Didn't wanna post on the 6th page of the other thread. Arenas = CLASS ACT. He has just earned maaad respect in my book. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"You know, at the end of the day, all the shots that I take I practice. It's not like I just go into the game just throwing up shots. I work hard. I'm in the gym every day. I practice my shots. Before every game I shoot 100 threes. You know, I get to the gym, I shoot 100 threes so I feel comfortable taking the shots I take. Out of that whole game I probably took two bad shots. And, for me not to have a conscience? You're right. When you're an assassin, you don't have a conscience. At the end of the day I thought he didn't have a conscience, but I guess he does. For the best player in the league to downplay what I did... I guess, I don't know. I give him all the respect in the world. He is the No. 1 player in the league, by far. It's like that. You don't need to try to shadow box my 60. It was one of them nights when I was clicking and everything was going in so, I ended up having 60. That's all there is to it. </div> What a humble dude, definitely think he was being genuine and the bigger man in this situation. Even if other's don't think this was a big deal, I felt it was, I think it brought out a sore loser side of Kobe that I haven't seen a very long time.
i wish kobe was like arenas... kobe comes off as arrogant, i wish kobe was like arenas is a great person on and off the court and says the right things.
Gil is the man. He went to the same high school as me, he used to be in our school all the time during off season playing pick uup games with us, dunking on cats haha and as soon as he got that addidas deal he included us in his contract so we got new jerseys new shoes new everything and we still do every season. So yeah knowin him personally I could say he is a really cool dude and I dont think Kobe was thinking when he said what he said, cause I have almost never seen Kobe hate on anybody.
<div class="quote_poster">authentiq Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I love Gil' and all, but don't make him seem like a saint. Great comments. Leave it at that.</div> Gil is a really humble dude though, he gives respect where it is due, and leaves no questions unanswered/asked. He aint no saint but he was a bigger man than Kobe and took those comments better than I would have thought. I'm starting to really like Arenas now.
Kobe said what he felt... props to him for speaking his mind. for what he said he will pay in the court of public opinion. and let's let Kobe's and Gil's wives decide who is a bigger man. (and that other girl from Colorado) lol
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">and let's let Kobe's and Gil's wives decide who is a bigger man. (and that other girl from Colorado) lol</div> Arenas isn't married.... I wouldn't really have expected Arenas to say much different, so good for him.
<div class="quote_poster">hugelakersfan8 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">anyone think kobe will apologize about the comments he made, i hope he does</div> Yeah me too. It was obvious that Kobe's comments weren't anything to brag about, and with the way Arenas has handled it, all I've got to say is props to him. I hope Kobe apologizes
Good stuff from Gil. I've been a fan of his since last season. Just wish he didnt take so long to hit free throws! LMAO

Because the likely hood they have all been with Kobe at least once. Same with Arenas most likely.
Good coments he made kobe look like a baby I 'd watch out Gil Kobe might drop 100 on you in Washington
