Randy Moss is One Class Act!

[HAWKEYESTATE4ever]

I may have jumped the gun on saying Kobe was a worse teammate/person than Moss. Just bitter that they wasted a 3rd Round pick on 4 games with Randy Moss.

I would argue that Kobe has more than one blemish. Either giving up in the seires against Phoenix a few years back or getting busted calling out Bynum come to mind as two more. Would I take him on my team? Absolutely.

Fair enough. If I were a Vikings fan I would be BITTER about this whole deal. Four games? Crazy. I think he will be good in Tennessee. It is his last shot. Fisher told him today that he expects two things out of him- play hard and don't disrespect the organization. He said "if you do those two things, we will get along great. If not, I will cut your ***." LOVE IT!

Biggest waste of talent since Roy Tarpley.

Really? With Sebastian Telfair still on the table? Moss maybe hasn't lived up to what he could have done, but what he HAS done is still extraordinary (just talking about on-field production).

Kobe certainly has had a few times where I doubted how good of a teammate and leader he was/could be. However, he certainly has matured since then. It took awhile, but he really is a leader now. He's willing to pass it off, willing to ehance his teammates' performance rather than his own. While it's true that the Lakers started winning again, he wasn't exactly a model teammate when the Lakers were dominant early in the decade, either. So I don't think it's just about the winning. He just really has matured as a man, and it shows in every aspect of his game.

And as was said, can't really hold the rape accusation against him. That wasn't even an OJ-level "not-guilty", where not one person in the country bought it because the answer was so obvious. It was an allegation, nothing more, nothing less.
