haha Raja Responds to Kobe

[rongotai]

On "Nothing but Net" a Suns show on suns.com Raja Bell responded to Kobes comments

Kobe about a week ago: "I don't even think about Raja... I've got bigger fish to fry. You've got to be kidding me."

Bell replied :"Well, you know, I think that's pretty retarded of him to say.If he's got bigger fish to fry, then why am I on his mind? Kobe is a great player, but I guess he thinks his talent somehow translates into being a tougher person... And I will challenge him on that any time he wants."

I love Raja

[Matthew]

ha ha ha, yeah thats hilarious. Kobe gets asked a question about a chump, and he says he's nothing, and you have a bat that raja got offended? Go watch wrestling and think its real

[Dro]

Great find.

That's hilarious...I love Raja as well. He's a tough guy, but he's also a funny guy and what he says actually makes sense, which is more than can be said about 90% of players in the NBA.

Is Raja challenging Kobe to a fight? I'd put good...very good money on Raja to win that battle

Chris Childs anyone?

EDIT: Here's a pic to go with it:

[Axel]

I wonder how many technicals Raja will bait Kobe into.

Kobe can go for 50 but Raja will make him work hard for it, and shoot a bad percentage... which is something you cant do and beat the Suns.

[Matthew]

Yeah last game against the sunsa kobe really stuggled against the awesome defence of bell

[Matthew]

Great find.



EDIT: Here's a pic to go with it:

and it didnt even knock kobe backwards..

[TRUball]

Matthew double posted!

Even though I'm all about Kobe... didn't Miller kick his ass? I can't remember the fight...

[Matthew]

Matthew does what matthew wants to .

Yeah Reggie and kobe wrestled at the end of a game, its impossible to tell who won.

[Matt]

you have a bat that raja got offended?

lol

true though, this is nothing....besides Bell shouldn't get Kobe riled up, sure he's a good defender but he aint gonna bother Kobe.

[rongotai]

He bother's the hell out of Kobe

Kobe nearly punched him earlier this season

[Dro]

Great find.



EDIT: Here's a pic to go with it:

and it didnt even knock kobe backwards..

Of course it didn't...although clean, that had to be one of the most pussiest punches in the history of ever. Shame...he's probably the only person to ever have that clean of a look at Kobe and he wasted it!

[TRUball]

Matthew does what matthew wants to .

Yeah, that was before Kobe bulked up also.

This is the kind of thing that fuels Kobe up, he'll just come out even better now. I won't be surprised if Kobe goes for over 60 against the Suns.

[J@3]

He bother's the hell out of Kobe

Bothers him into 42.5ppg over 4 games this season

[Matthew]

He bother's the hell out of Kobe

Kobe nearly punched him earlier this season

Which game was that? The one he scored 50, 43, 39 or 37 against bell

"he plays good defense on kobe"

He sure does

[rongotai]

Firstly when he scored 43 Raja wasn't playing

Secondly don't you remember when Kobe shot like something like 12-33 against the Suns oh ok real bad D

Kobe has had his way once this year on Bell and when Kobe is in that form he was in when he got 51 you can't stop him

[Matthew]

Its not Kobe's fault that Raja is soft and didnt play

Kobe against Bell this season:
51 points on 19/33 fg
37 points on 12/33 fg
39 points on 13/26 fg

He had his way once? He's averaging 42.3 ppg on 48% fg. Pheonix is in trouble if Raja Bell is the answer. Remember what kobe did to him in the 2001 finals?

[rongotai]

Like I said he had his way once with that 51 point game

38 PPG on 43 % in the other two games if My math is correct

Well yes I do Kobe abused him back then

[Matthew]

You cant pick and choose which games to compare. Raja is rubbish, and Kobe will torch him.

I couldnt be fucked looking up the 2001 finals boxscores. But im sure superstar raja dominated

[J@3]

38 PPG on 43 % in the other two games if My math is correct

Well yes I do Kobe abused him back then

So +3ppg and -2FG% on Kobe's season averages is a good result for Raja Bell?

[rongotai]

Yes it is actually

This series has just gotten even more heat, It's gonna be great

[Dro]

No ones going to stop Kobe. Nobody can stop Kobe...not even Ruben Patterson

The best Raja can hope to do is get in Kobe's head and prevent Kobe from making smart decisions. If Raja Bell can prevent Kobe's teammates from getting involved, he's done his job, no matter how many Kobe scores. That's why even though Kobe torched him this season, Raja still did a good job, because we won.

[Silas]

Bell's a good defender, but you all must admit nobody can defend kobe one on one, especially if he's having a good night.

[rongotai]

Exactly

And who else for the lakers got going that game ? No one

[J@3]
