Kobe: The four star (and gold star) general

Ak Bk

Any chance to verify IP addresses from posters here?

Kobe needs to prove that come playoff time,he can stay the course( Sorry George)If he decides to play the way he did in Detroit..The Lakers will be in trouble.The first time the Lakers are struggling and Kobe tries to take over,the Lakers will lose.Remember..Kobe has never been an mvp..their is a reason...Kobe has to continue to be a leader and play the way he has this season..but remember we havnt seen Kobe do this in the playoffs...3/4 of the season is a start but lets see it in the playoffs...Also NO D...No ring.

Kobe! Kobe! Kobe! MVP! MVP! MVP!

Go lakers! Go Kobe! Blazing time. Smoke the Heat, lakers!!!

Never, make sure you started to record the Game.. I'm starting to love your DVR.. What will be the score?

50 BEFORE 20!

T.J. SIMERS? NO! KAREEM? YES!

NO MVP? NO PEACE!

GO LAKERS!

Kobe is one of the most under-rated leaders in the game.

Go Lakers!

Are you saying Harrison looked snickered?

Cause he did to me...

Anytime, man! I sure bet anything sounds better than "The Bench Mob". I still picture those Kings wannabees from a few years back. Try this link:

Here's an excerpt:

"...The Bench Mob (point guard Darrick Martin and shooting guard Barry are credited with creating the moniker) has become a vital extension of the team's identity.

The Mob is comprised of its primary group--Martin, Barry, small forward Peja Stojakovic, power forward Lawrence Funderburke and center/forward Scot Pollard--and a secondary group, defensive specialists Tyrone Corbin and Tony Delk, plus rarely used center Bill Wennington."

I used to hate those guys! The guys that come closest to mind today are the Phoenix Suns players. As Frank Perconte was once heard saying "[T]hey're all piss and vinegar". Hmm, come to think of it... how about SECOND PLATOON!

I'm feeling brother(ly) right now... to whomever's in charge of the BANDwagons... sign me up sir! I'm one of the replacements.

You don't want to start verifying addresses. Soon you'll be reading diaries.

Just trust buddy…it's the only alternative that makes sense...

WesJoe,

Let me put this way. I wouldn't have given him the keys to the Millennium Falcon. haha

AK

Charles
I'm not Phoenix Fan, what he or she couldn't go back or remember what you have written before. Are you calling P. Fan a dumb blogger

K.bros it's cool you can check the IP , so they can hear from you guys that I'm not P.F.

AK

Its not that kobe's image to his supporters are pristine. what bugs at least me, on writers that say that kobe finally "gets" it, is not because they are wrong, (indeed kobe had to go through that maturation process), but that they only see it now. the whole process of kobe "getting" it started after they lost to detroit. its just culminating now.

AK,
i think you spend more time on youtube than me! and thats alot!

I have to say Charles, I prefer openness to restrictions...

trolls are annoying but freedom has it's price...

monitoring IP addresses gives me a whole Big Brother vibe that seems unnecessary for an informal blog...

Amazing
how some people can hold grudges!

I don't have a problem with Charles, I say let bygones be bygones as a matter a fact I never had a problem with him even after he pretty much called me DUMB.
Charles is the one that can't let go.

In the mean time I'll take the advise and abuse of other bloggers here.

have a good one Charles

that was long, can I have a summary? lol. But seriously, long!

Predictions for a final score anyone?

Lakers 110 Heat 96

The Kobe / Gasol tandem is like two pit bulls going at it. Neither one knows how to stop responding to the other's aggression.

One makes a play--a great play by the other follows. One makes a stop, one blocks a shot.

One does something clutch, has a game defining play, and the other has to do the same thing.

When is this going to stop?

This is why we're not going to loose tonight.

Wes

AK/BK

you should charge import taxes on Fire32 and Sonnybelfast.

i understand if they come here with smack and one liners.

but if they take so much space/time and lakers fans attention to talk about funs&queens they should PAY for it.

Nice piece, AK...well thought out and presented. I don't completely agree, however for the following reason. During the 3peat years, when Kobe was surrounded by seasoned, battle tested teammates, he also played a more structured, team oriented style of ball. I don't remember him not trusting Derek Fisher, Big Shot Bob Horry or Brian Shaw when the game was on the line. Game knows game and those were the type of teammates that Kobe COULD trust. After the breakup of the 3peat era, the Smush/Kwame days forced Kobe to be a different player. He did what he had to do to keep the team on a competitive level until players such as Jordan, Sasha, Ronny and Baby were ready for prime time.

Without Shaq, most pundits opined that Kobe was somehow lacking in leading his team. Now with the current Laker success, he's universally regarded as having had an epiphany and now "getting it". I think that the truth lies somewhere in between.

