It really has nothing to do with Kobe or Manu....it has to do with your lack of objectivity.
100% legit foul shooting...LOL why do I not believe that when it comes to Manu? Thanks for proving my point yet again. Kobe never gets to the line legit but Manu always does. Regardless of the fact that Manu is the premier flopper in the league now that Vlade is gone and Fish has lost his step to get himself into position. You know I enjoyed pointing out your double standards and when you are being an idiot but I guess I have you trained so well that you do it yourself now!!! :up:
And Kobe dropping from #1 to #3 has to do with the stretch of time then.....he was shooting more outside jumpers because they were dropping for him. That and he pissed two refs in particular off and they will let him get battered up before they even think about blowing the whistle.
Manu flops on defense, not offense. When one flops on defense and gets the call, their team is awarded the ball, not free throw attempts. Something I'm guessing they don't teach you on SouthPark. But they do teach juvinille vulgarity. :rolleyes: :nonono:[/QUOTE]
Manu acts like an academy award winner on offense when even slightly grazed. All Euro's and South American B-ballers do. They learn it from playing soccer all of their lives. Not sure if you've ever seen a top level soccer game before but guys are constantly faking that they were fouled when they have the ball. This happens all the time in the NBA on the OFFENSIVE end of the court and yes, players often get the call and shoot free throws as a result. I'm singling out the Euro's and this Argentinean, but a lot of American players do it including Kobe and just about any other offensively-minded player that is trying to draw a foul. Reality, are you really that clueless? I think there is a first stage SMUG alert in SD County right now.
So let me get this straight. If Manu scores the last 14 for his team, he's a stud. If McGrady scores the last 14 for his team, he's a stud. If Kobe scores the last 14 for his team, he's a ball hog. Got it, that makes a lot of sense.
And for a Sixers fan to ever call out Kobe for being selfish is laughable. I I I verson doesn't even feel he needs to practice, yet his assists are slightly higher ... so that means he's not selfish?! Malarkey! Sure there are times when Kobe could and SHOULD pass and he doesn't, we all know that. I've seen the same thing with Iverson and McGrady many times over the years. They all have been guilty of trying to do it themselves at certain points in certain games. To say Kobe is more selfish than the other two is laughable, especially when he sets the example for the team by showing up to practice and games early, leaving late, training hard in the off-season, playing hurt. Iverson feels he's above practice and McGrady gets a hangnail and he sits out a month. Who's really more selfish here?
