Nesretni dani završavaju sretno

Došlo je vrijeme za novi post.

Srijeda mi je cijeli dan bila nestretna, pao sam 4 puta i poplavilo mi je koljeno i bole me obje ruke zbog toga, u školi dobio cipelarku od luđaka i što je najgore, kasnije, na treningu oganuo zglob na nozi:

Prije treninga sam se dosta nalupao u školi, stalno sam padao, tj. bio bačen. Več sam tada bio sav ranjen. Kada je počeo trening boljela me ruka kad sam dohvatio loptu (zbog onog padanja u školi). Na samome kraju treninga igrali smo štafetu, sve je dobro krenulo dok se nije dogodio skandal! U drugome krugu štafete, kad sam radio dvokorak sa desnom sam nogom krivo stao i pao na pod kao ustreljen. Trener me noseći odveo do klupe, nisam mogao hodati. Išli smo u Klajčevu i nije, hvala Bogu niš strgano.

Nisam mogao hodati (zabolio me zglob kad sam stao) na desnoj nozi, do čak jučer sam cijeli dan skakutao na ljevoj... Mislio sam da neću ići na natjecanje iz matematike u ponedjeljak.- Sve to do jučer!

Jučer sam uspio zakoračiti desnom nogom. Uspio sam, hodao sam! Ponovno sam prohodao na istom mjestu kao i prije ohoho godina prvi puta! Prohodao sam kod bake... smijeh !

Naravno, nastavit ću sa košarkom, ali ne odmah, moram se još bolje oporaviti.

Do sljedečeg posta! Bok...

Dobra utakmica

Danas sam u 7 h igrao utakmicu. Treneri su, od nas 30, odabrali 12 za utakmicu. Išli smo u Samobor! Igrali smo protiv Samobora! Čak je i bolje ići nekamo, trener odabere najjaće (12), ostalih slabijih nema i naravno da ćemo, svaki od nas, igrača, igrati duže jer nas je manje. smijeh Među odabranima bio sam i ja! naughty party

Na terenu nisam igrao prvu postavu jer me nije bilo na zadnjih par treninga. Dobro, vrijedi. zijev
U početku smo vodili, sa prvom postavom. Pa su se neki izmijenili, pa opet, pa opet... Izjednačio se rezultat negdje oko 20 zaliven . Ušao jedan jači igrač od naših, Zatim je bilo oko 21:27. I tako sam ja, točno tada (kada je bio taj rezultat) ušao u igru. Napokon.... Lijepo sam se dodavao, čak me ni trener nije opomenuo, gađao sam 2-3 puta po košu i fulao, ali ja bi i idalje gađao da me trener ostavio malo duže u igri. Mislim, bio sam jako kratko. Neka naša dva igrača su stalno griješili : jednom je stalno ispadala lopta, drugi je stalno bezveze gađao po košu, još se i trener ljutio. Ali, ipak, ali ipak, igrali su duže od mene.Stalno su bili u igri, a ja ne.

To je neka nepravda, ili je zbog toga što nisam bio par dana na treninzima, ili neznam...nepravda!

Na samome kraju sam ponovno ušao u igru. Kad je pobijeda bila sigurna. Kao da se trener bojao da ja ne zeznem i da će zbog mene protivnici pogađati više koševa. A ZA ONU SE DVOJCU NIJE BOJAO!! mad burninmad

Igra je završila našom pobijedom 44:66.

Kobe Bryant

Žarko ste tražili Kobe Bryanta pa izvolite, jako veliki post, čak je i na engleskom jer nema na hr. Ako žarko želite mogu vam prevesti koji dio.

Ako vam se ne da čitati post, a želite komentirati i neda vam se spuštati do dna posta jer je jako dug, klikni ovdje i automatski se spusti na dno posta.

Kobe Bean Bryant (born August 23, 1978 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American All-Star shooting guard in the National Basketball Association who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. He is the only son of former Philadelphia 76ers player and current Los Angeles Sparks head coach Joe "Jellybean" Bryant. He rose to national prominence as he became the first guard in league history to be drafted out of high school. Bryant was ranked #59 on SLAM magazine's Top 75 NBA Players of All Time in 2003.

Early life

Kobe Bryant is the youngest child and only son of Joe and Pam Bryant. His parents named him after the famous beef of Kobe, Japan, which they saw on a restaurant menu.[1]

At the age of six, Kobe, his parents and two older sisters, Shaya and Sharia, moved to Italy, where his father began playing professional basketball. He became accustomed to the lifestyle and became fluent in Italian. At an early age, he learned to play soccer and his favorite team was AC Milan. At the age of 7, Kobe got his first leather basketball. It became his constant companion. Bryant even slept with it. Bryant once said that if he had stayed in Italy, he would have tried to become a professional soccer player.

In 1991, the Bryants moved back to the United States. A spectacular high school career at Lower Merion High School in the Philadelphia suburb of Lower Merion, brought Bryant national recognition. While his SAT score of 1080[2] would have ensured his basketball scholarship to various top-tier colleges, the 17-year-old Bryant made the controversial decision to go directly to the NBA.

Early NBA career

1996 Draft

Even before he was chosen as the 13th draft pick overall by the Charlotte Hornets in 1996, the 17-year-old Bryant had made a lasting impression on then-Lakers general manager Jerry West, who immediately foresaw the potential in Bryant's basketball talent during pre-draft workouts. West stated that Bryant's workout was one of the best he had ever witnessed. West continued his quest to return the Lakers to championship status and startled spectators by offering and completing the trade for starting center Vlade Divac to the Hornets for Bryant.

