Most people that know me know I'm a Kobe homer. So here it goes....

I remember when people couldn't stop talking about how Kobe was such a bad team mate and nobody wanted to play with him.
Now we have Kyrie ACTUALLY SAYING he doesn't want to play with LBJ anymore. How many of Kobe's team mates went to the media trying to force a trade stating they don't want to play with Kobe as the reason for the demand?

I would have taken him over Tyler Ennis to backup Ball....

I'd rather have Ennis. At least he knows where his game is currently at.

The Irony.

Way too many young guys....we need a few vets to show them how it's done.

Deng, Bropez, Brewer. Caruso looks like he's 30+, does that count too?

There were plenty of guys who didn't like/couldn't handle playing with Jordan too. I don't think it says as much about LeBron as it does about Kyrie.

Many Stars around the league still want to team up with LeBron because he wins. That doesn't mean the entire experience is a party though.

Should this be posted here or in the WTF News of the Day thread.....

Had a Kale and greens smoothie from Jamba Juice.....ugh.

Why the hell would you do a thing like that?

It's good for you and I don't want to die.

Yeah, but you also had a kale and greens smoothie...so your judgement is suspect.

 

[trojanfan12]

Pretty sure that shit'll kill you.

Your health starts in your gut, intestines to the layperson, you need to clean yourself out every now and again. This smoothie wasn't the tastiest (I usually opt for the strawberry whirl) but kale is very healthy (even better than spinach) and it cleaned me out within 2-3 hours.

The Lakers didn't have a lot of trouble finding guys to play with Kobe when he was a guaranteed deep playoff run despite the fact that he was an asshole. Guys would put up with it because they knew they would get a chance at a ring.

Even with what Kyrie has said, any team Lebron is on won't have trouble finding guys to play with him either. Until he is no longer a guaranteed deep playoff run. When that happens no one will want to play with him anymore either.

I will say though...@LAD is right about 1 thing...I don't remember anyone actively trying to get away from playing with Kobe while he was still a guaranteed deep playoff run.

I'm pretty darn healthy, my intestines are good and I don't drink kale and greens smoothies. Might just keel over dead one day...but it won't be with a nasty taste in my mouth. lol

That's a lot of sugar to have in the evening. Your sugar intake in the evening should be minimal to non-existent.