I compare the situation with Kobe and his current teammates with a father teaching his son how to drive a car. Only after many fits and starts, and trials and error does Dad feel comfortable enough to hand Junior the keys and fall asleep on the passenger side while Junior drives the family home. The so-called maturation of Kobe Bryant has as much to do with his teammates as it does with him.

Does this mean you'll be replacing your Steve Nash poster in your bedroom with a Kobe one?

I'm glad to see you are finally coming around to see in Kobe what many of of us have seen for two years. jk -appreciate your thoughts.

Kobe has been a great leader in the past, but had no army to lead. He has become a General for the occasion. As he said this summer, give me the talent, and let me prove what I can do. He has.

I've been debating all year with myself as to who the real MVP is. I started with KG, and wavered between Kobe and Lebron. I still feel it is too early to vote, but since you cast your lot, I guess I can as well.

Its really close. But in this case, the tie goes to the runner.

Kobe is the MVP.

when you're a guard, they teach you to dribble low to minimize the chance that the ball may be strip out of your hands.

lamar's guard mentality probably causes him to barge into the paint dribbling as low as he can, as a result he gets in contact with the defenders chest resulting in those offensive fouls that we seee in almost every game.

if he were smaller, those would be blocking fouls instead

i think..

with the beggining of march nearing is there any new news on our golden child andrew? i know he was suppossed to run in a pool last thursday. did he do that? is he still comming back in the middle of march or in march altogether? you would think there would be a day by day progress. anyways, good news would be nice.

lakers win big tonight

GO LAKERS

LakerTom,

While we were the first ones to join your bandwagon last year, Korey, Faith and I would not want to jinx the Lakers this year. There is no need to announce where our hearts are. Besides, you're fickling between 55 to 60, that's how Seniors drive in the Southland freeways. lol!

Kobe's a sargent not a general. see the fall blogs.

as to him "getting it", that's just stupid. during the championship years, he always led the team in assists. is he getting better at including the rest of the team? why shore! he has to get better if he works on his game, which we know he does. the main difference now is that his teammates "get it". as good as the team that lost to detroit was, they didn't "get it" as a team compared to the previos 3 years, and they really didn't "get it" compared to the present squad....

They only check when it get's to hot on the blog!

By the way, where is our Canadian French fan, Guy Owanlele? He doesn't post anymore, I wonder whether he is still recording the Lakers on his VHS. Guy Ooooooh, are you still there? we're now about to fulfill our dream.

Kobe always had a different mind set came playoff time when he was 3peating with Shaq and all the veterans. When playoff time came, he became eminently coachable and did everything PJ asked him to do to win the championships.

This year, even in the regular season, Kobe has been playing toward the same single minded purpose to winning but he is listening better, taking a longer term view because he is acting as the leader for this still very young squad. Now he is the eminence gris-the gray eminence of his young teammates.

And he has seen how his young teammates have risen to the challenge reminding him of himself. AB came back after Kobe's slam on him and instead of wilting like a Kwame flower, AB exceeded expectations and became a force. Farmar reacted to the Lakers drafting Crit and welcoming back Fish by working harder and exceeding expectations. Turiaf came back from life threatening heart surgery. Sasha overcame his game jitters.

LO has responded to the Gasol trade in the most positive way possible. Mitch hunkered down through all the criticisms and came up with fabulous trades and high draft picks. Buss swallows the luxury tax hit. Kobe will be a Laker for life and this year marks his first regular season and playoff MVP awards.

neil,
kobe's play had nothing to do with losing to detroit in 04. KL an GUNNER tried to make this arguement several times last summer and were proven wrong over andd over again, and I'm sure plenty of posters would enjoy proving you wrong again.
Also I hope your "D wins championships" remark isn't a knock on kobe's D, because if it was, you'd be way off mark.

60 before 20

Baywood

I just want to go on the record:

The Phoenix Suns already at 19 losses will drop to a 7th or 8th seed -- and might not make the playoffs at all (Yao's injury probably saves them).

The Suns remaining schedule includes:

* At Detroit and Boston

* 4 back-to-backs for an aging team with essentially a 7-man rotation (inc two second games in Denver at altitude)

* Spurs x2, Denver x3, Golden State x2, Dallas and Utah in Phx, Portland x3

The Suns could easily lose another 10+ games.

How sweet would it be for Shaq to lead the Suns ... right out of the playoffs and into the lottery...?!

50 before 20 is 10-3.. not Championship level.

60 before 20 is!

