quote:

When a news reporter suggested Bryant was the best U.S offensive player in the low post other than center Tyson Chandler, Bryant stopped the question.

“No, no, no,” Bryant said. “Not other than Tyson Chandler. I’m the best post player on this team, period. Tyson Chandler is not in that conversation.”

Asked what it’s like to be the old guy on the team, Bryant said, “I’m where everybody wants to get to. I just happen to be still playing.”

“Can you learn anything from these young guys?” he was asked.

Bryant: “No.”

“You know everything?”

Bryant: “I don’t know if I know it all, but I know more than they do.”


What a jackass.

I wonder what the rest of the team, if they were being candid, really thinks of these quotes.

He's been in LA since he was 17/18 years old. When he does eventually retire its going to kill him. What the hell will that guy do?

His comments don't surprise me. His clock is ticking.

Only Kobe can make Lebron seem down to earth.

This is true seeing as Tyson has NO post game at all

I guess I'm just not big on throwing teammates under the bus to the media.

Meh. I don't look up to athletes and politicians to be role models. I have very low expectations and I don't know him personally.

The guy's job is play basketball at an elite level. IDGAF if he's cocky like that.

he did not throw them under the bus

he just said he was better in the post than all of them, and they he knew more than all of them, which is probably true

it's not really about being a role model for kids; just about being an a-hole or not to your peers

This is why I like Kobe, I cant stand the Chris Paul's and LeBron's who want all the other players to be their best friends. I like to see rivalries and trash talk.
