The Kobe/Hayward Relationship

[RJF]

Along wiht dropping over 20 on em in his rookie preseason, Kobe has always gushed about Hayward since that time we beat the lakers on the road, after DWill was traded.

I'll never forget that Favors screen which led to the vintage Hayward lefty dunk (with the crowd gasps after).

I am very much liking retired Kobe.

What year was it? I'd love to find it on YouTube.

Kobe's shtick has gotten weird post-retirement. I think he just wants to attach himself to every successful player to give himself shine.

This could very well be true. Or he could have an absolute love for the game much like ARod in baseball who everyone raves about as far as his genuine passion and eagerness to teach and help youngsters. We just don't know.

That said, the Kobe hate on this site is a little old by now. Dude is an all-time great who thrashed us. We don't like, we should've beaten him. But Boozer was too busy watching Kobe fly to the rim and Kirilenko was too busy playing WoW to give a damn as much as we did. Kobe worked his *** off and deserves his place with the elite. Even if he was a bit of a prick. Just like Jordan mind you.

Yo, we want Hayward to become more like Kobe. Stays with one team, ruthless competitor. These are good things.

But yeah not full Kobe. Don't want any rape trials or his toxic locker room personality.
