Kobe "I want to be traded" Part 1

[sjdrifter72]

You know what? After that idiot Jew Stern screwed the Lakers over the Chris Paul trade and then Lamar Odom being traded to Dallas (of all teams) for practically NOTHING, I wouldn't be surprised if Kobe once again demands a trade out of LA. I sided with him the first time and would support him again because the team has been downgraded significantly that at present they don't have a shot at a championship. As a Laker fan I hope this doesn't happen but I'm dreading it's around the corner.

[kikidirects]

@imsljr240 "his team failed him" lol common!!! LeBron does good in the regular season. He did good in the playoffs but it all comes down to the FINALS! Who cares what he did before. He fails to execute when he HAS TO. He freezes up when needed. I'm not a LeBron hater I just hate that people keep giving this dude excuses!! he's a great player ain't no doubt about it. Lol and I can BET if Kobe was Lebrons age and he was in a team with Bosh and DW they would have won that finals series.

[bigbrogiant4]

What a difference four years make lol

[kingaeonsage9012]

@JS19SJ408 You want to know the funny thing....Its been about 2+ years since Kobe won a match-up between him & lebron....so I greatly believe that if they meet in the finals, with a healthy Udonis Haslem you might be seeing that ring people say lebron can't get....& mo williams, antawn jamison, jj hickson, delonte west, ilgauskas combine for 5 all star selections(4 if you consider mo williams being a replacement) are you really comparing them to the all stars on the Lakers???? Think about it

[2pacisthebest90]

@kingaeonsage9012 lmfao a healthy udonis haslem.. gtfo outta here mna.. the bulls have been hurt the whole year, so have the celtics.. celtics lost 17 games cuz of injurys and heat still3rd seed lmao gtfo otutta here heat suck

[kingaeonsage9012]

@2pacisthebest90 nice tryna avoid the fact that this whole shit got to do with kobe & lakers *claps*

[LRGenesis]

Everyone talks about how Lebron sucks because he can't lead his team to a championship. Lebron never had anyone like Gasol or O'Neal. Look at when Kobe won his championships, it was only when he had Gasol and Shaq. When he didn't have other superstars, he was just like Lebron! Don't be hypocrites laker fans...

[jlimproj]

@LRGenesis i dont know how many fucking times people have to say this.......

Everyone has at least 1 other star on the team when they win a championship. Thats exactly why lebron didnt win a championship, because everyone else on his team were either average or crappy. Look at his team now.....3 all stars on the team and yet they still suck.

[kikidirects]

@LRGenesis KB Never left he wanted to but didnt & hearing this interview he was being done dirty . U really can't compare the 2 if Lebron went to a Team with another big man then ok but common! LeBron straight up tried to take the EASY route and still failed. whats the next excuse? does miami need a 4th all-star? u really can't compare the 2 Just like People Hate when they compare KB to MJ I HATE when people compare LeBron to KB. no disrespect to U though. those are FACTS.

[imsljr420]

@kikidirects : they gave kobe pau gasol...why would he leave?..lebron didn't get any help in cleveland...they next excuse is miami needs a better coach..but the major thing is lebron needs to step up...all the years people were saying he had no help in cleveland wasn't an excuse it was the truth. magic series he played great, games 1-4 vs boston he played great his team failed him.

[leaht1]

If Kobe would've been traded to another team, he wouldve just been another average team star ..

[termanogue]

@leaht1 True, because being a star on the lakers is something completely different than any other franchise. I mean even the bench players resume gets bolstered after joining the lakers. (Although Phil jackson also plays a factor in that too, since it's been statistically proven that his teams improve statistically when he steps into the team or when other players come into the the teams that he's coaching.)

[lshocket]

That LeBron is chicken for changing teams. Kobe would never do something like that.

[dmun5587red123]

@lshocket Kobe was going to do that...he just didnt cuz he plays for the lakers in the sunny weather in LA. If kobe was never traded to the lakers, and still playing for the Hornets (ringless), you, I, and all of us know Kobe would be crying as well, and would leave Charlotte (new orleans).

