Anyone see the kobe-wilbon convo on sportscenter

**Ninersnut** · 12-21-10, 07:29 PM

I did and BS he aint thinking about 6 rings

**Mikail** · 12-21-10, 07:32 PM

Best player currently in the NBA and I personally think he should go out while still on top. Nothing is more pathetic than watching an athlete try to hold on to yesterday. You know what I mean. Some players stay in the game too long and everyone around them knows it but won't say anything. Kobe is better than that. I hope.

i agree. i think he will. seems like that type of guy. i dont see him hobbling around the court like MJ. I think he plays 3 maybe 4 tops. NBA will be weird without him for a couple years when he leaves.

**jjgold** · 12-21-10, 07:38 PM

He is close to Jordan now
I think that is his goal

**minet123** · 12-21-10, 07:44 PM

Maybe He can finally admit his real age and give the PA High school title back

It will be hard to see him go. NBA will be different without him that is for sure. I hope someone steps right over Lebron to assume the King of the NBA title when Kobe bows out.

**crustyme** · 12-21-10, 07:53 PM

i think kobe will drop dead of exhaustion by 35.

since 2007-8, no player has played more games than him. 3 finals appearances, Olympics, international games.... which is why he keeps breaking down.

he needs to take it easy if he wants to extend his career.

Good point. Maybe he will do like Jordan and retire for a few years and then make a comeback.

It will be weird without Kobe in the NBA that is for sure. I think the person you are looking for to step over Lebron is playing right now in Oklahoma City #35 Kevin Durant guy is just Awesome if he can add some muscle onto his frame he could just be completely unstoppable imo. If Carmelo and CP3 both end up in NYC which I believe is a very real possiblity wow could you think of the battles of Miami & New York would be very good to watch I just dont know how all this big 3 stuff is for the game and the way it is occuring under the table deals kinda shady but out of all the people that bashed Lebron for going to Miami when I heard Sir Charles Barkley ramble on about it I wish someone would have reminded him about his trip to Houston to try and get a ring I believe that was no different than what Lebron did fwiw.

**Pauulzcappin** · 12-21-10, 10:53 PM

I'm thinking by the end of 12-13. He might go down as the biggest ever.

I've never really been a fan of Lebron James. What I think separates him from just being a player who wanted to go to a certain team to win a ring is that for one thing, this is usually done toward's the end of a players career and secondly but even more importantly is how Lebron screwed over his home city and how he did it. I don't wan't to divert this thread away from it's main subject but Lebron James is not even in the same class as Kobe Bryant. Once again let's not make this another Kobe vs Lebron thread guys.

**oChRoNiCo** · 12-21-10, 11:07 PM

I dont think it was Kobe vrs Lebron I was basically saying that I believe Kevin Durant will be the heir to the NBA throne once Kobe retires that is all!

Yeah cause kobe didn't demand a trade

You cant say dont make it a kobe vs lebron thing when you are making it a kobe vs lebron in your post lol

**nikeboyz** · 12-21-10, 11:27 PM

Also Durant isnt steping over anyone dude isnt even a MVP this year

Durant would be a fine inheritor.

**tealish** · 12-21-10, 11:27 PM

Closest to Jordan. Wilbon is worthless. Those are separate thoughts.

Uh yeah I can. I was telling myself just as much as everyone else. I caught myself bringing Lebum into the conversation regrettably.

**nikeboyz** · 12-21-10, 11:30 PM

Like I said Durant isnt stepping over anyone

His team wont make it out the first round...again

**Mikail** · 12-21-10, 11:32 PM

Anyway. Can we continue discussing Kobe's future please. Ok thanks.

**nikeboyz** · 12-21-10, 11:35 PM

Kobe will play in Italy

**vyomguy** · 12-21-10, 11:48 PM

Kobe will retire instead of going to Italy...Kobe is a classy guy...he will retire as a laker.

**vyomguy** · 12-21-10, 11:50 PM

Miami will be a dominant team for years to come....kobe will get at best one more ring this year...after that forget it...maimi will figure things out from next year and will be unstoppable...they will win 5-6 championships in a row. Kobe has the last shot this year to get a ring and he knows it.

**Lazy-Man** · 12-22-10, 12:14 AM

I will bet ANY money Miami does not win a title in the next 3 NBA seasons. East will continue to get better and Miami just doesn't have "it"

lol dude just stop it

Just say you dont like Miami

You think people wont be begging to join the heat in the up coming years?

Miami wont even have the same players next year that they have now

**Pauulzcappin** · 12-22-10, 12:43 AM

Don't count out those Dallas Mavericks...

**ParlayJunkie** · 12-22-10, 01:16 AM

Watching the Lakers without Kobe in 3 or 4 years from now wont be the same. I'm 27 now and I remember watching Nick Van Excel, Eddie Jones, Vlade Divac and others. After they were gone, growing up watching Kobe play all those seasons was the best. I'm a die hard Laker fan, but when Kobe is not in the lineup, it will be a sad day

**MJFtheGenius** · 12-22-10, 01:26 AM

Lebrons game is just not suited for the post season abnd they do not have a big man

hard to see Miami winning a championship.

yea basicly they will

they might have like luke ridnour instead of a carlos aroyo but something like that

they are capped out to the max

**Hotdiggity11** · 12-22-10, 01:31 AM

He still has about 5-6 good years if he can stay healthy. Probably wants to see if he can pass Kareem [Possible].

D-rose

We saw the passing of the torch when the D-rose took over in the 4th and bulls beat the lakers

**ringemup** · 12-22-10, 01:56 AM

regret selling mi limited kobe sunshine adidas pairs on ebay long time ago

**kobefanatic** · 12-22-10, 02:02 AM

i think kobe may have 2 to 3 years playing at this level, another 3 years at all star level and will retire after that

**rake922** · 12-22-10, 02:11 AM

Kobe will play at least ten or twelve more years
