Curt Schilling, please stop blogging

From his blog called 38pitches.com

5) Kobe. This one stunned me a little bit. Who doesn’t know Kobe Bryant right? I only know what I have heard, starting awhile back with the entire Shaq debacle. I don’t really have an opinion one way or the other on or about him other than to know that people feel he might be one of the 4-5 greatest players to ever lace it up. What I do know is what I got to see up close and hear, was unexpected. From the first tip until about 4 minutes left in the game I saw and heard this guy bitch at his teammates. Every TO he came to the bench pissed, and a few of them he went to other guys and yelled about something they weren’t doing, or something they did wrong. No dialog about “hey let’s go, let’s get after it” or whatever. He spent the better part of 3.5 quarters pissed off and ranting at the non-execution or lack of, of his team. Then when they made what almost was a historic run in the 4th, during a TO, he got down on the floor and basically said ‘Let’s f’ing go, right now, right here” or something to that affect. I am not making this observation in a good or bad way, I have no idea how the guys in the NBA play or do things like this, but I thought it was a fascinating bit of insight for me to watch someone in another sport who is in the position of a team leader and how he interacted with his team and teammates. Watching the other 11 guys, every time out it was high fives and “Hey nice work, let’s get after it” or something to that affect. He walked off the floor, obligatory skin contact on the high five, and sat on the bench stone faced or pissed off, the whole game. Just weird to see another sport and how it all works. I would assume that’s his style and how he plays and what works for him because when I saw the leader board for scoring in the post season his name sat up top at 31+ a game, can’t argue with that. But as a fan I was watching the whole thing, Kobe, his teammates and then the after effects of conversations. He’d yell at someone, make a point, or send a message, turn and walk away, and more than once the person on the other end would roll eyes or give a ‘whatever dude’ look.
Let me reiterate that this is from a complete basketball newbie, so for all I know this could be exactly how these guys play this game and interact with each other.
The contrast though, for me anyway, was watching KG and Allen, Pierce, as the game went on. I was literally ON the Laker bench so I could only watch the celts on the floor, and it was just different. it was all about who has whom, who goes where, what’s up next. That could have been a direct result of the officiating and flow of the game though, more than anything.

It was just amazing to watch a game where the Lakers came out, completely set the tempo in the first few minutes and TOTALLY dominated the final four minutes, and in between the Celtics completely dominated them.


WHERE DOES THIS GUY GET OFF?!

LMAO, Curt Schilling is calling out Kobe Bryant, easy guy. If someone called him (Schilling) out and knew nothing about baseball (as he knows nothing about basketball) he'd have about 14 of his fruity ass little blogs up. I'm sorry but this guy is nothing but meaningless hot air.

why is that clown posting blogs about basketball?

[westcoastO]

lol why is he posting blogs at all. before someone comes in here flaming me with something like "oh why do you read them" only reason i checked this is because it was on the radio this morning and wanted to read it. schilling just never shuts up about anything, after a while no one wants to hear your s**t, its like he tries to keep himself relevent just because he's not playing right now, i cant stand this a**hole.

[westcoastO]

he's an idiot.

jordan used to make f***ing players run sprints. he was as much a "coach" as Jackson. I can't stand this pale moron and I wish he would just go away. Him and his fruity ass blogs.
