Pass the Rock!!

(is he crying?)

PHOENIX – Privately, people wonder: How many more passes does Kobe Bryant(notes) give Pau Gasol(notes) for speaking so boldly about him? How long until Bryant’s public and private reprisal comes with a ferocity that could bring a 7-footer to his knees? All season, Gasol has been a relentlessly consistent, if not passively aggressive, critic of the franchise star’s shooting habits, of an offense that doesn’t deliver him the ball with the frequency that he wants. Whatever the reasons, Gasol has been emboldened to speak his mind. Whatever the odds, Bryant has bit his lip and let it go. “I believe in what I believe,” Gasol said.

I'm surprised there aren't more players speaking up about this. Kobe is what we call a ball hog. If this were 5th grade recess, no one would be putting up with that shit and he would be kicked off the blacktop before he could tie his shoes. Go play foursquare if youre gonna pull that crap. TEAMWORK, BABY! I'm not going to lie, Kobe's nasty, but he is the epitome of why i hate the NBA. Unless you're the Celtics, and you got more than one asshole that can put up points, its just one asshole doing everything. I like to see two or three quick passes and then a slam, not a pull-up jumper with three guys on you. So, Gasol has every right to be mad about this, and the only reason Kobe's not retaliating is becuase he knows its true. Your teammates aren't getting paid millions of dollars just so they can watch you drive to the hoop every time without even considering to pass. Or are they? Come watch me play some bball after school and i'll show you how to play, Kobe. Give-and-go's all day.
