Kobe Says MJ23, KD, Westbrook And He Share Rare Trait

[Da King]

LOL @ Kobe putting himself in the same sentence as MJ

Cool, however Ali gave himself his nickname. "The Greatest" is his nickname no matter how you feel about it breh. It is what it is.

This is kinda off topic but since you were actually alive to witness dude's career, I thought I should ask. Was he still calling himself the greatest at the end of his career when he was getting knocked senseless by and a few others?

Yup It's a difference between Ali talking shyt saying "I'm the Greatest of all time" then people began calling him that, and Kobe researching a snake and it attributes(which do not compare to him) and giving himself a nickname.

That's like me saying" I'm the greatest poster"in my posts then people start calling me that. Versus making a screen name titles "the greatest poster".

Nicknames are terms of affection thus the reason why you don't create your own. Unless you a .

One of the most contrived personalities the game has ever seen and he says he doesn't give a fukk what people think?

Exactly

 

[nyknick]

Kobe=black mamba, no comparison. nikka just thought it sounded cool. Black mambas strike w/ 99% accuracy........

Man law #25 you can not create your own nickname.

2. Kobe's new nickname
An actual excerpt from Ric Bucher's ESPN The Mag cover story about Kobe and Phil (and no, I'm not making this up):

"Granted, there's still a dark side that Bryant embraces. He's known in his inner circle as Mamba, which, he is happy to explain, is a kind of snake that can grow to 13 feet and is one of the world's quickest, and one of the most venomous, serpents. He referred to this summer as the 'blackout,' in which the snake grew a new skin through a seven-days-a-week conditioning program."

Wait, there's more!

Here's Kobe explaining his new nickname: "The mamba can strike with 99 percent accuracy at maximum speed, in rapid succession. That's the kind of basketball precision I want to have. Not being able to train the last two summers, I was in a gunfight with a rusty butter knife. I did my share of killing, but I was just fighting to survive."

So Gasol ain't injured, he's just going through all the books about snakes trying to find something about Mambas passing the ball so he can show it to Kobe.

 

[#1 pick]

I agree

You know what's funny about people slandering Kobe for taking credit for giving Westbrook and Durant that attitude? Durant agrees with Kobe himself.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Kobe Bryant isn’t being a vain superstar when he takes credit for instilling a fight-through-it mentality in Kevin Durant.

He’s telling the truth, Durant said.

You ever hear MJ speak on Kobe virtually Jacking his whole steez since day one in the L. Jordan fathered basiclly, multiply generations of ball players games.

The point is, you let it be said about you(nickname), you don't need to point it out or at least wait till you retired and nikkas is shyt'n your era(ex wilt, Oscar).

Lol at Kobe putting that out there. So if Durant drops 50 on him, Kobe can hang his hat on that he instilled the fight in KD. Like he's watching his son grow up. Foh

So Gasol ain't injured, he's just going through all the books about snakes trying to find something about Mambas passing the ball so he can show it to Kobe.

lol And gasol better not find that fact or Kobe gone have a new nickname with the quickness.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Kobe Bryant isn’t being a vain superstar when he takes credit for instilling a fight-through-it mentality in Kevin Durant.

He’s telling the truth, Durant said.

“I watch guys and I just look at their facial expressions and their body language and I observe them,” Durant, the star Oklahoma City forward, said after the Thunder’s shoot-around Friday. “You look at Kobe, they could go on a five-game losing streak and he could shoot 30% and he has a poker face. He doesn’t let it affect him. You can tell he’s going to come out that next game and play his hardest and go out and produce.

"I’ve been watching him since I was 8 years old. To see that year in and year out and see the success he’s had, you just try to emulate him a little bit. He has that attitude like he doesn’t care, just go out there and play his game, and that’s what I try to do."

Who goes around saying they are responsible for other men's success that are on the same level as them? Let that man say that about you. Ole I taught him that ass nikkas. He aimt his daddy.

Edit: nikka I know all that anyway. Just how KD was up under him in the last Olympic games.

Fool I aint keeping score. I'm looking at how grown men act and apply'n it to the situation.

 

[Bilz]

If Westbrook or Durant has a bad shooting game in the playoffs, I hope volunteers to take credit for that too.
