The Miami Heat are charging along with the first seed in the Eastern Conference while the Los Angeles Lakers are doing significantly worse than expected. To change that Kobe Bryant has gone from a shoot first guy to a facilitator and it’s worked out for the Lakers. When asked about that and more, Lebron had a funny response. Read more after the jump.
per Ethan J. Skolnick of The Palm Beach Post:
When asked if he buys the idea of Kobe as a distributor: “No. I don’t buy that. He’s told you all before he’s a scorer.”
LeBron didn’t want to comment on Lakers’ situation. “Last time I commented, Kobe asked me if I wanted a cookie. I like cookies, by the way.”
LMAO if you don’t know where the cookie reference came from let me enlighten or remind you.
With pressure mounting on the Lakers to perform well with their new squad it was compared to what the Heat endured when they compiled the “Big 3”. When asked about the comparison Lebron shot it down.
“No one will ever be able to compare what we went through,” James told reporters. “Even though they’re not winning and they’re losing a lot of games, it’s still nowhere near what we went through.
“Yeah, right. That level of magnitude was nowhere near where ours was two years ago. Nothing. Nothing compares to it.”
Kobe was asked for his thoughts on Lebron’s comments and answered as only he could. “What does he want, a cookie?” Kobe said, via the L.A. Times.
Looks like Lebron does want that cookie after all.
