Kobe defends Adam Morrison on Jimmy Kimmel: “Adam can really play. Like he can really, really, really go. And for him to take a step back and to do things like that really helped us get to that championship level”
Kobe respected work ethic. Supposedly it’s one of the reasons he hated Smush Parker was because Smush was lazy as hell
is McGee the only basketball player that overcame having asthma?
Sad it didnt work out for Adam Morrison
Did Morrison really have both type 1 diabetes and asthma?
I mightve mixed uo Morrisons condition
Me being an idiot from time to time is not unheard of
James Harden has asthma.
Me too
u/lalakingmalibog is James Harden confirmed
That and his knee injury
why the fuck is some bullshit AI video being uploaded instead of an actual quality cut with Phil’s and Kobe’s clips lol
what a garbage ass video
His late night show is pretty good too
Kimmel sucks, what’re you talking about lol
I’m not a huge Kimmel fan, but he’s infinitely better than Fallon.
Sure, but that’s a really low bar to pass.
Conan was the peak
I guess I would be a bad scout. I thought Morrison was going to be a really solid player in the league.
Health messed him up.
He averaged 12-3-2 and was 4th in ROY voting.
Yup I remember thinking dude was gonna be an elite level scorer. Always rooted hard for him.
Ngl I still laugh at the “Adam Morrison contributions to the NBA Finals” edit that’s just him picking his nose, getting ignored for a fist bump, and randomly celebrating in full street clothes as Game 7 against Boston ended lol
Even bench players can contribute by playing hard in practice
Imma downvote this post for being straight booty.
Why was Adam Morrison the only player Kobe was ever nice to?
Kobe respected people with killer staches
I don’t think many people realize how hard it is to manage type 1 diabetes. I like to think Kobe respected how hard Morrison had to work to make it to the NBA
Huh? Kobe had issues with several teammates but most also loved him. Turiaf, Odom, Bynum, DJ, Fisher, Barnes, Gasol, Butler, Russell, Vujacic, Artest, and plenty others.
Yeah, the only ones he ever actually beefed with were Shaq for being lazy, Smush for being lazy, Samaki Walker for stiffing him on a bet (punching him was a bitch move by Kobe), and Jeremy Lin for, well, no one on either side ever said why exactly (many people speculate it was racism, but Kobe didn’t beef with Sun Yue who was on the 09 team and spoke highly of Kobe). He was still pretty abrasive at times even to people he was on good terms with though.
Him and gasol famously got along well, he’s the godfather to one of his kids
White people buy shoes too
LOL
