"Thoughts of self doubt...Am I done? Is this how my career will end?? I REFUSE to give in to these thoughts. #strongwill #countonchallenges"
Bryant has stated recently that he may retire after the next two seasons are completed and that coincides with the end of his current contract. He can in fresh faced out of high school and now 17 seasons laters he is one of the elder statesmen of the league; a league ironically that he is leading in scoring this current season. After practice yesterday, Bryant elaborated on his tweet the night before and how it may affect his teammates.

"Everybody has it. I'm human just like everybody else," he said. "I think the way I react to it is probably a little different than anybody else. I don't feed into it. I'm able to face it. I'm able to deal with it. I'm able to roll through it....I think it's good for them, especially for them to know I have those moments as well....I'm sure they've had them. I don't know how they respond to them. In certain instances, maybe they let the self-doubt get the best of them. I refuse to let that happen."
Still the best player n bball. Lbj just another role player compared to this guy.
ReplyDeleteLol^^
DeleteHey preach why do the lakers always suck when statiscally kobe scores the moat points? Lol bc he aint a team player. Lebron way better
DeleteDamn preach u who know how to ride a dick. What the fuck make lebron a role player to dis guy. He never put up as many triple double games or even almost triple double as Lebron in who been in the league longer. I guess 5 which is really 2 rings get u fans like Preach who thinks ur a goddess fuckin fagot.
DeleteNobody cares
ReplyDeletePeaches shut up man. Damn... Just please dont comment untill yall are over 500. Seriously. You can score all the points in the world...but that dont win games. Hashtag Lackers are done lol!! Get of lbjs balls. 27points 8 boArds 7 assist 2steals a game... Damn fuck leadiing the league in scoring...
ReplyDeleteGet him a tissue^^^
DeleteHe never gives up..true laker warrior...there will never be another kobe for us lakers fans.
ReplyDeleteTrade kobe for james harden and lakers would be true contenders no doubt. Kobe just there ruining the nash/dwight chemistry, which will cause dwight to leave after this year. Trade kobe, keep dwight.
ReplyDeleteKobe was jus another role player that WAS compared to mj but he is ol n ass got a allstar team under .500 lol did lbj team start like this when they got put together kobe career its ova he just gon jack up shots so he can score30 so he can say he did his part
ReplyDeleteIs lebron james owner of 5rings...is he looked for in the fourth quarter the most..is he a winner..no didn't think so..so stop gettin it twisted wit kobe an lbj..an yea his career is over wen he's outperformin heats 2 guard..
DeleteHas james been in the league 17 years?? Dubass...
Deletenah an he won't be becuz he only depends on his speed for his offense..he's gunna be old an slow as fuck on his 17 year..an look at the "dubass"...don't even know how to spell like I've said to that kid MHP I'm gunna tell u..stay in school an say no to drugs kid..
DeleteYou want to go there with the spelling?? Haha nice. Sooo what were you "gunna" tell me? Ohh, and lebron wont be good "becuz" he depends on speed? Ohhh, okay. I better get back in school, my spelling is a little of. Been awhile since ive graduated.
DeleteYea but "becuz" still sounds like "because" an "gunna" still sound like "gonna" so its not half as bad ass tryin to say "dumass" an spellin it "dubass"..u mind tellin me what the fuck is a "dubass" u dipshit..only bringin that shit up "because" you chokin on wat I said..
DeleteYou know your arguement is shit when your comeback is, "you forgot an m when u spelt dumbass, stay in school and say no to drugs".
DeleteLebron dont look like he just uses his speed when i see him he a playmaker makes his team better kobe shit i dont see him doing that taking all them shots and dont say thats not kobe job or position lbj play the 3 n 4 and sets his team up lbj the face of nba
DeleteHow is my argument shit??there obviously lil kids so why even argue with them when they're still in school..an kobe makes his shots...name another laker that can be as streaky as kobe..an lbj no matter what he is.he is still the point forward..offense runs thru him as well as it runs through kobe accept he doesn't make the plays he finishes themm..
