bah.... Losing respect for Nate here. Just like I did for Roy about his Bryant = MVP comments at the all star break.
What's not to respect? He's giving props to star players on other teams, which is exactly what he is supposed to do as an NBA employee. Bryant has done the same thing regarding Roy.
I am far from a Kobe fan - but what Nate said is absolutely right on the money. Kobe seems to be letting his team-mates find their game an awful lot more this year than he did in previous years.
He is, and it's pissing me off. I want him to go back to the self-centered-look-at-me-I'll-do-it-all-by-myself Kobe. That Kobe made the L*kers a lot easier to play.
The best way to face a team like LA is to respect what they can do on the court. Nate is doing the right thing to keep the team focused.
Really? Just cause someone notes that someone who you hate, is one of the top players on the planet? No problem at all here.
Nate and KP have both had a man-crush on the anal-rapist from LA forever and still have the goal of making him our first new JailBlazer through FA or trade. Nothing new here.
Nate has a bond with Kobe since they won a gold medal together. Of course he's not going to say anything bad about him. And what he speaks is the truth. Kobe isn't trying to dominate 48 minutes of the game anymore. He's picking his spots better and saving his energy for the 4th.