Baywood

btw-
not that it really matters, but i was making noises during Kobe's summer of angst that the Lakers had made the terrible practice of taking the basketball people out of management decisions. well, i likely didn't know what i was talking about, or the team decided to go back to having basketball people run the team because this present roster is 180 degrees from what it was in summer.

thank you Jerry Buss and company.

The thing that has always made Kobe a leader is his intensity and work ethic. It has just been impossible for him to be a leader with no followers. If you were as driven as Kobe, it would be frustrating to put up with slackers. Kobe does not suffer bums politely.

Now that he has some people who are willing to work, they should appreciate Kobe's dedication. He leads by example. When we get a championship (not if, when - this year or next) it will in large part be due to the contagion of Kobe's drive and work ethic as well as people knowing that he will not be polite if you slack.

Who here thinks the Suns will knock the Lakers out of the playoffs again?

Lakers got another endorsement, this time from John Galinsky:

http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/powerRankings

We're not accustomed to being the No. 1. for almost a week now. Get used to these bragging rights we have some players to thank for: Smush, Cookie and Kwame, without your support of leaving the team we will not accomplish this dream.

They should abolish the MVP award, but if they don't, then they should give it to Kobe this year.

AK, I see you are still trying to reason with people who have invested their hearts into seeing Kobe as more than mortal. These folks need a hero so bad that they are willing to shut down their brains completely to get him. No one with a mind set like this will ever be swayed by any amount of arguments you put forth..therefore, you are a HORRIBLE KOBE-HATER for writing that article!.

Bench names:
'1.0.2 Lakers' or 'Lakers 1.0.2' --lets have a tech note to the name.

The Rad Pack

Chack's Army

The MVP is a curse! The team with the MVP has not won the title since Duncan back in 2003....

In my opinion, I consider the MVP race a tie between Chris Paul and Kobe. Paul is for real.

Great perspective (AK/BK)..sorry I didn't see who wrote the opening blah blah..anywho..im glad you didn't add the whole "Kobe makes his teamates better" mantra! I really hate that statement cuz I'm a firm believer that yu can't make a teammate better..they have to make themselves better by taking advantage of the situation there in and putting in the work to improve. Well done Padawans!

The best way to view this is to step outside of basketball.

Kobe Bryant is 29 years old.

It sounds old in basketball terms, but in life terms, he's just a kid. He's maturing, yes, but in the same way a 29 year old is still maturing and learning about his world.

He's not some punk who has suddenly changed his colors. He's just a young man about to enter his 30's.

Now some of you say that he should have matured by now, indeed, some seem to have that wisdom earlier - witness Jordan Farmar. But by and large, today's 30 is what 20 used to be in a rougher times. In a relatively peaceful world, we are getting married later, having families later, and maturing later.

I think Phil Jackson said it best when he said a few years back that he believed that "Kobe has a good heart". I don't think Phil would have come back if he didn't believe that. With that good heart, he knew that the wisdom would eventually come around to Kobe.

Instead of the bench mob (Sacto

I did reply and made 1 typo. "Bench" should have been "Bench Starters and I'll add "DA Bench". I kinda got on the Bench starters because of PJ's interview when asked about the bench. In short he gave props to other teams benches and same to ours. He said to have a strong bench you have to have starters willing to come off the bench. Hence Bench Starters etc. So Igree we should not use cowtowns bench nickname.

"i'm looking forward too see the lakers play. they are ballin' now: kobe, pau gasol...."

charles barkely TNT/halftime

My comment on D winning championships is not on Kobe's shoulder but the WHOLE team.Almost everyone on this blog looks at what a player does on offense not Defense.With that said the WHOLE team needs to be on the same page defensivly.Kobe still gambles too much and while it does account for steals,it doen'st help the overall D.Gasol is soft and Fisher can't stop fast guards(Who Can?)Meaning everyone needs to help each other.The Lakers of the 80's would shut down a team when it was time to do it.I have yet to see this kind of D yet.You watch a Bostongame or Detroit it is NOT their offense that is impressive it 's their D.So if the Lakers want the championship,its time to play D.!!!!

AK,

A splendid diatribe, perhaps your finest as a Laker fan, definitely your finest as a Kobe fan. And please accept that as a compliment from one of your more fanatical followers and admirers and occasional doubter. You are now a true Kobe and Laker fan. (Not to say that you weren’t before, lol)

I especially loved your discussion of the risk of losing, which is dead on in basketball as it is in poker and as it also is in life and business. I will acquiesce to your contrast of Kobe the leader this season versus prior seasons. Like everything else in this perfect storm of a Lakers season, it’s where we are right now which is all that really counts.

