Kobe tells Lin to "GET THE F*** OUT MY WAY!"

he is just a role player, better as sixth man

 

Costs 15 mil to Les and other owners but 8.33(?) to you and me. By that logic, he was probably worth the 5mil we paid him per year and then some.

His handles are pretty terrible for a PG actually, but he doesn't have the size for a full-time SG.

 

Kobe on camera and tape : I want Lin to initiate the offense

Kobe off camera and in the huddle: Get out of my way and shut up


That's it in a nutshell

 

It took me a long time to respect Kobe, and now I am losing it.

At the risk of sounding like a Skip Bayless hot take, it sounds like Phil Jackson made him what he is. His teams without Phil have been pretty miserable for the most part, and he ran off the best center in the game and signed a cap crippling contract. He's surrounded himself with nothing but drama, and unlike MJ, I think he would be ring-less without Phil Jackson.
