Kobe Bryant has an obstacle in front of him, and that is when he is at his best. That is when he is most driven.Kobe at age 35 is working on a comeback from a ruptured Achilles that might have ended the career of lesser players. But Kobe was not going to let the image of him limping off the court be the last one of his career. He is fighting to get back in the game. He is fighting for that sixth right.And former teammate Antawn Jamison said count him out at your own risk during a radio interview with ESPN Los Angeles (as transcribed by Ramona Shelburne at ESPNLosAngeles.com).I would never count Kobe Bryant out of anything, Jamison said Friday in a radio interview on ESPN 710 in Los Angeles. I've played with some special players. Gilbert Arenas when he was [in Washington D.C], at the top of his game, LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal [in Cleveland]. I've played with a lot but never played with an individual player who had the type of mindset, the drive that he has. If [Bryant] says he's going to win a sixth ring, believe me, he's going to do everything possible to get that ring”One of the things standing between Bryant and that ring is Jamison’s new team — the Los Angeles Clippers.A lot of pundits (this one included, once we get to prediction season) are picking the Clippers to win the Pacific Division again and be a real threat in the West. There are questions to be answered, no doubt (starting with defense), but with some younger players maturing (Blake Griffin, D’Andre Jordan) and some quality additions (J.J Redick and Jared Dudley) plus a coaching upgrade the Clippers should be dangerous.Jamison says the team is talking title.You have probably two of the best players in the NBA [in Chris Paul and Blake Griffin] and you have a collection of guys where money is not an issue. Nobody is playing for contracts. The only thing we are here for is to win a championship, Jamison said. I think before Doc [Rivers] got here you might have thought they were thinking,[url=http://www.christianslouboutinvip.com/]Christian Louboutin Clearance[/url], OK, we might be one year or two years away, but with Doc being the coach, that mindset is not even in existence. It's about winning now. We believe we can win this year.Having a veteran like Jamison off the bench and in the locker room can help with that. And look for Rivers to use Jamison more wisely than Mike D’Antoni did last season. |