[termanogue]

@lshocket yea, at least kobe wasn't throwing himself under the bus by promising the city a championship ring then asking for a trade. On top of that I'm pretty sure he wouldn't televise himself leaving.

[lshocket]

@termanogue You're right Kobe didn't do that. I would also point out however that Lebron didn't have Pau Gasol gift wrapped to him. All I'm saying is that Lebron and Kobe are similar and that only their circumstances differ (Kobe also got Shaq in his prime). Now that Lebron has forced his way on to a good team it's time to nut up or shut up. I not a Lebron fan, but it's annoying when people with a clear bias use one event to paint the entire picture. Lebron is not the anticrist, I'm pretty sure.

[357dutcheboy]

yo that dunk on that pic waz krazy over nash

[Mikey1724]

uh lol

in the picture nash is probably saying in his head

"damn kobe get your cock away from my face"

[thatonebritishkid100]

Kobe needs a new challenge , get him to the bulls =D

[foureleven666]

You Laker fans are like women who get cheated on and then take the guy back cause your so desperate!! I guess if LA isn't happy if Kobe isn't happy!

[LakersDynasty42]

I didn't want Kobe to get traded but if he did I would've been fine with it. We would've gotten Hinrich, Gordon and Ben Wallace in return. The Lakers almost traded him to Chicago but he nixed the deal.

[RealDeal336]

ben wallace is sorry as hell

[LakersDynasty42]

Ben Wallace was still good back then and his contract would've expired in a few years. That would've allowed us to get some younger players.

[lakershd]

We wouldn't have won a title if we let Kobe leave.

[dissok7411]

LAKERS BABY! KOBE GREATEST EVER!

[LakersDynasty42]

"GREATEST EVER"?

[nbaportland123]

shaq shud av stayed in L.A i think he left coz kobe wanted to be top dogg.

[EkteBoy]

LOL the guy dont know how to carry a team,kobme needs HELP

good thing gasol is there for the rescue

[8ballsix27]

every great player needs help or has a second person. LeBron still doesn't legitmately have one. Jordan had Pippen. Kobe had Shaq. Now he has Gasol. No one player can carry a team. The proof is LeBron and Cleveland.

[lakershd]

Agreed, Kobe also has Lamar Odom who plays like Pippen, and Bynum.

[LakersDynasty42]

The Lakers are the 2nd winningest franchise in NBA history. We would've won eventually.

[lakershd]

we don't have a guy that can create his own shot on the perimter

[LakersDynasty42]

That's what free agency is for.

[lakershd]

they still wouldn;t have won it without Kobe, what kind of Laker fana re u if u hate on Kobe

[LakersDynasty42]

(Sigh) I don't "hate" Kobe, my point is that if we got rid of him we would've still been able to get another superstar eventually. The Lakers have won 15 championships and play in a large market so losing him wouldn't have been the end of the world.

[dafoo28]

@lakershd WTF lamar odom dont play like Pippen,Pippen was a mear image of Jordan & is way better than odom

[twinkywinky711]

@EkteBoy you dont know grammar.

[MrBawsT]

@EkteBoy damn you must have your head in your ass now....

[steveoistheman]

i punched a fucking wall lol look how it ended up though =)

[lakersrdabest]

i remember this

i was with my PE teacher (i was in 8th grade) and i was listening to this instead of doing PE

i was sooooooooooo sad

[XMaj3sticX]

kobe is the greatest offensive player ever. he is also one of the top defenders in the game today. he has perfected his game.

[bmcc85]

akuoyne is a fuking racist

[lilbawla69]

Wow. The first five minutes reveal a different story, the real reason why Shaq was traded. Why weren't those five minutes played on national tv"?

[akuonye]

because whites refuse to show that whites were the blame

[pqh32]

kobe=knicks

[24Betterthan23]

This was one od the saddest days of my life........

[USCandLAKERS]

[23airD]

[AndyQ24]

[mr3ric]

[Dijuan]

[cdacoceo]

[USCandLAKERS]

[bakuproduction23]

unstopbale

medvedenko is also one ofthe best dunkers in the nba

[Elinoel]

Kobe to the Knicks. Its only a matter of time

[dagreatwall]

Kobe belongs in LA!!!!!!!!!!

