kobe v. shaq (game over)
hey, kobe, i have some questions for you:
1) Did you think you could win a championship without Shaq if you aren’t able to lift the entire team up to your level?
2) Do you know the difference between being a gifted athlete and a refined baller?
3) Do you think you might play better if you spent less time crying about no-call fouls that likely should have been called against you?
4) Do you miss Shaq yet….now that you ran him out of Los Angeles…..has that part sunk in yet?
5) Have you done the math on the talent (or lack thereof) that Mike had around him through SIX championships?
6) Will you ever deflate your own ego enough to do what’s best for your TEAM?
Seriously, Kobe. I’m enjoying the show. Even sweeter would be the day Boston puts you away on your own court. That could happen Saturday. That SHOULD happen Saturday. Boston did something tonight they should have done in the last two games……they finished. Let me rephrase that…..they spotted you a 24 point lead and then commenced to rolling up on you. And your boy Vujacic is really turning out to be quite the crybaby. I’m wondering if he’s like that girl from the drug commercials…..he learned it by watching YOU.
I’d say I feel your pain, but I don’t. I don’t respect or appreciate what you stand for. More so, I absolutely detest the red carpet you walk on with the media. These people who annointed you the next MJ before you even left the hallowed halls of your high school.
Wanna know why you’ll never be like Mike? Yeah, if YOU could be like Mike…….Mike played for Dean Smith. Mike became a professional by learning from a professional. Mike was the underdog…..not expected to even continue playing beyond high school at a time when you were being raised upon shoulders and built to God status before you even donned an NBA uniform.
I do not like what the Association has become and you are the ultimate representation of everything that I, as a would-be fan, don’t like about the NBA game. Players like you think you’re bigger than the game. Players like you expect the game to come to you. You take the game to them. Whether you’re grinding out playing street ball or playing at your elite level. If you want to win, you make it happen…..you work for it……you earn it.
Lesson One is coming late for you Kobe and Boston’s about to give it to you………I dare you to prove me wrong, because right now, you’re an elite athlete but you’re not a baller. Dig out film from the Bulls archive and you’ll see what a baller is and what a baller does. I don’t think you will……
