SMH = Shake My Head..... meaning his post is worth about as much as the P!$$ on the pavement my puppy just left... I agree wholeheartedly with what Mel said, its in far better words then i can muster and i like the wording. But in my earlier post, i truly Believe KB8 is top 5 in the league and is easily the finest all around player since the G.O.A.T(Greatest of all time = MJ). Many would disagree, and i welcome it... i love it actually. But as mel said it, the thing that makes KB8 The best since MJ also makes him vulnerable.....but anyone who has watched their career's knows MJ realized it and capitolized on it....the REAL question still remains...will KB8 see it and do the same??
Kobe diffenately has more strengths than weaknesses. Shootin, Defense, everything he does is good on the court. HIs biggest wekness is off the court. His biggest weakness is his ego, trying to take control of the organization, and for that guy who said that kobe has no sopporting cast, it's kobe's fault he doesn't have one. Kobe is probably the best player in the game but he needs to tone down the ego.

Argument? ....lmao, are you even reading the posts in this thread? <u>It's what people believe are kb8's Strengths or weaknesses</u>.... no argument needed little cuz.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting trenchteam:</div><div class="quote_post">At SG, Kobe led in the assists category this season. I think Kobe's weakness is trusting his team more.</div> Actually he was second, Wade led SG's in assists as Damon Jones was the PG for the Heat . Wade really played the PG role, but he was not the "PG". DMKfromTPL I'll have to say I'm not a huge fan of your arguments, too much everyone else hates and is a hater, and I only know the truth, sorry, but that's really how it seems.

Didnt the fellow who started this post ask for OPINIONS and VEIWS on Kobe Bryant's weakness's and strengths? .....? With that being said, ask me if i care what you think bout my "Arguments", cause as hard as ive tried to....i dont see much flavor in your post's, kerry.
Kobe is not owned by Bowen, and Bowen would be the first to admit that. No one can guard Kobe one on one, however, most players in the league are unstoppable one on one. <u>Kobe's Strengths</u> Work Ethic Ability to score anywhere on the court (in the post, mid range, free throw line, and behind the arc) Can create his own shot and set up teammates Great on the ball defender Aggression Clutch player <u>Weaknesses</u> Forces the issue at times, which leads to turnovers and poor shot selection Gambles a lot on defense Doesn't always trust his teammates Needs to learn how to win by not trying to make every play Off court drama

Lets just wait and see how kobe plays next season now that he finally has a summer to practice, along with caron and lamar, next season the lakers are gona be for real.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Bobcats:</div><div class="quote_post">Oh, so I guess Kobe's 30% shooting is just impossible to stop.</div> Kobe's 30% shooting? When was this, did they have a 1-on-1 contest on pay per view or something? You actually believe Bowen can shut Kobe down without the rest of the Spurs defense focusing in on Kobe as well?

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Bobcats:</div><div class="quote_post">Well, basketball is a team game and- oh nevermind, Kobe wouldn't know anything about that now would he?</div> Yeah I guess he knows nothing about winning and sacrificing for the good of the team. He just rode Shaq's coat tails to get those 3 shiney things on his fingers. Sorry, but that cheap shot against Kobe, was just a cover up for you not being able to prove your argument.
LOL OWNED! Im not a kobe fan myself but I'm not as ignirant as some to accept that he is an amazing player. 30% shooting Iverson's % isnt much better buddy look it up. Y dont u diss him bout his%
Well give em a break, his favorite players are Melo' and Bosh. Though i think bosh could do something if he actually gained some muscle mass. And Carmelo could actually be worthy of the press if he would put the weed down and quit being lazy. Anyways, there is too much ignorence going around. Then again, i once used to say MJ wasnt the greatest ever.

But since you mentioned him, I'll say this for the record as in Iverson and Kobe are basically equals but if anything Iverson would have the edge but just by a slight margin. I?d just thought I mention this, just to show you how much Kobe has been exposed this year, because it was just yesterday when we were saying how Kobe is on another level and is separated from the Iverson?s and McGrady?. Also because of the fact that you seem to take a shot at Iverson no apparent reason, hasn't there been enough hating on Iverson? Back to what I was saying... This year alone has exposed Kobe and this shows that he?s not Mr. Next Jordan after all, and while people will say it?s not fair to judge him because this is his first year and he is making an ?adjustment?, how come nobody gave Iverson any slack at all? But let me just say this, they're both exceptionally amazing in they're respected ways such as Kobe is much stronger, physical and can put a clamp down on his opponents more than Iverson can. On the other hand Iverson quickness and intestinal fortitude makes him the Shaq of the perimeter as in he can't be stopped alone unless if it?s a team effort. Well team effort or not, there is no slowing him down PERIOD. The Pistons which are arguably the best defense team in the NBA allowed him to have his best playoff game of his career (37 Points and 15 Assists). Alike Iverson, Kobe can?t be stopped as well but he can be slowed down, really slowed down for that matter. Prince demonstrated how he alone could take or on or more like frustrate Kobe, while a couple teams in the league have proven that they can slow him down, but that?s ONLY when it?s a team effort. So all in all, I don't see why the Iverson "shot" was called for, but that's you, but at the same time wasn't that really necessary? So I just thought I bring this up mainly so we can get back to discussing Kobe because the season Iverson is having I find it hard to hate on him while Kobe has put himself in the position to receive the criticism.
