Kobe's black elbow has long been known in the league. As early as 2005, Kobe retaliated by elbowing Mike Miller to the latter's face on the spot bleeding, not only refused to apologize after the game, but also claimed that it was an eye for an eye, resulting in a two-game suspension.
Kobe's elbows peaked in 2007. First, he elbowed Ginobili in a game with the Spurs on Jan. 28 because the latter blocked his shot, and although the referees didn't call a foul at the time, the league added a one-game suspension for Kobe.He elbowed Jaric in the face in a game with the Timberwolves on March 6 and was banned by the league for one game because Jaric blocked a three-point shot by Kobe in an earlier defensive play.Then, in the first game of his return to action, Kobe elbowed 76ers forward Korver's face was suspended after the latter posted up on him endlessly throughout the game.
And while those were penalized elbows, there have been countless black elbows on Artie like today's, the most recent of which had to be a big swing at Artie in a regular-season game with the Rockets, but the referee just pulled the two apart. Even Kobe's black elbows have been directed toward his own opponents, with Radmanovic the poor victim in last year's Finals.
2. No friends
Kobe because of the selfish and arrogant character in the NBA league to make their own very poor relations, even their own wedding and daughter's birthday party such as the appearance of only some of the Lakers staff, enough to see Kobe's way of dealing with people.
O'Neal is recognized as a good person in the league to get along with, but with Kobe **** thing for many years after all with Kobe turned against, Kobe's people really let people dare not praise. Even if this year's All-Star game two people together clink glasses, we feel is still seemingly the same.
In addition, the 2001 finals, the 76ers ultimately missed out on the title because of the lack of strength. In the players channel, Iverson and Kobe encounter, the answer to reach out his hand to congratulate him, Kobe is oblivious to high head stride away ...... politeness? Manners?
And the era of the Four Heavenly Kings, in addition to the old Malone, the entire Lakers team do not give Kobe passes, Malone also became the only friend of Kobe in the team at that time. But even so, Kobe is still because of the unfounded "cuckold" event and Malone flipped, obviously in the eyes of Kobe, the woman is heavier than everything.
3. And family against each other
Talking about the incident with Malone, we have to talk about the female protagonist Vanessa. In a way, Vanessa is also Kobe's enemy of the world's culprits. 2001 April, Kobe despite the strong opposition of his parents with his high school classmate Vanessa married, resulting in a break with the family. This breakup was so bad that Kobe didn't even invite his parents to his wedding with Vanessa. For a long time after the wedding, Kobe cut off contact with his parents. Although with age and the birth of Kobe's daughter, Kobe has made up with his parents, but the conflict and gap between them still exists.
4. Abusive nanny
And Vanessa recently got Kobe involved in another scandal. On March 26 of this year, Maria Jimenez, the former nanny of the Kobe family, took the Kobesha to court on the grounds that she was too tired and abused and humiliated by the couple while working for the Kobe family, and that she couldn't tolerate the poor working conditions. Maria had expressed the idea of quitting her job to Kirby, which she tried to elicit an apology from Vanessa, but it resulted in Vanessa being verbally abusive to her again. Additionally Jimenez was subjected to a number of unspecified injustices such as unpaid wages, overtime, etc.
5. The lower body commands the brain
Just because Kobe can be the enemy of the world because of Vanessa doesn't mean that Kobe is loyal to his wife. The most famous example is the "QJ case". In July 2003, Kobe was charged with first-degree assault and battery on a 19-year-old hotel waitress in Eagle County. For the next 14 months, Kobe was a regular in Colorado courts, and in the end, Kobe gave the girl some money that he should have given in advance, and the two sides reached an out-of-court settlement, which also caused a rift in Kobe's relationship with Vanessa. Kobe spent 4 million dollars to Vanessa bought a big diamond ring to show heart.
And recently there was news that Kobe and a Vanessa Curry cheerleader were in the middle of a game. Looks like Kobe's old habits are at it again.
6. forced away O'Neal
Lakers skipper Jackson mentioned in his autobiography, the Lakers three consecutive championships, Kobe and O'Neal's relationship has deteriorated, and in the 2004 season, the two repeatedly erupted in a war of words has proved that the two do not fit, "Eagle County incident" Kobe has said that he
For the two parted ways, from teammates to the entire NBA are unanimous to the lovely big fat, and Kobe only got the support of the team owner. Kobe became the biggest loser.
7. Abuse boss general manager
2004 ousted O'Neal and signed a large contract of Kobe can be described as the wind, self-righteous Kobe think this is deserved, the Lakers boss's support and he did not have a trace of thanks. And the next few seasons due to the lack of good players, the Lakers hard to do, playing the best personal data Kobe also failed to stain the MVP, which makes the ambitious flyer unbearable. 2007 summer, Kobe on the Lakers dissatisfaction to reach the limit, he made a big satire of the Lakers management incompetence, openly mocking the Bynum insulted the team's general manager and even the boss. Kobe in an interview scolded the Lakers general manager: "Kupchak is a complete idiot!" And then Kobe escalated his dissatisfaction again by pointing the finger at the Lakers' owner: "Jerry Buss is a dumbass!"
8. Finals lone wolf
The Lakers' two Finals losses had a lot to do with Kobe, who was caught in a one-man battle in the 2004 Finals. As long as there is the ball in the hands of Kobe will do it alone, the result of the shooting rate of only 38.1%, five games Kobe's turnovers 18 times and the number of assists 22 times difference, the Lakers thus 1-4 lost the championship. ESPN" expert John Hollinger therefore Kobe as "ten individual worst play in the history of the finals" second.
In 2008, when the Lakers made it to the Finals again, Kobe once again lost to his egotistical style. Against the more adept one-on-one Paul Pierce, Kobe's approach only served to bury the Lakers.
9. Abusive beating teammates
When the finals on the one-touch singles led to the championship side of the Kobe did not seriously reflect on their own, but blamed his teammates. Kobe was sitting on the court with a grim look on his face after being beaten by the Celtics in consecutive games and falling behind by a large margin. Ariza patted Kobe to show consolation, Kobe angrily and heavily back to pat Ariza, face is very annoyed expression, the camera lens in time to capture this picture.
Being mean to his teammates is a common occurrence for Kobe. Still rookie Bynum was scolded by Kobe cried, and Farmer and Walton can not escape the life of scolding, Radmanovic is worse, but also by Kobe implementation of violence.
10. Contempt Jordan
Kobe has always been crowned "Jordan successor", but Kobe is not to the "Flyers" as a tribute, on the contrary, but also repeatedly looking for opportunities to prove themselves stronger than Jordan, the most typical example of this is the 03 year The most typical example is the 03 year of the all-star game, Kobe not understand the style of stirring up Jordan's kill. 06 years, Kobe will be their own Lakers number from 8 to 24, than Jordan's 23 big 1. 07 years, Kobe into the U.S. national team chose to 10 jerseys, coincidentally, this is bigger than Jordan's 9 big 1. These "treacherous" behavior can only be clumsy to attract the world's disgust.
