Nicely said!!
I think we did see what he's made of, when he gave up on his team in Cleveland,
He's has game, not doubting that at all. But like you said, he doesn't leave it all on the court,
Then when he takes a little tumble, he puts his pouting face on and just walks it off like he's doing everyone a favor, Jordan's flu game, iversons tailbone, finger, ankle, Bryant's knee, finger, ankle, and now what happen last night.
True die hard "for the love of the game" players,
And not show boating, red carpet, out for most money players.
It's gonna be sad day when the old style players leave.

Can't forget this!! Haha

But yeah it will be a sad NBA when those types of players are gone
No worries, I knew you were not calling me personally a loser.
You didn't see me complain over Lakers' last few wins (Portland, New Orleans, Memphis, Dallas ...) because Lakers were clearly a better team.
I had big complains over the win at Sacramento, because there were so many bad calls in the closing minutes in Lakers' favor (see video below), but I didn't wanna say anything because you would accuse me of blaming refs every time Lakers beat the Kings.
But last night was a joke. Even at that Orlando game, where Magic was intentionally fouling Howard every time he got the ball, Lakers didn't shoot as many free throws as the last night.
Last night in the 4th quarter alone Lakers had the same amount of free throws (16) as the Warriors had in the entire game. Even Steve Blake was surprised when he got those game winning free throws.
Lakers have to make the playoffs because nobody wants to watch a bunch of unknowns from Utah instead of superstars like Kobe, Howard, Nash, Gasol and Artest.

Like I said blaming the refs or some conspiracy theory is just a weak cop out. Why wouldn't the league let us have CP3 then? Why wouldn't they do a better job rigging it so we wouldn't be struggling for the 8th seed? Hell, why wouldn't they have called the foul when Kobe tried that last second shot against the Hawks a few weeks ago?
The real answer is there are a lot of people who don't like the Lakers that don't know basketball. Period. The Lakers are a better team than the Warriors and have been for a while. Before last night's game we were up 2-1 in the series. Mainly because GSW can't stop Howard properly.
Or maybe the refs gave Pau a triple double

BTW I gotta post this 3am facebook rant from Kobe. Classic Mamba.

I have NO CLUE. Do I have the consistent will to overcome this thing? Maybe I should break out the rocking chair and reminisce on the career that
was. Maybe this is how my book
ends. Maybe Father Time has defeated me...Then again maybe not! It's 3:30am, my foot feels like dead weight, my head is spinning from the pain meds and I'm wide awake. Forgive my Venting but what's the purpose of social media if I won't bring it to you Real No Image?? Feels good to vent, let it out. To feel as if THIS is the WORST thing EVER! Because After ALL the venting, a real perspective sets in. There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.
One day, the beginning of a new career journey will commence. Today is NOT that day.
"If you see me in a fight with a bear, prey for the bear". Ive always loved that quote. Thats "mamba mentality" we don't quit, we don't cower, we don't run. We endure and conquer.
I know it's a long post but I'm Facebook Venting LOL. Maybe now I can actually get some sleep and be excited for surgery tomorrow. First step of a new challenge.
Guess I will be Coach Vino the rest of this season. I have faith in my teammates. They will come thru.
Thank you for all your prayers and support. Much Love Always.
Mamba Out

Please do. I would really love to watch the video of missed calls against the Lakers when the game's on the line ... it would be the shortest video ever.

GSW couldn't stop Dwight because the Pau to Dwight High-low entry was working very well. It's un-guardable if Pau if hitting his 15 footers (which he was last night). It's one of the reasons this team had such high expectations. Their offense has the potential to be the best in the league.
That's the real reason they lost. Keep thinking the league favors the Lakers yet denies them a future FRANCHISE PLAYER. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
GSW should have run the Curry/Thompson screen/roll again on their last shot.

Try me.
Yes I did. Any other games? Since Lakers played 80 games so far, and there were more bad calls against Lakers than for them, the list should be much longer.

I won't waste my time. If you can't see it for yourself by watching the games then you just don't understand bball. Nothing I can do about that.

There are plenty. I can distinctly remember some against your Sacramento Kings. Heck there's probably some on youtube already.
