Kobe is so full of crap. Yes he should be mad for Shaq being lazy but he conveniently leaves out that he cost the Lakers the title in 2004 and then drove Shaq out of town due to jealousy. Had he been more mature they would've gotten at least 4 titles together and probably at least one more. Shaq was done after the 2007 season so the max number of titles together would have been 6-7. (Unrealistic but still possible).

Problem is Kobe did not want to be second fiddle and didn't realize time was on his side. He could have won a bunch more titles with Shaq and then won titles as the #1 guy once the Lakers moved on from an aging Shaq. Instead Mr. Big Alpha Dog Black Mamba leaves that out and blames Shaq.

Tough love. As it's always been between these two.

It's not myth tho...the video is right there. And wayyy too many accounts, from cosigner's not named Kobe Bryant. More fact than fiction.

My, man, you said Kobe’s way ahead of the field, past and present, in competitive mentality. In a league that’s featured a bunch of ultra competitive guys, like Bill Russell, Jerry West, Magic, MJ, etc. I honestly don’t think it’s possible that Kobe’s competitive mentality could be on another level than those guys. There’s no video or anecdotes that can convince me otherwise.

And I do think part of the reason Kobe gets so much acclaim for his competitiveness is that he himself has put a lot of energy into talking about how competitive he is. Tim Duncan turned himself from a lanky swimmer in the Virgin Islands into one of the best basketball players and most skilled bigs of all time, winning 5 rings along the way. No way he does that without an off-the-charts competitive drive. But he was quiet about it.
 
I just realizes how much better it is hooping in a baggy jersey/shirt. Used to hoop in fitted tanks/ shirts.

Former NBA All-Star and reigning BIG3 MVP Joe Johnson is in Philadelphia preparing for a workout Thursday with the 76ers, a source told ESPN's The Undefeated.

Johnson, 38, also is receiving interest for potential workouts from the LA Clippers, the Milwaukee Bucks, the Denver Nuggets and the New Orleans Pelicans. Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry and executive vice president David Griffin watched Johnson play in the BIG3 league in New Orleans last week.

I had completely wrote him off after he was terrible in Houston in what should’ve been a perfect fit. We’ll see.

Melo should give it a go next year :nerd:

How on earth was that a good fit? Hes Iso Joe while Houston's offense is literally just harden dribbling the damn ball all game. Let's not forget how well he played his role on a team that actually played team ball (Utah)
