http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/news/story?id=5641174 Martell webster sucks and I never wanted him in POR in the first place in 3....2....1.....
Nate praising Kobe during the Olympics Martell idolizing Kobe Blake becomes a Laker Think the fans hate the Lakers more than the player do
the thing is that they're from seattle, which has some of the worst sports fans ever (other than in LA). they are total bandwagon dweebs, and there are a lot of L*ker fans or LeBron Heat fans, etc. whatever.
Who gives a shit? Martell has been working out with Kobe for years. I was happy he was working out with Kobe. Hoping against hope that some Kobe would rub off on him. Now? I truly couldn't give a shit. Martell doesn't play for Portland anymore, you know that, right?
Hey Rizzle, you heard that LeBron went to Miami and Bynum is hurt again, right? Oh, and there's a black president....
Meh...I dont pay attention to the thoughts of your JV players until its mentioned in a Lakers article
Dont forget to add that Brian Wheeler applied for Lakers announcer/broadcaster, and I dont hate Kobe... that has to be high up on that list too
Why would the players hate the Lakers? Player-based rivalry is almost non-existent in pro sports. It's more common in college sports, but that's because it's clear you'll (almost) always be part of one team your entire college career. Plus college has been built up as a part of identity, far more than the company one works for. Team-based rooting and "hate" has always been a fan thing. Kobe's a "fan" of the Lakers insofar as that's the team he's on and he wants to win. If he were a Celtic tomorrow, he'd want the Celtics to win. I'm not surprised Webster is a big fan of Kobe. I'm sure lots of players are. Kobe is a fantastic player and great fun to watch. I realize you consider yourself a clever troll, but your attempts to anger are pretty silly.
I mostly agree with you, though I certainly wouldn't label ALL their fans that way. But I would say the Lakers and Yankees fanbases are two of the most obnoxious in this generation. I don't actually dislike the players on the Lakers or the Yankees, but I tend to root against them due to the fans.
I remember 3 years ago after we got beat by LA down at Staples Martell walked on the plane with some autographed shoes from Kobe.......... DAMN! That flight was quiet! Jarrett Jack was PISSED!
So was Webster asking K*be about his role in the triangle, or Artest's? One thing I'll say for K*be, I don't think I've ever heard that he's turned down a player asking to work out with him or get some tips from him.
oh shit, he gave him the shoes he wore when he dropped 81. http://www.nba.com/blazers/special_features/Mike_Barrett_Trail_Blazers_Tra-152688-41.html
Jack was pissed, I think Joel was to if i remember correctly. Shit, Jarrett was pissed when I wore some special edition LeBron Air Force 1's......... on an off day in Memphis!!!!
yeah. it was that game I think where he dropped 65. that was an amazing performance, i was pretty stunned.
