11/25 Kobe SIGNS 2yr Extension!

[FTBS]

The funniest part is to imagine if Dwight had resigned, this would have been brutal

Is it too crazy to think that Kobe had this in mind when he made that "pitch" to Dwight last year? What are the chances that they re-sign Howard AND bring Kobe back or bring him back at this price? Dwight took less money to get away while Chess Not Checkers Bryant just cashed out again.

This will go down as his second successful rape.

Bean is an evil genius.

All that needs to happen is for gawd to save Odom's life from addiction and Kardashian living, smh it's sad how the life of Clandestine Odom became....

Just like Mike

Maybe Vanessa dresses him too? Stonewash Bean is only 5 years away.

Maaaaaan, there's no way Kobe's fashion sense is as bad as Mike's. I refuse to believe it.

Kobe said "Yall find a way. Pay up bytches"

real talk

nikkas acting like we didn't win 5 titles with Kobe making 20 milly/yr

only co0ns don't collect their worth and put more money in the white man's pockets

Lakers had to take a pretty calculated risk. You could risk Bean just saying "fukk it" and retiring if was offered $10 million. The Lakers' business model would collapse at that point. Some of you forget that the Lakers had a 320 game sellout streak end this year mainly because Kobe was out. Unfortunately, with the new TV contract and the rabid fanbase, just turning off a revenue stream as big as Kobe is a non-starter.

This was just as much about the Lakers riding the wave and keeping money in there pockets as much as it was paying Kobe.

Not white.

its impossible for you to be black considering you used the term "race card" like you did

only cacs actually believe that race is something you can just pull out and play like a card

Because we didn't.

Kobe made 9 mil in 2000, 10 mil in 2001 and 11 mil in 2002.

 

[CantStop]

Easy to spot the cacs. They're the ones in the thread mad at Kobe for cashing out instead of being mad at the front office.

Awesome i'm cool with this. This will keep the team mediocre and unthreatening for the other West teams to deal with.

 

[THE MACHINE]

Its threads like these that separate the Kobe fans from the Laker fans.

Laker fans: Good for Kobe but I wish we could have got him cheaper. The organization had the leverage, bad move from management

Kobe fans: He deserves the entire cap, look at the money he brings in.

No concept of salary cap, just blind stanning

 

[Trojan 24]

Kobe is a egomaniac, top paid player in the league

That why I love him though

Guess we'll just have to start making plans for the Love, Young Sabo reunion.
