Kobe to TMZ -- Tell Me How Your Foot Tastes

Kobe Bryant just made us eat a fat spoonful of our own words -- after we were dumb enough to throw the following line in our LeBron James post this morning:

"For the record -- you won't see Kobe Bryant wearing a shirt with his individual accomplishments plastered on the front of it during his championship parade today -- he's gonna let the trophy do the talking."

Kobe Bryant

It's Kobe. We should have known better.

46. Kobe may have gotten away with rape but he is money on the court. Queen James is little more than a pretender. Don't give me this nonsense about him being the only player on his team. The NBA is so diluted it makes even James look good. Put James in circa 1985 and watch him get his big dumb ass handed to him. He couldn't have played for Denver back then.

47. Ummm...Derek Fisher wore the same shirt as Kobe, because they BOTH have 4 championships under their belt.

49. TMX need to stop hating all the time. Do you realize Kobe or LeBron don't care about what you think.

51. # 34 IS ACTUALLY RODNEY CONLEY. NONE OF THESE CELEBERTIES, ACTORS, ETC. GIVES A RATS ASS WHAT ANYONE ON HERE THINKS. JUST KEEP BUYING THEIR SHOES, CLOTHES, PAYING TO SEE THEIR MOVIES, PAYING TO GO TO THEIR GAMES. YOU CALL THEM DEGRADING NAMES BUT YOU ARE THE ONES KEEPING THOSE BIG BUCKS IN THEIR POCKETS. DON'T BE MAD AT THEM GET MAD AT YOUR SELF.

53. Lebron is an embarrassment to Cleveland. This is the town that made him, filled his wallet and pays the mortgage on his 35,000 sq. ft. home!!!! Now he snubs his fans. I hope he goes to NY. Cleveland deserves a better player that's not a sore loser....Lebron can witness losing his fans then. Money has certainly gone to his head!

54. You can't put a 5th ring on a 4 finger hand...what is that? A hand from the Simpsons???? LOL...I knew Kobe was a cartoon character!

55. Derek Fisher was wearing the SAME shirt, another wrong story. You can find the pic on yahoo sports

56. Hey Lebron...why not pack up your 35,000 sq. ft. home and go to NY already??? You can embarrass NY the way you have Cleveland!!!!

57. It has to do with his Nike commercials and the puppets. Kobe's shirt had to do with actual clothing sponsors while LeBron looks like a fool,

58. There is a huge difference in Kobe wearing his shirt to a parade celebrating his most recent NBA championship than Lebron wearing his after he choked his team out of the NBA playoffs. Then again, if I was a sport star I would wear a shirt with me on it all the time. So who am I to point a finger haha

59. Why in the world is A TMZ writer A. Writing about Kobe's personality and how it jives with (B.) Basketball.

First off, everyone knows Kobe is one of the most selfish players to EVER play...Sure the guy has scored 81 points but does nothing with his team (0 assists the whole game?) You're gonna have half the defense focus on you and you can't even find an open man for a bucket while you score 81?? PATHETIC.

Next, TMZ SHOULD NEVER EVER write about basketball ever again. Kobe Bryant is the biggest baby to ever play. I've never seen anyone have such a sore loser sourpuss face on every call that gets made during the game. Even if the call isn't on him he still has his patented bitcface.

Lebron James WON THE MVP! AND DESERVES THE AWARD BECAUSE HE PASSES THE BALL. I CAN GUARANTEE THE FIRST TIME LEBRON WINS HE WON'T HAVE A PICTURE OF HIS HAND with his tattoos on it showing his rings.

Well TMZ! I SURE HOPE YOU LEARNED something ABOUT KOBE BRYANT AND BASKETBALL TODAY...

NOW SHUTIT PERMANENTLY AND LEAVE IT ESPN. You can't even gossip or talk crap right about LeBron praising Kobe and you mess that up TOO! LOOSER, Stick TO WHAT YOU DO BEST BEING: nerdy celeb gossip on some scientologist asshole killing their kids by not giving them proper medication.

Lastly, T

The fact that Kobe is wearing a shirt that DOESN'T GIVE ANY PARTICULAR PROPS TO THIS YEAR.... MERELY HE ONLY GIVES PROPS TO HIS TITLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS--forget the rest of this years team...Kobe is SELFISH...

I HAVE 4! SEE EVERYONE!? LOL THATS NOT BEING SELFISH???? HEY T, DO YOU NEED SOMEONE TO LOOK UP THE DEFINITION OF SELFISH FOR YOU? HOW ABOUT THE DEFINITION FOR DUMBASS?

WOW KOBE WON 4 TITLES, YOU ARE DUMB. SHE ARGUED HE WOULDN'T WEAR ANYTHING THAT SHOWN HIMSELF OVER THE TEAM....

IF U HAVE 4 TITLES AND THE REST OF THE TEAM HAS 1 (besides fisher) THAT MEANS HE IS PUTTING HIS OWN ACCOMPLISHMENT IN FRONT OF THIS YEARS TEAM...WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT SHE ARGUED...

60. Umm...he was wearing that shirt at the Laker Championship Parade, not shopping on the street like that douche Lebron. AND...all of the Laker players had on championship t-shirts. Derrick Fisher had one on just like Kobe. So SHUDDUP. Kobe is not arrogant, he's a champion. It's his attititude that makes him a winner. Stop hating.
