You do realize that MOST this shyt is the reporters asking him about it incessantly.

They were doing the exact same thing with Dwight and his back, Shaq and his toe....That's just how the media is when it comes to the Lakers.

Yeah I don't think he's creating it but he's undeniably milking it for all it is worth. When he misses practice or shootaround, the media starts talking crazy like there is serious doubt he will play even though everyone knows he is going to be out there.

He could come out and say "hey guys calm down, I miss some practices and shootarounds even when I'm 100% just so I can pace myself for the long season, my injury is nothing that other guys on my team aren't playing with tonight too, I'll be fine" Instead he makes himself unavailable and lets the media frenzy take place then puts himself into the lineup and shrugs off all questions about it with curt answers like "I'm fine" "I'm 100%" and everyone assumes he is playing through something serious and talks about him like he's some kind of warrior. If he was a real warrior, we never would have known he had a boo boo.

Lots of players are notorious for this shyt but I found it incredibly ironic that Lakers fans were furious when LeBron went home during shootaround before a Lakers game last year and let the rumors swirl then he came out and destroyed the buildings. How can they hate on a practice that Kobe has revolutionized?

Knew this was going to be a multi-page thread.

Order:

-Kobe gets injured
-People get worried online doctors misdiagnose injury
-Kobe says he doesn't know if he's playing
-Stans praise toughness
-Bilz says he's playing up injuries
-Reality is somewhere in between
-Kobe plays
-Everyone dissects game

Repeat.

Yo Bilz for real, STFU. I can usually see where you're coming from (not agreeing) most of the time but right now youre sounding stupid.

He's an idiot.

Your intelligence isn't shining either. You're appalled that someone in LA wouldn't like the Lakers even though you're in Miami and hate the Heat and Ski Hat is from Plymouth Rock and hates his local teams in favor of the Yankees/Cowboys/Lakers bandwagon trifecta.

The Lakers are a WORLD order
The Cowboys are AMERICA'S team.
