in all honesty, it wasnt bashing Kobe. It was a good refreshing story. If you look at it a certain way Kobe kinda pushed him to be better in the regard of speaking up to himself. Imagine if Kobe took on the role as being a player coach instead of his usual role. He is still a legend regardless. I am a Sacramento Kings fan, but also love the way Kobe approached the game

This is one of the best stories I've heard about playing with Kobe. Just really honest about Kobe's ego from a perspective of wanting to win games with a person he had to share the ball with. I also think a lot of players resented the attention Jeremy Lin got from Linsanity onward. But this is a great story of figuring out how to work with people and connect with people during the tough times

Big ups to Lin for standing up to Kobe... I don't think there was any Kobe taking things out on other players. It was more of Kobe testing Lin for firmness and the mutual respect that came from Lin standing up for himself. Kobe thought that Lin was too soft (this opinion came from watching them in practice). Part of the Kobe teammate experience was that mental 'irritation' he liked to do and how you responded to it. Playing in LA isn't easy for people with fragile egos *stares at Westbrook*... but I know that Kobe respected people he couldn't pushover--that is from his own confession

As a die-hard Kobe fan, let's just get this out of the way. Kobe does shoot his team out of games throughout his career, especially toward the latter part of his career. If you don't realize this, you are not a true Kobe fan. Fans live with him shooting the Lakers out sometimes. You cannot only take the good without the bad. The way Kobe always plays has such a small margin of error. Those tightly contested fade away over multiple defenders. Off balance three pointers. Going through traffic with contact layups. His body just couldn't keep it up anymore at that point. Nothing wrong with it. We all get old. No one is immured to that. Respect for JLin for standing up against Kobe. RIP Kobe my hero
@mastermind22463 жыл бұрын
Facts I'm also a die-hard Kobe fan but I gatta agree with this take. I remembered that game against the Nuggets when he tried to get the game winner over 2-3 defenders and missed. The Lakers ended up losing that game in OT. All Kobe had to do was pass the ball and this happened in the 2014-15 season a year before he retired. I wish he would've change his game like Lebron a little and let his teammates scored and stopped being a 1 on1 player during his latter years. He's still my favorite player tho

Can't comment on how he was in his personal life, but he was sure an asshole on the court. One of the most selfish players I ever watched, back when I watched the game. That's one of the biggest reasons why his teams only won 4 percent less games when he was off the court, as opposed to the 35-40 percent lesser winning percentage when Jordan and James were off the court (and that's despite the fact they certainly had a few selfish moments of their own).

@@twondagreat8893 With James, I'm referring to events such as attempting to override his head coach when he was rookie, or more recently walking off the court with 5 minutes left. Generally, on the court itself, he has probably been one of the least selfish elite talents ever, at least for a non-PG. As for Jordan, yes, he was arguably more selfish than James on the court. In his defense, though, he shot so insanely well that he rarely shot his team into a loss. Kobe tried to shoot like he was Jordan, but he didn't have 50-55 percent field goal percentages to go with it, nor did he back it up on the other end of the court nearly so well. James is smart enough to shoot just the right amount to keep his field goal percentage way up around 50. But yea, MJ simply was so refined a talent that his selfishness rarely hurt his team. For Bryant, who was not nearly so efficient, it's a different story.

They say the most successful people are those that surround themselves with friends/colleagues who will speak up when you are doing something wrong. As Lin said, Kobe was 35 but still thought he was in his 25 year old body. It's unfortunate that his pride didn't let him see that. But we're all human

Isn't CP3 35 and playing like he's 25? Had Kobe at 31 not gotten the CP3 deal vetoed there would have never been a torn achilles. Because Kobe would not have been forced into playing the point guard position and carrying too large a load. It was unprecedented and a criminal act to veto an already done deal. And back that up with a NBA created media fake narrative "that nobody wants to play with Kobe" to try to prevent him from getting any help.

Kobe was being an ass that year. Kobe was bad recovering from injury and was no longer himself but he still wanted to be the man, taking 30 shots with a very poor percentage. I remember in countless game, he was still taking bad shots thinking he was in his prime, but he couldn't do it anymore. So he would shoot Lakers into falling behind, then J Lin would lead the 2nd unit and catch up, but then Kobe had to take over in the 4th quarter and lose. Kobe couldn't have another guy run the offense and still had to be the man shooting 30 shots a game, that was why they couldn't coexist. Kobe couldn't admit that he wasn't who he used to be coming back from injury at 35. That year was horrible for Lin because he wasted a healthy year with the Lakers that was still Kobe dominant and was tanking by the middle of the season. Scott was limiting Lin's minutes because Scott was dominated by Kobe and was tanking. Whenever Lin played well and was making the Lakers close to winning, Scott would take Lin out. So Lin was coming off the bench in weird patterns, making it hard for LIn to get a rhythm. Lin still played well but he was often taken out when the Lakers were actually playing well without Kobe.

Lin was apart of our team for a season and did fairly well, but should have been a second option at PG. the PG position is the most competitive position in the sport right now and dude could only muster 11ppg in 25min of playing time. Like I said Not bad, but definitely not starter material. And most definitely not someone you should defer to in pivotal moments in a game. Last point: our roster was poorly constructed. there was no possible way we were going to win any games unless we changed our management. We had guys like Robert Sacre and Timofy Mosgov on contract.

biggest problem with Jlin was that with his play style, he has to be the play maker on a team.. which Jlin is pretty good at... But rest of the league did not give him a lot of chances, because he would be competing with Harden Kobe and Camelo on the same team.... and the few chances he had in Knicks and in Brooklyn..he blew it with bad luck (injuries)... If Jlin was a specialist, or after going to Hornets if he had trained to be a specialist.. knocking down 3s and occassionally being a sixth man... then I think JLin would be still playing.

You know when they allowed Lebron ( the 3rd best player in the league at the time) to join teams with D.

The other issue was how young the team was... They were immature and didnt seem to care, the youngins were prepared to suck for a few years Kobe wasnt... DLo was 19 airing out Swaggy P on snapchat... Kobe was surrounded by a bunch of kids in the final leg of his career and he wasnt happy about it... rightfully so

He wasn’t as bad as MJ to his teammates. Don’t do Kobe like that. Jeremy is right about post Achilles injury kobe though. It’s tough when you have been so great, but can no longer lead by example in the same way. In contrast to MJ, at least he let go and showed respect. MJ has not even cared about any of the ppl he hurt and moves on like it’s just part of the game

You have to respect Jeremy Lin for stepping up to Kobe who many feared. It was a sign of respect and Kobe had to acknowledge during his last 2 years. There was a time to change when younger players had to take over. Young Kobe was gone during that moment and a new generation was emerging. Jeremy Lin is actually a great point guard with a high IQ. I wish he stayed with the Lakers, but he went to the Hornets and was killing it.

What a great motivational story. That's a feel good story from Jeremy growing from a Victim mentality to an Assertive mentality. Assertion is different from aggression. When you aspire to be Assertive, you plant seeds of maturity which will begin to grow stronger and you become wiser. More importantly, you become calmer and better able to deal with social and management employment bullies; the 21st century bullies
