Kobe Bryant does not want to hear your thoughts on the Lakers 0-2 start to the season. Los Angeles have not started a season 0-3 since 1978 heading into tonight’s clash with Staples Center co-tenants, the Clippers, and a win against their rival would help ease some of the pressure already faced by Mike Brown in just his second season in charge of the purple-and-gold. Bryant says unless you’ve already won an NBA championship, he’s not interested in your opinion.
“I’ve won so I can (tell people to shut up).” For Mike it might be a little tough to say that so I’ll say it for him: ‘Everybody shut up. Let us work. At the end of the day, you’ll be happy with the result as you normally are.’
I don’t understand,” Bryant said with a smile when asked about the distress the Lakers’ poor start has created amongst the city. “And I’m trying to bite my tongue and not calling them ‘dumb,’ which I kind of just did.”
