Things That Piss Vigilante Off! -Laker's Drama- A Column by |
| Shaq is one of the
biggest and most feared men in the NBA today. Unfortunately, his big frame doesn’t
cover up his extremely un-mature behavior. Kobe has proven himself to be one of the league’s best players this year. Unfortunately, his enormous ass ego can’t see that he’s tearing the L.A Lakers apart. What do I say to these two "men"? GROW THE F*** UP!!! The question this last week has been, "Whose team is it?" Well, quite frankly it’s neither of their teams. Its Phil’s team, but he doesn’t seem to have a good grasp on either of his players. In reference to this season’s play compared to last year, Shaq has gone on record to say, "Don't say 'we' have a problem. I'm not a guard, I have to be fed the ball. When the dog is fed, he'll guard the yard. When he's not, anybody can come in. Right now, I feel like a token big man, like Luc Longley or Chris Dudley. And that's not my game." Um…ok. I thought if you were paid a fat ass paycheck like Shaq, that is when you’re supposed to play ball. I didn’t know you had to get the ball when and where you wanted it on offense before you started doing what you’re also paid to do on defense. Shaq’s point total has gone down by four points since last season, but Kobe’s has more than doubled. So the offense is fine, but because the offense isn’t going to go through Shaq. He’s going to bitch like a first time menstruating schoolgirl. Looks like Orlando all over again… But Kobe’s not perfect himself. In response to why he doesn’t get the ball to Shaq at the end of games, Kobe said, "If Shaq were a 70% free throw shooter, it would make things so much easier. We have to know our strengths and weaknesses. I trust the team. I just trust myself more. Yeah, we won last year with the offense going through Shaq. But instead of winning series in five and seven games, this year we'll have sweeps." Heh..really Kobe. You’ll have sweeps? Is that why this years Lakers have lost to the Clippers, Nuggets, Warriors and our now number 5 in the western conference? Yes, you guys are a much better team than last year Kobe. All those points and highlights you’re making are really going to send you guys sweeping over teams in the playoffs. GET REAL KOBE!!! You’re killing the damn team. You’ve got to realize that you’ve got a big 300+ pound baby on your team. If he wants the ball, you as a shooting guard that likes to push point has to get it there. If not, Shaq isn’t going to give you guys what you really are getting killed in this year…defense. Shaq’s going up and down the court with 75% less tenacity than he did last year, and Kobe’s going up and down the court like he’s God’s greatest gift to basketball. Taking jump shots from all sides of the court, making it very difficult to get a rebound for his long misses. But in basketball, there are 5 people on the floor. It’s a team game, and people have to make compromises for the betterment of the team. If not, then the chance of the Lakers becoming a dynasty look less and less likely. Both of these "men" are getting paid way too much to bitch and moan about whose not getting the ball more, and whom the offense is going through. It’s about winning, and it’s about doing it as a team. Shaq, you need to work on your free throws in the off-season and during season. You should have your fat ass in the arena as soon as the doors open, you shouldn’t be acting, rapping, or doing anything but helping to improve the one weakness in your game. Kobe, you have to learn that there are a total of four other people on your team. If Phil tells you to do a play, and you don’t do it…do you honestly think anyone should respect you egotistical ass? This is a weaker NBA nowadays Kobe, so yes you look great. But don’t let that go to your head anymore than it already has, or else you will be running a team on your own. And all the great championship teams had more than one person leading them to the promise land.. Michael and Scottie, David and Duncan, Shaq and Kobe. Think about it boys, grow up, and lets see the real Lakers. Cause I for one, am getting pissed about hearing you guys pathetic soap opera. Here are links to the full ESPN story on Kobe and Shaq: |
