You do realize they call him that because his last name is James, right?![]()
Nash can say that though. You're not allowed to say it about yourself. And if you do, you damn sure better lead em somewhere.
LeBron James and Kobe Bryant are the ONLY 2 players in the NBA who finished in the Top 5 in the NBA in points scored and also finished Top 20 in total assists.

You do realize that he STILL calls himself King and proved it. That quote was thrown in the bushes by him. Let it go breh![]()
Except that Kobe gave his reason for saying that during the same interview. It's just that people like to cherry pick the quote and make it out to be something it's not.
They asked him the "Who's team is it" question, and Kobe gave the answer he did so that they wouldn't keep bringing up the question throughout the entire season, he was trying to dead that shyt before it started. Like I said the ONLY person who gave a different answer was Dwight.
That's just the media twisting shyt for the sake of attention. They did the same thing two Dwight where he gave an interview and was talking about how his teams in Orlando were underdogs made up of a bunch of people that nobody wanted an that got turned into him trashing his teammates. The person who was interviewing Dwight even came forward and said people were twisting his words but they just ran with it.
Some of these reporters in the media are scum.
Kobe's answer shoulda been:
For him to say what shoulda been obvious tells me he was trying to convince himself more than anything.
Or he took the bait and the reporter made an ass of him. :mjhaha:
That pretty much is what he did. The FIRST thing he said was "That's a silly question".
People also gloss over the fact that he gave the rest of his team props in the same interview.
But I guess you would of actually had to have seen the interview to know that.![]()
That's a struggle comparison. LeBron did it shooting over 10 percentage points better from the floor and Kobe was passing for selfish reasons. That's like giving charity simply for the write-offs.
Besides, one guy led his team to a chip, the other guy's team was the laughing stock of the league.![]()
Why didn't Kobe let Nash facilitate the offense?
Kobe should have just said "just leave man, I got this"
Bron stans are so fukking lame
Missed this earlier....
They tried letting Nash run the offense. Team's just started doubling Nash as soon as he touched the ball so he had to give it up.
Biggest lie some of yall keep pushing is that Kobe turned Nash into a spot up shooter. Nash averaged 7 assists last season, nobody does that as a spot up shooter.
Nash and Kobe took turns running the teams offense. Kobe played facilitator more than usual while Nash played off the ball more than usual.
The "Kobe should have done ___" argument is stupid anyway considering he did damn near everything that was asked of him this season. He played off the ball, he was a facilitator, he pulled down rebounds when needed, he guarded the fast PG's when asked.
Only thing you can criticism Kobe for last season was his off the ball defense. He straight up ignored the man he was supposed to be guarding for 98% of the season.
