master p dissed kobe for being a fake
Master P just still bitter he never made the league. -
A lot of revisionist in this thread concerning Kobe. That ? wanted Chris Paul and a shot to pass MJ in rings. The NBA vetoed the deal. Odom felt betrayed period. And back in 2011 Kobe had major pull within Lakers and wanted That trade to happen period Odom was just a casualty to the business of winning another ring. Odom was just trying to get off in a ? house. Partied to hard off viagra

Lamar Odom Deserves Better
Lamar Odom is not a punchline. He’s someone who has lived in a state of self-medication as a means of self-preservation.
It’s difficult to not be sickened by the media noise—and social media sewage—surrounding Lamar Odom
The onetime NBA star is fighting for his life in a hospital bed after allegedly taking a deadly combination of drugs in a Nevada brothel. Odom has a history of illegal drug use, psychological pain, and a litany of family tragedies that would chop down 99 percent of the human population. Odom at times would write the names of his deceased relatives on his sneakers. They included his mother, Cathy Mercer, a corrections officer who died of cancer when he was 13, and Mildred, the grandmother who raised him and passed away early in Odom’s NBA career. Lamar’s father, Joe Odom is a disabled vet who has wrestled with heroin addiction.
I met Odom when he was 20. I assumed his ego would be as large as his talent, given his 6′ 10″ size, point guard skills, and New York City pedigree. I assumed his well-known personal tribulations would make him guarded. I could not have been more wrong. Instead, he was just… nice. He wanted to be liked, and he was beloved. He managed to happily subsume his own individual greatness in the name of team goals on two Laker championship teams.
Even with all of the tragedy he carried on his back, Lamar played an NBA career where he was almost without exception the most adored person on his team.
I spoke with NBA vet and current Magic assistant coach Laron Profit. He echoed what we have seen across the sports pages. “Best teammate anyone ever had,” he said. “Nobody will dispute that. Heart was so big, wanted everyone to feel like they mattered. But he had such a tortured soul from all the death he saw.”
And yet so many of the media takes are steeped in judgment and mockery. At a moment like this, we should reflect on Odom’s own words.
Speaking to some celebrity stalker with a video recorder recently, he said, “I don’t believe in what y’all do, I don’t believe in following people around…do not disrespect my space. Do not disrespect my character because that’s what y’all been doing…y’all have discredited me, beat me down, took my confidence, took everything away from me, you will not do it again. I know what your companies are about. I know what they do to brothers. I know what y’all doing to the rappers. I know you want them beefin’. I know you want them arguing. Y’all don’t do Leo like that. You don’t do Brad like that. Y’all don’t do them like that.”*
Lamar Odom is not a punchline. He’s someone who has lived in a state of self-medication as a means of self-preservation. Now he’s fighting just to live. Unless you are sending out prayers for his survival, please just shut the hell up. That goes for everyone from the bottom-feeding Piers Morgan to the random Twitter egg. Too many people are too destroyed by this to have to sense your bile. Be better than that for them. Be better than that for Lamar Odom. Be better than that for everyone who carries the weight of tragedy yet still makes others happy to be alive.

hope LO makes it. them Lakers years were legit and frustrating as a fan. LO be missing wide open putbacks and layups and ? .. but then he'd go on a good little streak. you never knew from playoff game to playoff game how he'd perform.

Kobe wasn't in LA getting ? traded. Any GM in the league would've traded LO for CP3. Who's fault is it Odom caught feelings and found out the NBA is a business and not a family?
I know y'all hate kobe, but its his fault Lamar OD'd in a ? house in Vegas years after a failed stint with the Knicks and the mavs?
Lamar's a 35 year old man with depression and substance abuse issues, we don't need to finger point to make this any more tragic.

I was mad he got traded because that was actually his best year with us.. But yeah i use to ate when he use to pick up that offensive foul he was prone to in transition -

Tell me about it. LO would miss the easy bunnies but then he'd hit that corner three or get a and1. Very hard to watch as a fan. -

Master P got da nerve. He couldn't "save" his younger brother from trying to "keep it real" and still living in da projects and end up in prison for da rest of his life. He couldn't "save" his big brother from da streets and he ended up dead.
I never defend Kobe but P need to chill out on da dumb comments. -
I understand wher p is coming from, I think his message is misdirected though, and he's coming off as a bit of an enabler.

Not sure many knew how trill dude was...is.....
Homie had...has.... passion,just not guidance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKLDeAtv8eQ -
That video was trill as ? . Had to play it twice.
-
its easy to pick on kobe cuz we dont view him as a real ? as not being black enough, which is unfair and uncalled for.
black people are our own worst enemy. All kobe ever wanted to do is become the best basketball player he could be and win multiple championships.
did his own way against media people and fans who dislike calling him a ballhog, a wanna be jordan. yet he accomplished what his goals were.
that sound like a real ? to me, doing what u wanna do regardless of the haters -
jesus christ!! why do yall actually care what master p has to say?
-
That video was trill as ? . Had to play it twice.
agreed but u cant reason with TMZ. they are soul less monsters. -
-
So this dude was found unconscious at the brothel man I can't make this ish up.
I hope Lamar pulls through because he genuinely came across like a somewhat nice guy off the court, but dude has got that monkey of substance abuse on his back.
Maybe the biggest waste of talent as a basketball player that I seen in years dude had the skill set to be a superstar but was content on just being pretty good nevertheless hope he pulls through and cleans up his life.
? bias is the father to Lamar Odom style.
Yea it's a shame he never played a minute in the league, but I still say Odom was a bigger waste hell Odom at least got a chance to play and improve his game Bias was robbed of that opportunity.
Odom was lazy, sensitive and stayed under the influence
