Dbricks, He could not show he was nervous when he was in the battle for his life four years ago, but you can bet he was. Actually, by kobe saying he was nervous was in a way kobe letting down his guard which was nice to see. He really seems to have matured both on and off the court.

Exactly ab, that is what I was trying to say, the first itme we have seen kobe in fact let his “guard down”…that was the whole point of the article, it was def a diffrent side of Kobe!

Stop worrying this man’s personal life and let’s celebrate what he has accomplished since joining the Lakers.Shaq didn’t win those rings by himself,ya’know.

STOPHATIN’THELAKERS.com,If they put us in Kobe’s position NONE OF US would be able to handle it.

ab4sure,

You hit it right on the head by saying he let down “his guard”. Kobe has been known to not let anyone in his personal life. But of course that was as a really really young rookie.

But, I also think that after ALL the criticism that he has endured made the MVP experience more of of an emotional experience for him. Basically, we all saw the human side of him which he never lets anyone outside his personal circle see. And at the same time he was humbled by the whole experience.

i see what you’re saying but i don’t think he’s being fake. I think he has answers rehearsed and he’s very good at ducking questions he doesn’t want to answer so I think that makes him appear fake at times. I think his problem is that as much as he may want to be like MJ and LeBron (basically ultra marketable robots) he can’t help being real, hence his explosion this offseason and the Shaq drama. Have you heard Kobe’s rap songs? That’s Kobe being fake.

I love Kobe, but I feel that when he talks he’s being so fake. You guys notice that with his demeanor and his laugh or is it just me??

When Kobe admitted that he indeed did commit Adultry, I saw an emotional, ashamed person. Expressing his sorrow, and embarresment. I did not see a nervous person, he still said what he needed to say, in a professional and real fashion.

Kobe for the first time in his professional career, was indeed nervous and out of sync at the MVP conference. That is what suprised me. King.manu said it best with him entering the NBA with oakleys on his head, and smiling for the cameras. Kobe has always played it cool, and always knew what to say

With admitting adultry he expressed his sorrow. In no way did he ever come out and look scared like his career is over, or hes afraid hes going to jail. I never saw that during that time in Kobes life. I feel this is the one true time where kobe was jittery and really didnt know what to say, and that is why it is indeed a rare glimpse of KB24