Good job, Andy. You should also post it on SportsHubLA, a venture that you guys should really be proud of. I love Ted Green and the article from David Neiman was the best comprehensive assessment of Kobe Bryant and his perfect storm season that I have read.

For the KBros Blog and SportsHubLA: Kudos and thanks,

Tom

Edwin,

This senior loves speed. The best thing about 80 or 90 is that you don't have to look in your mirror to change lanes. I am really into the 65 win bandwagon or the 81 win bandwagon if we add 16 more games. LOL.

Wes Joe, DrewPauKobe, and Ak,

You're right....

Great writing AK...you're very talented.

I do think that Kobe stepping his passing up and focusing on the team game has definitely been a result of the emergence of a solid group of players built around him. The addition of Derek Fisher has kind of given him a sidekick. He knows now that he is not the only senior on the team and that kind of feeling will guaranteed make anyone feel more at home or amongst their peers.

I do also think, however, that the entire reason guys like Jordan Farmar and Andrew Bynum and even Sasha improved so much this year was a direct result of Kobe's leadership and his high expectations. He knows that these guys can play and he drives them to play better. Now it is at the point where they have proven themselves capable in front of the cameras, so Kobe trusts them to the fullest and they will only continue to grow more confident over the years.

Kobe is laying the foundation for a competitive Laker team for years to come even after he retires. MVP indeed.

GO LAKERSSS!!!!

Put me in the 55-win bandwagon, dude. A little late to the party. But I'm here now. Lol.

Bronxlakerfan, great counterpoint to AKs write up. I believe Kobe had some learning to do about being THE leader, but maybe not so much about being A leader. He proved his leadership abilities during the three peat years, however he did not have all of the burden of team leadership on his shoulders.
After the championship team was dismantled Kobe remained as THE leader, and that was new territory. Has he done well as THE team leader? I believe so, but I also believe he needed to grow a bit in that area to get the team to championship level again.
This year he has done that and for that he deserves the MVP award.

Let me get this straight now FIRE32 is saying he is not a PHX fan when he has been riding SUNS jock since he got here and talkin trash about the SHOW? PLEASE!

We will see where this Laker team TRULY is when the play Dallas this Sunday. It's not good for the Lakers to be playing too man non-playoff teams. We need to keep our teeth sharpened. We need the best of the best to prove our mettle.

We will see this Sunday...

AK,
"along with the inevitable "Is he the next MJ" analysis "

Then why don't you do a "Was MJ the first Kobe" analysis instead?

>>>60 before 20

Stop thinking small...

80 before 20.

That allows them one loss from now to the championship.

FIRE what does your IP have to do with the junk youve been talking?

Sup bloggers!
How is everyone?
Just settling down here ready to watch the boys win 10 in a row!

This must be a first..i am actually wanting the MAVS to beat the SPURS.

Maybe be hard since Dallas doesnt play D.

But oh well, if they win, San antonio will be 1.5 behind us if we win..which we should!

Colorado ....second home of the LAKERS!

THE PINE CRUE.

Colorado loves the Lakers!

Lakertom

" I think we will see more of our three guard offense with Kobe at the 3. Think how smokin' that will be with Drew and Pau at the 5 and 4."

I agree with you, you have a great point here. How does opponents STOP Bynum and Gasol inside with Sasha, Kobe and Farmar all spreading the floor. Plus both Kobe and Farmar able to drive and create shots. Exciting! Very exciting times ahead for us Lakerfans..

PLUS, the biggest thing all five on the floor plays like Lebron, Manu, Parker Duncan, Nash type of high level competitive spirit needed to win in a Championship level. You can add Fisher and Turiaf in that category and the Lakers are the team to beat!

This Lakers team has become the exact character of their Leader, his demeanor has finally become the team's. I am very happy it finally came! Sweet!

Time to sit down and enjoy the game. Cheers!

Looking at the schedule i must agree that the SUNS could be an 7-8 seed, which means we would see them the first round!
I love how the schedule now favors us as the western powers beat up on each other..we get the lowly miami heat.

we need to put the heat away in 3 quarters by 30+ and rest the starters ALL of the fourth quarter...

we will need them tomorrow in Portland.

HUGo!!! sup buddy.

go lakers!..thats all

Lakers4Realz
What's up my brother? I'm still in Denver until tomorrow. I watched the Lakers/Blazers game at Tim-4-Shows crib.

I love the "Colorado ....second home of the LAKERS!"
Very true.

You KNOW Colorado loves the Lakers!

Lakers4Realz,

>>>This must be a first..i am actually wanting the MAVS
>>>to beat the SPURS.

