figured it's good enough to just paste what i said in the offseason thread:

the haters who think kobe is stupid, just dont realize he understands he's in the twilight of his career, he understands that D12 is a tad feminine with his tendencies.. Kobe, is going to make dude feel right at home, and ride him to title #6 possibly retire going off into the sunset.. kobe may be a lot of things,, dumb isn't one of them

:ehh: i mean damn.



:thumbsup: we bout to shyt on yall teams.

dont take kobe words as 100% truth just yet. once kobe calls it. sure it obviously is his team. but he's saying that for 2 reasons.
#1 phil jackson taught him how to play mind games to get your best players to be at their best. some guys need to be clowned in front of everyone. other guys need their ego's rubbed. dwight is one of the later. he didnt want to come to los angeles because of the bigman legacy he would have to uphold. ego needs caressing. he didnt want to come here per some rumor about kobe telling him he would be his tyson chandler(aka a hustle guy and nothing more). kobe now gets it. make him FEEL like this is his team. and everyone will still know who's team it is until #24 hangs em up in a couple of years.

#2. he's doing something that shaq SHOULD"VE done for him but never did. hand the team over gently. dont fight it. you're getting older, the young boy is growing up and turning into a monster. let him grow.

Magic had aids and nikkas ain't even wanna catch his passes but it wuz still his team in the eyes of everybody in Cali and outside of Cali....this is cute for Kobe to say and he probaly gotta say it til the ink dry on the contract next season....Dwight gotta wait a few yrs and the keys is his.

And Shaq wuz tryna play them xen mind games Phil taught em....I believe he wuz tryna just motivate Kobe and failed horribly:laff:...leave that shyt to the Zen Master shaq...u can't try to motivate sumbody who trains harder than u,has the utmost confidence in they skills and plays harder then you by questioning they talent.

That's all talk right now.

Let's see how he feels when his possession rate drops by 30%.