DeleteLittle kids? Ive been outta school for 7 years my man. Haha try again.
Delete213 NBA u must don't really watch basketball if Lebron not a winner wat is he. Lebron finally got a team n a ring he a get more. U Laker fans act like Kobe won 5 by his self dismissed Shaq then dismiss 3 rings I mean shaq was Final MVP each year. N never would lebron be slow in his 17th year will not as slow as Kobe he's to Athletic. U kids need to really look at stats. Ur such a good player but ur team is under .500 lol y'all should be worry bout clippers n thunders smacking y'all ass.
Delete^^^ exactly
DeleteLebron had shaq an still didn't win shit together..explain that shit to me..
DeleteYeah shaq was the go to guy n the 4th, shaq hit free throws, shaq defended the other teams best player, shaq dribbled the ball up court himself and passed it to himself n the post.....ok
DeleteWade did it with shaq too. By the time shaq got to the cavs his days were over.
DeleteOnce Kobe is gone.
ReplyDeleteI think that'll be the of the Lakers!!!!
U fukin idiot the lakers are a dynastie a will continue to be as long as their is an nba.
DeleteJeremy Lin is the best player
ReplyDeleteAnonymous shut the Fuck up
ReplyDeleteNiggas that like the lakers sounding so mad rite face it the lakers cant hang with none of the top teams and their going to lose d12 the lakers been ass ever since they got swept by dallas 2 season ago thunder out the west
ReplyDeleteOkay I just read every single comment on here and almost every one of them has misspelled words so to tell people stay in school get off drugs makes no sense of you can't even spell the word "off" correctly. Now back to the topic at hand, Kobe is trying to show his teammates that he is real, he has thoughts and wonders what if this is the end, he doesn't want to go out this way. If he has to shoot 30 shots plus a game then he will. I'm a true Lakers fan as well and we do not have a bench to keep is in the game. Our depth goes as far as Jamison, Hill, Duhon, and Meeks. Which both Duhon and Meeks are young players and have a lot to learn. And as far as LBJ playing 17 years like Kobe he will eventually get run down like Kobe. Pay attention people he said it himself he is in his prime, peak level of play how long do you think that will last? And one more note Boston almost beat them last year with a not 100% squad, so for LBJ to get 5 or more rings good luck to him. But don't ever count out the power that purple and gold has. LAKERS FOR LIFE!
ReplyDeleteThank u. If ibj is n his prime now then thats definitely not a good thing for the future the way wade and bosh looks right now. Kb24 on the other hand still looks like he is n his prime at 34! Niggas act like shaq wouldve had rings without kobe and 1 ring by lebron dont mean shit. It dont matter wat lakers record is right now either way u clowns r witnessing greatness right now from kobe...not even m.j. played this great after 17 seasons. Lebron aint fuckin wit him.
DeleteI don't know why everybody has to compare Kobe to Lebron. They play two different styles, Kobe is a shooter/scorer and Lebron is a distributer who can score when needed too. I don't know if Lebron will match Kobes ring total, its possible though. Kobes competitive drive is what Lebron doesn't have. LBJ just doesn't have that fuck everybody type mentality when it comes down to winning a game hes still trying to pass up that last shot if he can.
DeleteLebron is gonna win more championships . No doubt , kobe is no where near his prime . He's still one of the best closers but not like he used to be . Lakers are done this season . They have 3 stars , 2 of which are former MVPs and a center that's used to be best in the game . and they still can't make it work ? Kobe is old and will wear down by all star break . Nash has to many back problems and howard is acting like a fucking rookie . Congrats on kobes career but its pretty much over
ReplyDeleteYa its over, if they would have signed phil kobe would have a legit chance at his 6th. But us non laker fans can thank buss's ego for that one. lakers better hope dwight signs with them or else its going to be dead there for a long time to come. All the other stars seem to have found their home.
ReplyDeleteRemember: STATS ARE DECEIVING. Fuck triple doubles.
