A day after the the Rams' biggest regular season victory in over a decade and a half against a divisional opponent no less, the sports talk hosts here in Los Angeles are spending more airtime on "Kobe Bryant Day". The Rams' Flagship station is even rebroadcasting some of Kobe's great games. Meanwhile the guy was cheering for the Eagles at the Coliseum when the two teams played. Don't get me wrong; I enjoy basketball but Kobe was the biggest "ball hog" in the history of Laker basketball. It was always about him. And the Rams have to take a back seat to this dude. NFL football is still the nation's #1 sport. What a joke. Well, I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow before we get back to the Rams!

PS--I hope when they uncover his uniform numbers (8 & 24) and install him in the Staples Center Ring of Honor that they mention little affair with another woman in a hotel room while the club was on the road, too.
Shame on him and Shame on the Lakers!! My wife, a Laker fan since she was a kid, switched her allegiance to the Cliippers when the news emerged.

Ironically, the only station that gave more airtime to the Rams' victory was the Mighty 1090, sports station based in San Diego!!

Most of the sports shows I listened to today talked more about the decimated Hags team instead of the up and coming Rams . What's new

Like it or not Kobe is a legend in LA. Rightfully so, he helped bring 5 championships to LA. I've heard nothing but praise for the Rams since yesterday, so as a Lakers and Rams fan I'm enjoying the Rams victory and Kobe day. I don't need to defend Kobe, his career speaks for itself.


Kobe Bean Bryant (born August 23, 1978) is an American retired professional basketball player and businessman.[3] He played his entire 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He entered the NBA directly from high school and won five NBA championships with the Lakers. Bryant is an 18-time All-Star, 15-time member of the All-NBA Team, and 12-time member of the All-Defensive team. He led the NBA in scoring during two seasons, and ranks third on the league's all-time regular season scoring and fourth on the all-time postseason scoring list. He holds the NBA record for the most seasons playing with one franchise for an entire career and is widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time.[4][5][6][7] Bryant is the first guard in NBA history to play for at least 20 seasons.
With career averages of 25.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.4 steals per game,[297] he is considered one of the most complete players in NBA history.[347] He was the first player in NBA history to have at least 30,000 career points and 6,000 career assists,[335] and is one of only four players with 25,000 points, 6,000 rebounds and 6,000 assists.

IDK Gentlemen, I listened to Cowherd & Gottlieb and they could not stop talking about how the Rams pounded Seattle. Gottlieb going on and on about the bully being put to rest and other bits and pieces I listened to confirmed the slaughter.

Never been a Kobe fan

Magic and Jerry West were way better Lakers in my opinion

Agreed. Not to mention classier players and team guys. I have never liked Kobe and the championships never reversed that.

Rams are going to own LA after they win the Super Bowl. Don't know if it will be this year, but it's comin IMO.

Not a Cali Native but it doesnt surprise me. The NBA is low-key in a golden era as far as player popularity (due to them appealing to millennials, especially given we live in the youtube highlight generation) and Kobe is the one Superstar who millennials and previous generations both grew up seeing win (at least until LeBron retires).

Plus its only the Rams second year back in a Lakers/USC town.
 
I quit the Lakers and the NBA in the midst of those championships that he and Shaq accumulated. II like the days of Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Gail Goodrich...and then Kareem, Magic & Showtime...Shaq and Kobe turned me off and the rest of the NBA.

Plus Kobe just gave inspirational talks to the Eagles before the Rams v Eagles home game....I have no time for that &%$@#!

I would understand if they were talking about Lonzo Ball or a random Lakers game, but it's Kobe Bryant and his jerseys are being retired. He's a legend and deserves his day.

They'll be talking once the playoffs start - don't worry

Is Kobe going to attend the ceremony or is he nursing a retired sore vagina?
 
It's funny, La Media hardly ever talks Rams but yet they wonder why fans never show up to our home games. How are fans supposed to get excited about the ram so they never talk about them?

A lil anal isn't an affair...

I find it hard to believe Kobe got as much as the Rams on the radio....I even heard Fred Roggin talkin Rams and McVay.
 
Respect Greatness! Kobe is a Legend. 20 years same team. 5 titles. 3rd greatest point total in NBA history. Great Defender. An assassin/hardest worker of his generation and most clutch. Hates to lose. They don’t make athletes like him anymore. It’s his night. Plus the Lakers stink and the Rams will have the spotlight from next week on. Didn’t know there was this many Kobe haters on this forum. Geesh.

I keep saying it....

Baseball town
Then The Lakers
Then football.
In the big picture the Rams haven't done much yet.
Kobe is one of the best of all time.
End of story.
