Kobe's black elbow has long been famous in the league. As early as 2005, Kobe Bryant retaliated by elbowing mike miller until his face was bleeding. After the game, he not only refused to apologize, but also claimed that he was tit for tat and was banned for two games.
In 2007, Kobe's elbow reached its peak. First, in 654381October 28th, he elbowed Ginobili against the Spurs because the latter blocked his shot. Although the referee didn't foul at that time, the league added Kobe Bryant's suspension. On March 6th, Jarek was suspended from the league because he elbowed Kobe Bryant in the face in the game against Timberwolves, or because Jarek blocked Kobe Bryant's three points in a previous defense. Then, in the first game after his comeback, Kobe elbowed 76ers striker Koval in the face and was suspended because the latter defended him endlessly throughout the game.
These are all punished elbows, and there are countless black elbows for Artest like today. The last time I played Artest in the Rockets regular season, the referee just pulled them away. Even Kobe's black elbow is pointed at his right friend. Last year's finals, Rad Manovic was a poor victim.
2. No friends
Kobe's selfish and arrogant personality makes him extremely unpopular in the NBA. Even parties like his wedding and his daughter's birthday are just some Lakers staff, which shows Kobe's way of dealing with people.
O 'Neill is recognized as an easy-going person in the league, but years later he turned against Kobe Bryant. Kobe's popularity is really flattering. Even though the two of them met in this year's All-Star Game, we still felt as if we were separated from each other.
In addition, in the 200 1 finals, the 76 ers finally missed the championship because of their poor strength. Iverson met Kobe Bryant in the player's fairway, and the answer was to reach out and congratulate him, but Kobe turned a blind eye and strode away with his head held high ... polite? Grace.
In the era of the Four Kings, except for the old Malone, the whole Lakers didn't pass the ball to Kobe, and Malone became Kobe's only friend on the team at that time. But even so, Kobe fell out with Malone because of the unwarranted "cuckold husband" incident. Obviously, in Kobe's eyes, women are more important than anything else.
Betraying your family
Speaking of falling out with Malone, we have to talk about Vanessa, the heroine. To some extent, Vanessa is also the chief culprit of Kobe's enemies with the world. In April of 20001year, Kobe broke up with his family despite his parents' strong opposition to marrying Vanessa, a high school classmate. This time, Kobe and his parents were so bitter that he didn't invite his parents to his wedding with Vanessa. For a long time after marriage, Kobe once cut off contact with his parents. Although with the growth of age and the birth of Kobe's daughter, Kobe has reconciled with his parents, but the contradictions and barriers between them still exist.
4. Abuse nanny
Vanessa recently got Kobe involved in a scandal. On March 26th this year, Maria gimenez, the former nanny of the Kobe family, took Lisa, the Kobe couple, to court on the grounds that she was too tired to work for the Kobe family and was abused and insulted by the couple, so she couldn't stand the harsh working environment. Maria once told Kobe that she wanted to resign. She tried to elicit an apology from Vanessa, but it turned out that Vanessa insulted her again. In addition, gimenez suffered some unfair treatment without detailed explanation, such as wage arrears, overtime and so on.
5. The lower body commands the brain
Although Kobe can meet enemies all over the world because of Vanessa, it doesn't mean how loyal Kobe is to his wife. The most famous example is the "QJ case". In July, 2003, Kobe Bryant was accused of first-class X violation, 19-year-old QJ Yingxian hotel waiter. In the following 14 months, Kobe became a frequent visitor to the Colorado court. Finally, Kobe gave the girl some money he should have given in advance, and the two sides reached an out-of-court settlement. This incident also caused a rift in the relationship between Kobe and Vanessa. Kobe bought Vanessa a big diamond ring for $4 million to show his sincerity.
Recently, it was reported that Kobe Bryant and a cheerleader named Vanessa Corey had a spark of love in the game and had an extramarital affair and an underground affair. It seems that Kobe's old habit has been broken again.
6. Get rid of O 'Neill
Lakers coach Jackson mentioned many times in his autobiography that the relationship between Kobe Bryant and O 'Neal deteriorated during the Lakers' three consecutive championships. In the 2004 season, the war of words between them proved their incompatibility time and again. After the Eagle County incident, Kobe once said that he "spent money on sex" because he was O 'Neill's senior, which also made the relationship between O 'Neill and Kobe completely irreconcilable.
For the separation of the two, from teammates to the whole NBA, everyone agrees with the cute fat man, and Kobe only gets the support of the team boss. Kobe became the biggest loser.
7. Abuse the boss and general manager
Kobe Bryant, who kicked O 'Neal out to sign a big contract in 2004, was in high spirits. Of course, the self-righteous Kobe Bryant doesn't thank the Lakers boss for his support. In the next few seasons, due to the lack of good players, it was difficult for the Lakers to make a difference, and Kobe Bryant, who played the best personal data, failed to get his hands on MVP, which made the ambitious Flash unbearable. In the summer of 2007, Kobe's dissatisfaction with the Lakers reached its limit. He mocked the incompetence of the Lakers management and publicly mocked Bynum for insulting the team's general manager and even the boss. In an interview, Bryant lambasted the Lakers general manager: "Kupchak is a complete idiot!" " Then Bryant escalated his discontent again, pointing at the Lakers owner: "Jerry Buss is an idiot! " "
8. The lone wolf in the final
The Lakers' two finals losses have a lot to do with Kobe Bryant. In the 2004 finals, Kobe fell into a solo fight. As long as he has the ball in his hand, Kobe goes it alone, shooting only 38. 1%. In five games, Kobe almost 18 turnovers and 22 assists, so the Lakers lost the championship with 1-4. "ESPN" expert John hollinger therefore ranked Kobe Bryant as the second among the "Top Ten Worst Performers in the Finals History".
In 2008, when the Lakers reached the finals again, Kobe once again lost in a unique style. In the face of Paul Pierce, who is better at one-on-one, what Kobe did can only ruin the Lakers.
9. Abuse and beat teammates
Kobe Bryant didn't seriously reflect on himself when he blindly played singles in the finals, but blamed his teammates. Kobe Bryant, who was defeated by the Celtics in a row and fell behind by a big score, looked gloomy. Ariza patted Kobe to show comfort, and Kobe slapped Ariza angrily with a very angry expression on his face, which was captured by the camera lens in time.
It is common for Kobe to treat his teammates badly. Bynum, who was still a rookie at that time, was scolded and cried by Kobe Bryant, and Farmar and Wharton could not escape the fate of being scolded. Rad Manovic was even worse. He was also subjected to violence by Kobe Bryant.
10. despise Jordan
Kobe has always been known as "Jordan's successor", but Kobe doesn't respect "flying man". On the contrary, he repeatedly looked for opportunities to prove that he was better than Jordan. The most typical example is the All-Star Game in 2003, where Kobe inexplicably ruined Jordan's lore. In 2006, Kobe changed his Lakers number from No.8 to No.24, which was bigger than Jordan's No.23 1. In 2007, Kobe entered the US national team and chose 10 jersey. Coincidentally, it is bigger than Jordan's No.9 1. These "outrageous" behaviors can only be self-defeating and attract the resentment of the whole world.
