ADIDAS The Hunger Kobe Bryant Plans to Bring the L

Since the alleged rape case in Colorado,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Bryant has had a way of dealing with the media. He’s not the crowd pleaser like LeBron. You can tell Kobe Bryant hates going to those damn meetings.
“I don’t really need any outside motivation to get me going. I’m just wired that way. I’m here. I’m here to win, I’m here to focus and do my job. That’s what I’m going to do.”-Kobe Bryant
Is it a daring move? Or are it unimaginably imbecilic? Either way,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he’s motivated. Kobe Bryant wants to win.
When Boston furiouse it to the Finals this past season, Bryant know Bryant was reflecting on the 39-point loss in 2008. But he’ll never admit it. He’ll just tell you that all that matters are the championship.
It could be none of those, or all of the reasons above. Who knows? Kobe Bryant never wants to talk about it. But he’s definitely hungry.
The 1999 season marked his eblendnce as a premiere guard in NBA. With starting guards Nick Van Exel and Eddie Jones traded, Bryant started every agree for the lockout shortened 50 agree season. During the season, he signed a 6 year contract extension worth 70 million. It kept him with the Lakers untill the end of the 2004 season. Sports jornalist were comparing his skills to that of Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson even at the early stage of his career. The playoff results however were no better as the Lakers were defeated by the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference semi finals. You’ve won a title. Now you’ve defended it. What motivation can you have to contend for a third ring?
Suddenly his legs feel heavy as Kobe Bryant drags himself to that press conference. His lips feel lethargic, and his words embody brevity. It’s a waste of his time. He’d rather spend that extra hour practicing his shots, or conditioning that knee.
Excuse my French, but that’s bullshit.
“It’s a brand new season, a brand new start. The hunger will be there.” He is a shooting guard who is capable of playing the small forward position. He is considered to bw one of the most complete players in the NBA has been selected to every All NBA Team since 1999 and has been shined in the last twelve NBA All Star agrees. Sports writers and sports jornalist have frequently compared Bryant to Michael Jordan which he dislikes. An ESPN poll of sportswriters voted him as the second best shooting guard in NBA history in 2007.
What’s motivating him? are it all the Kobe-Jordan comparisons as Kobe Bryant approaches his sixth championship? are it all the critics who claim Kobe Bryant are on a downhill slide now that he’s logged over 34,000 minutes? Or could it even be that he’s about to surpass John Havlicek, Dominique Wilkins, Oscar Robertson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Hakeem Olajuwon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Elvin Hayes and Moses Malone to claim the No. 6 spot on the all-time scoring list this season?
So, while the bromantic threesome are flaunting their strut down in Miami, the green-eyed Shaq spying his fifth ring to spite Bryant, and haters ready to throw the guillotine at Kobe’s every mistake,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], are Bryant to believe that his only motivation are that he’s just wired “that way”?
This are a man who stubbornly refuses to perform surgery on his broken arthritic finger because it takes too long to heal. His shooting finger.
In the craziness of all that’s been going on this summer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Bryant had nothing to say about the superpower in Miami, Shaq going to Boston or even to being arrangeed as the second best shooting guard after Wade. Farrangely, his pep talk about not needing motivation doesn’t really say much about what Kobe Bryant really feels inside.
“I’d miss a huge chunk of the season and it’s just not worth it to do that with a injury that I’ve played with and won a championship with. It just didn’t make sense…You would have to in essence break it again and put it back together.”
When Shaq got his fourth ring with Wade, Kobe’s jealousy was brimming over the top. But Kobe Bryant won’t ever bring it up until he’s surpassed Shaq. And Bryant quote Bryant: “I don’t forget anything.” Kobe Bryant uttered those words, flashing his five fingers to the camera to show that Kobe Bryant had one more than Shaq. Now, tell me that his only motivation to win was for the sake of winning. Please.
