Kobe a douche? I would have to agree with Paul. Read his new book coming out May 15th if you want more of his writing. He takes some crap because he is one of the few professional basketball players who knows that he only plays a game. This game is important to him, but it is just a game. Keep writing Paul and keep pissing people off. It sure is fun to watch!

PAUL SHIRLEY IS NOT A MEMBER OF THE PHOENIX SUNS. jeebus! this trifle will have absolutely zero impact on any matchup between the lakers and the suns.

and #24, “another Phoenix Suns bum looking for some airtime through Kobe”? uhm, yeah, riiiiiiight. that sound you hear is my eyes rolling out of their sockets, rolling across the floor and into the bathroom, jumping into the toilet and drowning themselves to end the misery brought upon them from that post.

Who the hell is Paul Shirley? Name doesn’t even ring a bell.

Just another Phoenix Suns bum looking for some airtime through Kobe. So sad.

Quitbe is the most overrated player there ever will be. I can’t stand this 45% shooter who is trying so hard to clean his image. He is a league pass player who gets his 15-45 shooting games for 50 against the worst teams in the -no-handcheck era and thinks he’s suddenly Jordan. What a sad disgrace to sport in general and even sadder are kids who think this is something. Friggin joke with small hands and little hops and chucks mindless threes all day.

If Kobe was a Knick, he would be regarded as the greatest ever? What bullcrap. L.A. is a huge market and they have already had about 5 other players who journalists and fans have bowed down to for the past 30 years. Wilt, Jerry West, Kareem, Magic, and Shaq. Meanwhile, you don’t hear much about how great Patrick Ewing was now do you?

Fuck me.

I can’t defend Kobe’s play some of the time… but the hate is just ridiculous.

If Kobe was a Knick he’d be regarded as the greatest player to ever play the game. Hands down.

Some hack writer/ basketball player that is a Bill Simmons pseudo-media creation says Kobe is a “douche” and that has some sort of authority on the matter? Really? We’re supposed to care? (See boys and girls… it’s easy to write like Bill Simmons… just write “Really?” all the time after your statements.

By the way… “SonDog”… “Best. Line. Ever” is weak. Don’t write that anymore. Do yourself a favor. In fact your entire comment is like when fat white guys yell “You suck” at NBA players at games. Objectively untrue (or they wouldn’t be NBA players) and utterly ridiculous.

Phil Jackson is a “turd sandwich”? Really?

take a look at the video of kobe’s “dunk” on nash. yep, that’s joey crawford calling nash for the block, ignoring kobe’s obvious flagrant-foul-level charge, then delay of game/technical hanging on the rim…..

Here’s the context…

Chris (Valencia, CA): Here’s a better question on Kobe, then: why does it seem that all the players in the NBA simultaneously respect and loathe him? Is he really that bad a guy?

Paul Shirley: (3:49 PM ET ) Biggest douche I’ve ever met.