[bidillers]

HE WILL STAY!

[oneluv24]

kobe is a liar lol

[dominicanair23]

Kobe Bryant wants to be traded. And you know what I say? You made your bed, now lie in it (or is it lay?). He's the one who signed the contract with the Lakers. And no matter what he says, he had to have had a hand in trading Shaq. Look who the Lakers got for him. Are you telling me that the Lakers did that on their own accord? The Lakers are saying Kobe wanted them to trade Shaq. Kobe is saying the Lakers did it on their own. I think it's a little bit of both.

Mr. Ballhog

[USCandLAKERS]

You're an idiot. Don't talk about something you are not informed about. He signed the contract because they said they were trying to get a team together right now, not rebuild. I doubt you even listened to the video and if you did then that is some serious fanboyism right there.

[liljoe23la]

fuck kobe dont go

u went so far for dis team

jerry west betta come bak or ill spit on em

[akuonye]

"is there anything the los angeles lakers can do to keep you?" NO! hahaha

[TreyVfromLBCisBACK]

Angent that has to be the dumbest shit I have ever read. Lakers went 3-0, now they don't need Kobe? LMAO! What a fuckin joke. Didn't realize a 3 game win streak erased everything he has done for us in the past.

[Angent3]

ur a dumb fuck u probs dnt remember the start of the season. wat i said excatly happen u dick

[Angent3]

At the start of the 06-07 season kobe was injured and lakers were undeafted odom was averaging 25 points 15 rebounds and 6 assists per game now ever since kobe came bak they lost and his stats have gone. So odom proved dat lakers dnt need kobe

[PharaohMC]

AGREED!

[humper3000]

I dont know without kobe lakers wouldnt be the same and odom isnt kobe he cant carry a team himself

[proactive360]

kobe,i love you man,i wish the best for you

[FLEMStheNAME]

This guy is my favorite player in the nba in my favorite team in the NBA. I dont wanna stop cheering for lakers so kobes gotta stay!

[B2UProductions]

Discuss behind the scenes? Fuck that!

They didn't think about discussing it behind the scenes when they said Kobe got Shaq traded when it was Buss.

They lied to him to get him to sign back, he did the right thing.

[TreyVfromLBCisBACK]

If he left it might be for the better? You aint no fuckin Lakers fan dumbass.

[lehut]

I'm saying, a professional wouldn't just be putting this out there. All he is doing is pushing for LAL to get Jerry West. He's whinig to get what he wants man. No other way to put it.

A Professional would discuss this behind the scenes witht he org and stuff.

TreyV, yea, I was being too passionate. If he left it might not be for the better but I am just kinda disappointed as to how Kobe is handling this.

[akuonye]

you idiot they have sources, the news would have got out anyways you dumb fuck.

[TreyVfromLBCisBACK]

That is not what he wants. He wants to win. If you truly loved Kobe would know that is not what he is all about. If it was we wouldn't even be having this convo. The Lakers lied to the man and he is pissed. They need to get a team together while he is still in his prime. That is what they said they would do instead we got Smush Parker and Kwame Brown.

[lehut]

I love Kobe, and all. BUT Come on! WTF are you complaingi about? 3 rings, ferraris, a fucking castle, everything, and he comes off as the biggest baby in this interview.

I love Kobe, but if he left, dammit, it might be for the better.

[Shocka161]

that just goes to show you that kobe isnt about the cars or his castle or all taht... he does it cuz he loves the game of basketball... its his life.

[kb824fan]

honestly, if lakers don't get some players that can help kobe, i would like to see kobe go

[dwaynewadesucks]

Kobe is the most unselfish nba player

[OmniEversor]

...That's just flat out wrong. I'm not one of those people who believe he's selfish (if I had to rely on Sasha, or Kwame to make shots, I wouldn't pass either), but Kobe is by no means the most unselfish NBA player.

[kb24and8]

there's some good free agents out there but i doubt that thay'll sign them

[TreyVfromLBCisBACK]

KOBE PLEASE DONT GO!!!
