America. And it’s good to know that the SPINELESS COWARDS that run this site allow you to continue to post total nonsense.

All that matters is that Kobe is a winner, simply put! At this particular stage of his career, LBNIque only covets the limelight, nothing more! For people to say that Kobe has the better players around him (which is true) is an exuse to a PRO hoops team! Cleveland has had the best record in the East in consecutive seasons and failed to advance, period. While Kobe is focused on the game and ballin, Lebron is playin this EGO tour, just like KB pointed out! It doesn’t matter how much potential LBNique has JSCIZZLE, we’re talking about money time right now, not down the road! regular season MVP’s don’t mean shyt!

Excellent answer Kobe!!!!!! Why should Kobe Bryant give a "flying rats-ass" about where LeBron James goes ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW when he’s in the midst of a TITLE RUN???? Playing for the World Championship is what matters most to Kobe Bryant and rightfully so. This whole line of stupid questioning is a GREAT ploy by the media to insure that there will be a potential of controversy with Kobe Bryant’s name attached. Look at some of the posts here in response. A lot of us have turned this into a referendum on "Kobe’s career vs. LeBron’s carer" and that is sure to bring out the "Kobe hater’s". Instead of asking Kobe questions about LeBron’s career it should be the OTHER way around: we should be asking LeBron questions about his career in relation to Kobe Bryant’s magnificent career.

I bet Kobe’s all mad that he can’t go to the free agent summit.

About time someone actually says what a lot of people are thinking, Who gives a s..t where that a..hole goes! Enough already! These playoff games are exciting. Did you see that steal and then subsequent three pointer Kobe made right before the half. No doubt in my mind who is the best player in the NBA right now! Kobe hands down. Lebron can’t handle the pressure and as far as I am concerned, he needs man up, stop with all of the media HO-inge and say where the hell he is going already. ****! I am sick of hearing about it! Lebron got game but he "ain’t " no Kobe or MJ for that matter.

For all those that say that James is better, you are living a lie and just refused to see what is in front of you.

Kobe can do more with a basketball, shoot way more with different shots, can shoot from anywhere on the court, and can help, will and drive his team mates so much better than James can that it is not even close. While James is all about stats and me looking good and making sure he is on TV even when he is sitting on the bench. This dancing around while he did not play the game was to make sure every one knew he was there and that he was on TV.

Kobe is simple the best in the world and only the writers that hype this kid so much, keep writing that James is. Asked any kid on the block or any honest fan, and they will say Kobe.

Remember this site as well as ESPN loves James and will lie and keep his name in the news even though nobody outside of Clev, gives a ****.

Yeh if you think Lebron is better than Kobe at this stage in the game, you prob dont know basketball that well.  Years from now, we will all look back and give thanks that we actually got to "witness" one of the top 3 best basketball players EVER. 

Yeh I said it

The difference between Lebron and Kobe?  First the foremost, the rings.  that’s obvious. 

The second (and maybe even more important) is the outside mid-range jumpshot.  Why?  Because with the outside jumpshot that people have to respect, Kobe can score in multiple ways.  The biggest problem of Lebron is that he’s a streaky jumpshooter who relies on his ability to drive to the rim to score.  Basically, While Lebron is the best athlete to maybe ever play in the NBA, his game is totally built around his athletic superiority.  And anyone who watches sports knows that athleticism begins to decline at 30.  Lebron is going to be 26 this season.  Kobe has a jumpshot that ever defense has to respect, so if defenders are playing him tight, that helps him get to the rim easier.  If defenders are sagging off Lebron, playing his drive, when his athleticism declines after 30, it will be harder for him to score if he still can’t shoot consistently.   

I fear that if Lebron doesn’t develop a consistent jumpshot which teams have to respect like Kobe (and I doubt he will), his decline will be alot quicker than Kobe’s because (1) athleticism declines at 30, and (2) the league is putting a bigger premium on athletic (rather than skilled) players.  Basically, the next five years I think will define Lebron’s legacy.  Lebron doesn’t have 10 more years of dominance left, but 5 or 6, unless he can significantly develop his game from now.  But I doubt it, because if he hasn’t done it by now, what makes you think he will.
