post game interview with kobe

[libermaniac]

He is smug. I do not like him. He reminds me a lot of arod.

Yup.     I'm trying to think of a football equivalent.  But I got nothing.

A football player like him would get his a$$ handed to him.

Thanks! I'll never forget that recent interview where Kobe said he was gonna 'kill' a player on the Suns who fouled a
Lakers player. Sorry, don't remember the names of the players. But the interviewer thought Kobe was joking and kept asking him what he meant, and Kobe said 4 times....'I'm going to kill him' with a serious look on his face. I know the interviewer was taken aback as I was. It showed me a side of Kobe I really don't like. He really is so arrogant and, unfortunately, seems to lack not only intelligence, but normal, human compassion. His narcisistic personality is going to be his undoing.

You got this wrong.  Kobe was referring to Sasha, who had a hard foul in game 6, and then right after that the Suns went on like a 12-0 run. He was obviously joking.  Fooled you though. 

Well I hope you're right, but frankly don't see how you would have this knowledge, unless you know him very well. Even the interviewer was trying to get him to say, well...it's just a joke. It gave me a sick feeling and I can usually trust my gut. Not that I believe he's really going to kill someone, but more subtly, feeling that he's got a bad temper, narcissism and a mean streak all mixed together to combine for that sick feeling in my gut.

I like Kobe's interviews. He refuses any opportunity to make excuses. That's admirable.

I love his childish, one-word answers after his team loses. Such a charmer.

I hate to defend Kobe, but it's true he was just talking about Sasha, and not Dragic.

Only a marvelous fourth quarter by Kobe Bryant prevented this series from going back to Los Angeles for Game 7, with the Lakers winning, 111-103, on Saturday night. It also kept Vujacic's health and welfare intact, as Bryant said afterward on TV: "I was going to kill him."

"It was very dumb for my part, and I wanted to apologize to my teammates because they did catch the momentum. Thank God we won. Thank God we won," Vujacic said.
