Kobe! Mock Drafts! Kobe!
Uncategorized June 21st. 2007, 5:41pm
Six days to the draft, bitches. Can’t wait. NBA junkies need to check out what we’re doing at the Fanhouse, which is basically flooding the zone from every potential angle. And yes, we stood our ground with Nick Young as the No. 8 pick to Charlotte. Bet you didn’t know he shot 52 % from the field and 44% from three, did you? Those numbers are off the charts for a shooting guard.
* So the notorious Kobe video may not be that bad: “Andrew Bynum? What the f—?” Bryant says in disgust. “Are you kidding me? Andrew Bynum? F—ing ship his ass out. Are you kidding me? We’re talking about Jason Kidd. But they didn’t even want to do that. Now we’re here in this f—ed up position.” The tandem then asked Bryant what he thought about Bynum’s potential. Bryant smiled and started to shake his head as if he was about to go on another tirade. “You know what man? Let me tell you something. Mitch Kupchak had the nerve to ask me…” At this point the 24-second video clip ends abruptly and we are left to wonder what Bryant says next. “The Kobe Video Guys” say that Bryant went on to say, “How good do you think Andrew Bynum is going to be in 10 years? Are you f—ing kidding me? I’m trying to win this s— now.”
* Bill Simmons unveils his lottery picks. We’ve got a couple qualms: why would Memphis, the second-worst defensive team in the NBA need a point guard? The Grizzlies were in the top 10 in scoring … but couldn’t stop anyone. They need Brandan Wright or Al Horford. And we’re still perplexed by Joakim Noah to the Bobcats - helllllllooooo people (that includes you, Chad Ford) Gerald Wallace and Matt Carroll are leaving, and there will be no offense! Okafor and Sean May are a fine 1-2 punch!
* Not really draft-related, but Robert Horry must be smokin’ some dank green herb. Cool photo illustration.
* Greg Oden ‘flopped’ in a workout with Portland. Those are his words. The guess here is that he was out with Zach Randolph late the night prior.
* Ric Bucher claims that Kobe only has a list of three teams he’s willing to go to: Dallas, Chicago or Phoenix. Bucher is Kobe’s unofficial mouthpiece, so take this for what it’s worth. John Paxson says the Bulls haven’t spoken to the Lakers. A Suns front-office guy goes on record saying Kobe to Phoenix has z zero chance of happening. Altogether now: KOBE’S GOING NOWHERE!

Kobe to Miami for Shaq

If he leaves then the Lakers have the dumbest front office in the business. What franchise would lose Shaq and Kobe in 4 years via trades!

Yeah, but they’d still have Smush Parker!

Who cares about the Lakers and whiny little bitch Kobe? Where did you find that diarrea pic? I think I’ve found my new avatar.

I don’t think the Grizz’s defensive problems were because of personnel–it was more due to style. Tony Barone simply tried to run ‘n gun and score as much as possible. I think you have to upgrade the PG position. Atkins and Stoudamire aren’t going to cut it out west.
I don’t think May is a starter. He’s a fine player but he’s a bit undersized to handle most 4’s in this league. I like him a lot though.

Wow. How must Andrew Bynum feel being on the Paris Hilton end of a youtube classic.

hilarious, HBCU, hilarious. haha
What’s next for Bynum? Buddy up with Shaq and create a hemanKobehater club? (nobody can possibly buy Diesel not holding a grudge anymore on Kobe, right?)

I like this site a lot but was that Kobe thing meant to be blatantly plagarized from si.com?

Chris - did the link, semicolon, and quote marks not give it away? People have complained about our links being a color that doesn’t stand out … i think that’s something we need to work on.
But no, we don’t plagarized here.

I think Memphis is hoping to give last year’s first round pick, Kyle Lowry, a shot at the PG position.
I still want Brandan Wright for the Grizz.

As I said before, I’m pretty sure Bill Simmons would leave his wife if Kevin Durant would have him - despite the fact that KD might be more anorexic than Nicole Richie.
And there’s absolutely no way that the Hawks should take Horford over Conley. You need a point guard. And Conley’s the left-handed Tony Parker.

Kobe’s digging a big ass grave….let the Lakers develop a year or two. Damn.

I agree with Horry. As much respect as I got for the old timers, the players now are stronger, bigger, faster, and more athletic than they were in the 80s. Pure and simple.
