Around SBN: Yankees Deny Rumors That Team Is For Sale

Happy Birthday, Kobe Bean Bryant!

Today is August 23, and it's Kobe Bryant's 33rd birthday.

Kobe-bryant1-282x368_medium

What do you get the man who has everything? Well, I think you get him an NBA season. Do you think the NBA will grant him that wish? Probably not, at least not any time soon, right? At any rate, my greatest wish for Kobe is good health (in his knees and ankles) and another ring so he can start a collection on his other hand. Who's with me?!

BUON COMPLEANNO, KOBE!!!

I think

he’s that one guy who steals high fives, like a ninja.

Kobe!

I think he needs a MVP, All-Star MVP, and Finals MVP.

Nothing would make me happier than seeing CP3 traded to the Lakers. Mitch, make it happen!

Sounds like you're saying ...

he needs MOAR.
MOAR MVP.
MOAR Rings.
But probably not MOAR of the Lakers cap space.

Having just turned 33 myself I really shouldn't read comments about Kobe's age.

Grading age on the NBA curve makes a guy feel old.

Have an excellent day Kobe! (wherever you are)

trade this dude for Lebron, DO IT MITCHHH!!!!!!11!!!

Always Lurking. Always. Yes. But not that often.

I always like being the hunter, I’m going after something. It doesn’t matter that I have one now, that means nothing to me. I have five (NBA titles), next year I’m playing like I don’t have five, you know what I mean? I’m playing for that one. I’m not looking over my shoulder and seeing who is coming behind me, I’m coming to get something else.

I wish you health, an MVP, a finals MVP and another ring. Most of all, I wish you (and us) a season….

More rings, please!

Happy Birthday, Kobe!

It’s crazy that he’s 33 already, it seems just yesterday he was that young upstart kid with the fro! :) Now he’s 33…wow!

Birthday wishes? I wish him personal happiness and health….more rings….and Dwight Howard as his new teammate!

Simply the Best...

Happy Birthday Kobe and many more…birthdays and rings!

PS
I really hate that picture, he looks oddly twisted and his face looks like it was shot with a fish eye-lens! Kinda, sorta…
Sorry.
