Might well depend if it was before or after certain events in 2003...

Kobe is a POS. I used to like him and even bought his shoes... Yet when he called Shaq out to ESPN for his dealings with women, well it was beyond sleezy because he was trying to defer eagle colorado attention to whatever Shaq did on the road. Even more crazy was that was his teammate at the time and Gary Payton and Karl Malone came over that year trying to win a ring.

Also don't care what anyone sais... Kobe booted Shaq out of town bc he cared more about getting the credit for winning then just plain winning. Being Robin on a championship team wasn't good enough. It made me sick that he put himself above winning like that.

It's also funny he tries to act like he could hang with MJ. MJ played in an era without touch fouls and with hand checking and the Jordan Rules. Kobe plays in a soft era. He is the shadow of Michael Jordan and will always be but its pathetic how chasing the ghost of MJ has consumed him..

Seriously this guy is pathetic. He has nothing but the game and he will bc of that play too long and be a retread before it is all said and done, looking like a guy who cant hang at all with the last generation he plays against before he is FORCED to retire.

If he came now i dunno
if he was drafted here then maybe.

Love for pierce always

I don't know. If it was from the start and not from a trade then it's possible. I like Pierce when just about everyone I know hates him. Perhaps it's just because it's a Celtic.

I'll say this about Kobe, I didn't like him from the start. He was a kid who a team had to take a chance on by drafting and he still refused to play for Charlotte. That kind of told me what kind of person he was from the start.

I loathe Kobe more than almost any figure in media. It's not even that I root for the C's. You won't see me say he isn't a master of clutch and determination and his skills aren't epic. It's not even his crass, condescending attitude that never waivers even when he wins; that just compounds it. It comes down to that he would never sacrifice like the Big Three have. He does when he's feeling charitable and tries to pass it off like he'd do whatever was needed to win; he'll do what it takes so long as he's the hero. When he's bricking 20/22 shots in Game 7 and clearly is being shut down he doesn't go to Gasol. Gasol gets those boards and bails him out. Don't for one second think that it doesn't tear  him up that Gasol is the true MVP. And that's why he sucks.

Pierce was in the same class of volume offense and clutchdom. He didn't refuse to play because he wouldn't have the numbers and he wouldn't be the sole reason for winning. He's effeceint, he rebounds, he's clutch and he's all about the team. Kobe's brand of ball (and really the current generation of Lakers) is to do the complete opposite and pass it off as such. He's a blackhole disguised as something else with all the sheer talent he's been surrounded with. Pierce isn't infallible, but he is so much more respectable. So in the hypothetical scenario I'd be too disgusted to enjoy any of it.

I would like the Satan himself in he were a Celtic

In short, yes.

If he had spent his career as a Celtic, there would likely be additional banners on the wall.  After accomplishing that, it would be hard to say that I didn't like him.
