Kobe Bryant: Does He Need a Smirk Check?

Is it just me, or does Kobe Bryant have the most annoying, whiny smirk on his face you've ever seen?

I mean, I used to like him, but it's like he's tried to develop a Jordanesque facial pose without any success.

Or is it just me?
 
Peyton Manning makes an excellent whiny smirk. Can usually be found right after a blown play, or when he's throwing a teammate under the bus.

Here's someone that put up a collage of it:

Eli made a few appearances in there too, but you get the idea :)
 
No, I think it's the fact that he's a fuckwad that makes you dislike him, therefore the smirk pisses you off.

I have the same weakness.

That could be it, too. Curt Schilling wrote a piece after he sat next to the Lakers' bench for Game 1, about how Kobe was just tearing into the team constantly, blaming everyone else, and basically being a diva on the sidelines.

Of course, not the "classiest" move for Curt to basically report the goings-on of the Lakers' bench, but it's still an interesting look at that disfunction. A little "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" bit to dispute all those nice character pieces they were writing about Kobe this year about him being a team player, finally "getting it" and fitting it, etc. Turns out he's still a selfish asshole, the team just played better, so the media assumed things WERE better...
 
Curt Schilling is a piece of shit himself and would whine like a little bitch if someone were able to be close enough to the clubhouse to "report" on what goes on in there.

Yeah, but the man can throw a baseball without "help" a la the Roger.

As for Kobe, he definitely has a decent streak of jerk running through him.

:lol:
And I was just about to post, who's Kurt Schilling? Thanks.
 
according to the announcer, it's the biggest ass-whupping in NBA Finals history. And that was BEFORE they were up by 35 points! If there was any doubt about the Celtics being a championship-caliber team, I think those have been answered tonight...
 
according to the graphic at the end of THIS game, the bulls' record for that game was 40 points at the end. Celtics had 39, so were right there. Had a 42 point lead with a minute left, but the Lakers sunk a 3-pointer to make it 39 again...
 
Kobe tries to be Michael... but now he has a distinction that Jordan never got... NBA Finals LOSER.
The greats find ways to finish... This was supposed to be the year Kobe showed he could do it without Shaq... and the only thing we saw him do was choke

So...what? Is the NBA disbanding after this season? If I'm not mistaken, Kobe will get another shot at that first ring without Fatass next season. Stay tuned. :)
 
True... but Kobe is supposed to be the next Jordan... Jordan went on a 6 in a row streak once he hit his prime... (took a baseball break in between)

Kobe has not been able to get the Lakers anywhere without Shaq until this year... and right when they were on the brink of sure victory, they chocked!

Kobe will get another chance next year... But a true champ finds a way to win on the greatest stages... Kobe has yet to do that.