Doesn't matter. Either way it goes helps. Sure the Spurs
are only a game back, but Dallas is only 2 games back.
So one of them inches 1/2 a game towards the Lakers and
the other slides 1/2 a game back. That's much better than
if they were both playing crappy teams tonight and could
both advance a 1/2 game.

I like "The Replacements"

Well... last time I wrote in this blog the final result of an incoming lakers game, they lost and it was against the Atlanta Hawks.

I made de mistake of posting: Lakers 10.. vs Hawks..8..

With this said, I rather keep myself out of posting final results in favor of the Lakers.

I just hope they come out really agressive because... the Heat are already starting to pick up somehow.

I have a really strong concern for the game in Portland... those kats are really confident about their game against this laker squad and it was because the Lakers allow 'em to start thinking about beating us in the previous game.

Although we have to enjoy one game at the time, I have to say...this one lakers vs heat, I've already enjoyed in my dream, on the PS3 while I left 'em play by themselves and you guys know the final result... LOL

Yeah the Lakers beat 'em 4 out of 4.

My prediction is: Someone will win tonight :)

Wow!! Can't wait for Kid to take on the entire Laker team in the playoffs, kick butt and take names. Mavericks rule and they will beat Lakers in playoffs. Jason Kid u da man!! NO wonder Kobe wanted him.

Sorry Laker fans..hehehehehehe!

This is what Im thinking.

If 1) Sasha can continue to hit 50% of his three point shots and 2) Gasol, Bynum and Lamar can all average a double double, then I think we win the championship.

I do. You put those two things together plus what Kobe's gonna give you and boom--we're gonna be giant killers.

Wes

Gerbear....

Thanks for the kind words. And your points about Kobe are well taken.

BronxLakerfan,

There were definitely instances with the threepeat team where Kobe had issues of trusting teammates. I remember specifically an ESPN The Magazine article where he said "I trust my teammates. I just trust myself more," which isn't exactly the most ringing of endorsements. I'm not saying this is the way it was 24/7 or that he didn't ever express faith in them. But I don't think it's completely accurate to say it's simply been a matter of him not trusting his second wave of less talented guys.

I do agree that it's not as simple as him having a sudden epiphany. There have been flashes of this in recent years (which, by definition, means it's not entirely unique), but never for this long, and in my opinion, this willingly and effortlessly. As you said, like most things, the truth lies between one extreme and the other.

AK

How `bout The Second Wave.

C'mon, people. Did anything in Sacramento ever matter? Trust me, it was an empty tree falling in an empty forest.

The Lakers second unit is THE BENCH MOB!

Some time tonight, I'm going to shout BENCH MOB! on this blog, and only the K brothers can stop me.

Any player with greatness abilty will compete to the highest level to push himself. Odom can't say he had done well to become great.

At best he was a good teammate and an above average role player.

But in the role the Lakers envisioned him, LAMAR has failed big time!

The new teammates of Kobe has elevated their play, embraced Kobe's way and mindset. The old team of Mihm, Kwame, Lamar, Cook, Walton and Smush are long gone, this new teammates are ready to play with Kobe's fire. The Wind has blown and Earth is just waiting around the corner to shake the NBA grounds!

An ending well worth waiting for, so Let it end. An Odom and Walton trade over the summer will make it complete. Let the new beginning of the next Dynasty start with all the right pieces in place!

Long live the Lakers!

AK.

hear, hear. I wish I could put anything that well. If he hasn't done anything else, and he has, kobe has made a lot of people care a lot about what is going on in his head. I can think of presidents who weren't this analyzed on a daily basis.

all i can say is; kobe's this guy, he tries really hard, and most of the time he's damn fun to watch. and the rest of time he's unbelievable. that's enough for me.

How bout this... with apologies to Sasha:

"The Sub Machines"??? Taking out the opponents!

My prediction for final score:

Lakers 118, Heat 102.... sorry no tacos tonight.

Harrison was baked. Between trying to surf through the spinning kaleidoscope on his way to the microphone and pretending there were no dancing monkeys mocking him in the background, Harrison was clearly operating on a one second delay. What happens during that one second in Harrison's mind when he is trying to process incoming information could be made into a 2 hour movie... if you're really heavy into rotating flashing lights and one note being played... for two hours... LOL! I'm sure that woman looked like Chewy for a good 10 seconds there...

I like the Bench Mob.

But the Sashanators is pretty funny.

Rick,

If a tree falls in the Tule fog, will anybody see it?

That's true, they never amounted to anything. But.....

Its from the Sacramento Kings. It could become some sort of curse thingy.

Don't you at least like my SWAT Team? -

BENCH WAVE!

BENCH WAVE OR HOW ABOUT U2, which could describe Jordan and Sasha or the entire 2nd unit?
