Laker Haters & Kobe Haters Call To Arms! (The Haters Unification Thread)

It would blow me away if people thought differently[/QUOTE]
Bro, it's all kinds of people. I'm a Lakers fan so I know. I constantly have to hear this crap

I think translation is lost in who is the better player vs who had the better career. Lines blur there.

And in both cases it's 1A-1B.

 

Nah, man.

Saying that Kobe had nothing to do with not being a Bull is NOT an an opinion, nor is it incorrect. Management moves players. FACT. He can demand a trade, but teams trade players. If he demanded a trade and was traded, the FACT is that he demanded a trade, and MANAGEMENT obliged. Even if he DIDN'T want to be a Bull, management could have traded him.

It's not an opinion that Shaq and Kobe feuded. That's a fact. It's not an opinion that the feud sent Shaq packing. "Yeah, but this is the Kobe hate thread, so you're implying..." AH, AH, AH!!! FACTS only. Shaq and Kobe beefed. Shaq split.

"[O]ur Kobe-lead team was embarrassing" is an opinion because embarrassment/pride is a matter of  opinion, so yeah, you're right on that one. Not an opinion, though: the next one, that the 3 worst seasons in Laker history were Kobe's teams. 'Worst' is a matter of comparison, and comparison is a matter of fact, not opinion.

 

1A-15B

10 maybe.

 

See, I see stuff like this and just think, "So he had a run-in with Melo that prompted him to completely abandon the team concept and just go bananas for himself to get his own personal accomplishment of a scoring title. Sweet. "

 

This clown celebrating this 17th win in lieu of that most coveted 6th ring he really wanted!

 

Reminder: partially edited profanity won't fly.

f-boy is fine

Fuccboi/boy, fxxkboy/boi, fcckboy/boi... those won't work, because Fucc, fxxk, and fcck won't fly.

I see those words a lot in this thread. 

 

he had a no trade clause. reports say that the lakers were willing to accept the trade but kobe would not allow the trade to go though unless deng stayed in chicago. so he very literally stopped the potential trade from happening. I understand that this doesnt follow your narrative but we are only dealing with facts here and those are the facts, saying Kobe had nothing to do with not being a Bull is not an opinion it is flat out factually incorrect. 

kobe and shaq beefing is a fact. the beef being the cause for shaq leaving is not a fact. There were a number of reasons that added up to shaq leaving so saying kobe was THE reason for shaq leaving is also factually incorrect. 

this year and last were the two worst years in lakers history, 3 years back was the 4th worst. so "three of the worst records in lakers history" or "two worst seasons" or "worst 3 year span" would have been factually correct, however you went with "the 3 worst seasons" which is factually incorrect.

 

What bout **** boy? I've been using that one a lot

 

I see 4 stars and boy, so either you used profanity and the filter edited it out, which is fine, or you typed 4 **** and then typed boy, which is also fine.

That's really not a change in the rules; just a reminder of the way it's actually always been.

 

Asterisk boy is a personal favorite.

Example: Kobe is an asterisk boy.

 

i got banned years ago for asking a question for the very explanation you just gave.

one of the many reasons you're one of the best mods we have.

never above giving a clear cut answer that we all understand

anyway, hate on fellas....

 

Long as you get the point, I guess. 

 

My top 3 things against him:

Colorado

Rigged Kings series, litterally elbowed Mike Bibby in the face and Kobe got free throws out of it.  I know he didn't rig it personally but still might be the darkest day in NBA history.

Signing for like 48 million or something while injured.  Like why.

 

02 nba playoffs lakers vs kings

game 6

• lakers shot 40 free throws
• kings shot 25 free throws
• kings intentionally foul lakers 3 times at the end of game because they were losing. that means 6 free throws were shot by the lakers because the kings had to put them on the line in order to get the ball back
• that means the real free throw total was 25 to 34 which is +9 for the lakers.

game 5

• 23 for the lakers
• 33 for the kings.
• that is +10 for the kings
• shaq shot 1 free throw

 

Really? You're gonna hold Colorado against him when the girl admitted to lying?
Blame the refs.
Blame the organization for offering that kinda money to him.

 

No, he doesn't. The Lakers are a laughing stock because of the Buss kids and Byron. Kobe didn't run off Shaq. Sure, they beefed but Shaq admitted that the Lakers wanted to cut his pay and Shaq wasn't having that so he left. This guy doesn't even believe Kobe was ever the best player in the league? I wanna know who he believed was better between 06-10.

 

They kept giving him the damn ball. Byron instructed the team the night was all about Kobe, so that means give him the ball. What else was he gonna do? He passes the ball they're obviously gonna pass it right back. What else is left to do? Shoot it.

 

So many red capes :x

Acting like

 

Remember the thread title, thanks

 

I think the funniest thing that might was the D'Angelo missed open layup. He just knew he had it

 

SERIOUSLY! I was gonna answer back but then i seen that this dude went and responded to damn near everyone in this thread so it made me realize what time it was. Captain Save-A-Kob MANE!

 

Go ahead and respond. It was only 3 posts.

 

If you like to convince yourself that the reason Kobe shot 50 times was because that was the gameplan and he was just sticking with the gameplan like a good employee... 

Regardless of what Byron said or the players did, that dude was chucking. His career has shown that.

Like I've said before, it was only a few years ago that I remember people being like, "Damn, dude is going Kobe out there, ain't he?" whenever I would play ball and some dude was just chucking every time he touched it. Whether he made it or not, 'goin Kobe' meant 'forget everyone else; I'm on it, says me.'

And that's how he went out, the same way he did it for 20 years.

"Forget everyone else; I'm on it, says me."
