Jim Brown rips Kobe Bryant a new asshole

(1/6) > >>

Hack Wilson - real:
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Two days after Pro Football Hall of Famer Jim Brown said Kobe Bryant was "somewhat confused about culture" and criticized Bryant's treatment of former teammate Shaquille O'Neal, Bryant responded to the comments.

Brown said Tuesday during an appearance on "The Arsenio Hall Show" that because Bryant's childhood from ages 6 to 13 was spent in Italy while his father, Joe Bryant, played basketball overseas, Kobe "doesn't quite fit what's happening in America."

Brown, a running back for the Cleveland Browns from 1957 to 1965, also brought up Bryant's sometimes-icy relationship with O'Neal, saying, "He threw Shaq under the bus."

Bryant, speaking Thursday after the Los Angeles Lakers' practice, said the comments caught him off guard.

"It surprised me in a sense that it came out of left field," Bryant said. "I mean, I've never even met him, so it came out of left field but I do think it's a great opportunity to have these conversations, to have this discussion.

Jim Brown on point.

Except that Jim Brown is talking from a 1960's perceptive and Kobe is talking from a 21 Century perceptive. Working at a college, the black students here are closer to being like Kobe than Jim Brown. Look at most the NBA. Jim Brown has yet to see all the hipsters and dudes who in the 1960's people would say are acting weird. Shaq was a player from the 90's generation which were different than players today. Kobe helped redefine NBA players and brought a more global view, and many players today are trying to redefine their global brand. Jim Brown doesn't have to like Kobe, but Kobe is EXACTLY what's happening in America today. Dude speaks Italian, Spanish and English, expanded his brand to China and has the social media game on lock down. THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING IN AMERICA!

everyone is laughing at jim brown for this...what the fuck he expect, for kobe to put his fist up in the air and shout "fight the power!"?? he bein racist, and thats all it comes down to...Kobe is very in tune with the social and economical issues and is always giving back to the community.. he has multi-million dollar foundations where he takes care of the homeless people of LA and all around the world. jim brown needs 2 step it up..he prolly just mad cuz Kobe married outside his race. actually, i'm almost positive thats it, considering he talkin shit on tiger woods and michael jordan, as well, both who fuck wit bitches outside their race. :grumpy:
