    lol. "Cocky With Class" . U win.

    By the way, I've heard T-mac or AI say similar comments, but I bet you never called them cocky. Pretty Much all the Elite Athletes talk about how unstoppable they are" With the exception of the really humble ones like TD, KG, etc).Even Ricky Davis.. So while you are right about it being cocky, you have to admit you cant single him out.

          ok jordan talk to the media with a classy approach. in the way after hearing what he said, you will just go "wow very proffesional" in the way you can really respect the person. not like " WOW, he's cocky!"

          I am sure all the Pistons &amp; Knick Fans back in the days would have called MJ exactly what you called Kobe, Arrogant and Cocky. It depends on which side of the fence you're on. Thats perfectly understandable.

              Sorry, Laker fan here, but I just had to throw in a comment.

              I saw that interview also, and when I heard him, I just went . He was just uber cocky. He said something like ""I think it's funny when I hear teams say "we contained Kobe", *Shakes head* uh... No you didn't! I can put the ball in the hole when I want to." And while that might be true, he just sounded a little too arogant. I mean, he has every right to say it, since he could possibly do it whenever, but the way he said it.

              <hr /></blockquote><font class="post">


              Yeah, he can put the ball in the hole... with enough shots. If he wanted to put the ball in the hole whenvever he wanted to, he'd shoot 100%. Unless of course, he only kind of wants to put the ball in the hole, and is waffling on that whenver he attempts a shot.

              Kobe's a great player, but I seriously think his ego's out of control. I don't know if even Jordan was this cocky.

                  @ neovmatrix You're right. I dont know about you. But I only know so much about Jordan since I didnt grow up watching him. And thats the same with a lot of us here. So we're kinda mixing things up between how he was in the mid to late 90's and his stint with the wizards.

                  I think Athletes reach a point where they are at peace with themselves and dont have to worry about being cocky and they even come of as humble. But its mostly tied to maturity which is tied to age.

                  I cannot imagine a 35 year old MJ sounding "cocky" although he always knew he was the best. But I can imagine the young MJ being like that.

                  That being said I feel its best we compare players like Kobe to their peers(i.e Tracy, A.I. Vince etc) rather than comparing them with legends like Mike that do no wrong in our eyes.

                          I'm sure he didnt mean he can score WHENEVER he wants because that's impossible for ANYONE.

                              Score as in make a shot attempt.

                              I'm assuming he meant he can get a "decent , in his opinion" shot attempt off and more often than not score.