Growing pains

During his first season with the Lakers, he mostly came off the bench behind guards Eddie Jones and Nick Van Exel. Bryant played limited minutes initially but this changed as the season continued. He earned himself a reputation as a high-flyer and a fan-favorite by winning the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest.

In Bryant's second season (1997-98), he received more playing time and began showing more of his abilities as a talented young guard. He was the runner-up for the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award, and through fan voting, he also became the youngest NBA All-Star starter.

While his statistics were impressive for his age, he was still a young guard who lacked the experience to complement Shaquille O'Neal and significantly help the team contend for a championship.

Championship years

However, Bryant's fortunes would soon change when Phil Jackson became coach for the Los Angeles Lakers. After years of steady improvement, Bryant had become one of the premier shooting guards in the league, a fact that was evidenced by his annual presence in the league's All-NBA, All-Star, and All-Defensive teams. The Los Angeles Lakers became perennial championship contenders under Bryant and O'Neal, who formed an outstanding center-guard combination. Their success gave the Lakers three consecutive NBA championships in 2000, 2001, and 2002.

End of a dynasty

In the 2002-03 NBA season, Bryant averaged 30 points per game and embarked on a historic scoring run, posting 40 or more points per game in nine consecutive games while averaging 40.6 in the entire month of February. In addition, he averaged 6.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 2.2 steals per game, all career highs up to that point. For the first time in his career Bryant was voted on to both--All-NBA and All-Defensive 1st teams. After finishing 50-32 in the regular season, the Lakers floundered in the playoffs and lost in the Western Conference Semifinals to the eventual NBA champion San Antonio Spurs in six games.

In the following 2003-04 NBA season, the Lakers were able to acquire legends Karl Malone and Gary Payton to make another push at the NBA Championship. With a starting lineup of four potential Hall of Fame players in Shaquille O'Neal, Malone, Payton, and Bryant, the Lakers were able to reach the NBA Finals. In the Finals, they were eliminated by the Detroit Pistons in 5 games. In that series, Bryant averaged 22.6 points per game, shooting 35.1% from the field, and 4.4 assists per game.

Conflicts and turmoil

In 2003, Bryant's reputation was tainted by the Kobe Bryant sexual assault case, in which Katelyn Faber, a young woman from Colorado, accused Bryant of sexual assault. With his image badly tarnished, the public's perception of Bryant plummeted, and his endorsement contracts with McDonald's, Nutella, and Ferrero SpA were terminated. Sales figures from NBA merchandisers indicated that sales of replicas of Bryant's jersey fell far off of their previous highs.

Even before being arrested for rape, Bryant was known to publicly feud with his teammates, including Shaquille O'Neal (see Shaq-Kobe feud), Samaki Walker and Karl Malone. In 2004, a dispute between Bryant and former teammate Malone became public prior to Malone's expected re-signing with the Lakers. Bryant claimed Malone had made inappropriate comments to Bryant's wife. Malone claimed the comments were in jest and that Bryant was overreacting [1]. In the subsequent months, rather than re-join Bryant and the Lakers, Malone turned his attention to the possibility of joining another team, but ultimately decided to retire.

Unquestioned leader

When O'Neal was traded, Bryant became the Lakers' unquestioned leader of the team going into the 2004-05 season. As it turned out, however, his first season without O'Neal would prove to be a very rocky one. With his reputation badly damaged from all that had happened over the previous year, Bryant was closely scrutinized and criticized during the season.

A particularly damaging salvo came from Phil Jackson in The Last Season: A Team in Search of Its Soul. The book detailed the events of the Lakers' tumultuous 2003-04 season and has a number of criticisms of Bryant. In the book Jackson also calls Bryant "uncoachable."

Then, midway through the season, Rudy Tomjanovich suddenly resigned as Lakers coach, citing the recurrence of health problems and exhaustion. Without "Rudy T," stewardship of the remainder of the Lakers' season fell to career assistant coach Frank Hamblen. Despite the fact that Bryant was the league's second leading scorer at 27.6 points per game, the Lakers floundered and missed the playoffs for the first time in over a decade. This year signified a drop in Bryant's overall status in the NBA by not making the NBA All-Defensive Team and being demoted to All-NBA Third Team.

2005-06 season

The 2005-06 NBA season would mark a crossroads in Bryant's basketball career. Despite past differences with Bryant, Phil Jackson returned to coach the Lakers. Bryant endorsed the move, and by all appearances, the two men worked together well the second time around, leading the Lakers back into the NBA Playoffs. Bryant also resolved his conflict with former teammate Shaquille O'Neal. The team posted a 45-37 record, an eleven-game improvement over the previous season, and the entire squad seemed to be clicking. In the first round of the playoffs, the Lakers played well enough (3-1 series lead) to come within 6 seconds of eliminating the second-seeded Phoenix Suns before finally falling short with Tim Thomas's 3 pointer that sent the game to overtime(they ended up losing to the Suns in OT). Even with Kobe Bryant's remarkable game winning shot in Game 4, the Lakers broke down, falling to the Suns in Game 7. In the following offseason, Bryant had knee surgery, preventing him from participating in the 2006 FIBA World Championship tournament.
