Kobe is freaking out.
Sonny Viccaro was on the radio today, and he spelled it out perfectly.
Kobe is freaked, because he has realized he cannot carry a team to victory, that he needs help, and probably most importantly...that he is not Michael Jordan. He is Kobe, and we all know what that is, one of the most selfish players ever.
So many people talk about Kobe being the greatest player on the planet, that is pure BS.
He is a great scorer (so was Rick Barry, so was Wilt, so was Maravich, but none of those guys won multiple championships being the man).
Jordan must be laughing his ass off...
The dumbest folks of all of course, are the idiot Laker fans, who would rather keep Kobe and see him play a team that doesn't defend him and watch him go off for 90 points.
Who cares?
The Lakers used to be about winning championships, now days they are only about the whining little bitch named Kobe.
Trade his right now, fire sale the jerk...
So must Phil be quitely laughing inside, taking 10 million a year for watching the Kobe side show.
Kobe is like a freak in a side show at this point.
Quietly, GM's would much rather have many other players than Kobe...you can't build around Kobe, that is the reality most Laker fans don't get.
Even if Kobe ends up playing with a another superstar (I don't know which superstar really wants to be second banana to Kobe) and wins a championship, he will never be the man who made it happen.
