LMAO...Is this even a valid article? It seems like one of the many Kobe haters typed up a long essay about why he hates Kobe...LOL...It's actually pretty funny, Kobe is not playing his best, but is still putting up awesome numbers, averaging the most assists he ever has as well as leading the league in scoring...Pretty amazing...Kobe has come off as nothing but a nice guy, offering apologies to Shaq and Malone within this past week (for shit he hasn't even done)...But that's all right, when you're on top, there's always someone trying to bring you down...Just don't post up bullshit articles like this anymore, because it's just a bunch of Kobe bashing that doesn't really tell us something we didn't know...PeACe

Dan Le Batard writes for the Miami Herald and is one of the few guys in sports journalism who isn't afarid to to express his opinions even though a lot of people might not agree with them. That's way his Sunday morning radio show on ESPN Radio was popular. He's not afriad to criticize anyone and although one of his major flaws is that he sticks up for Barry Bonds a little to much and doesn't go after him. He's still one of the best sports writers in North America.

He is right about Kobe being selfish. Remember is was who got Phil and Shaq booted out of LA because he couldn't handle Phil's style and he wanted to be the man. And Kobe expects his teammates to give him 110%. That's selfish

What are you talking about? Shaq demanded to be traded because he didn't want to play with Kobe any longer and wanted more money from the Lakers; money they weren't willing to offer...Kobe is the one who said he wouldn't mind playing with Shaq for the rest of his career...Damn man, get your facts straight.

Aren't you the one who said Kobe and Shaq were best friends? Kobe wasn't going going to stay with the Lakers if Shaq was still there. And Shaq was tried of pretty up with Kobe's bullshit. You say Kobe said he wouldn't mind playing with Shaq the rest of his career. Nice how Kobe said that after Shaq is already in Miami. Also nice how Shaq isn't making more money with the Heat.

You need to get your head out of Kobe's ass and face the truth. He's not as great as you think he is.

How come Shaq said: "If Lakers dont trade me i'll retire"?
Kobe, as a Free Agent, forced him to say so?

It's not that we have our head in Kobe's ass. It's that Lakers GM and Lakers President both told the press Kobe NEVER asked to trade Shaq. So said Kobe's agent. So wrote Phil Jackson in his book.

There's only Shaq who said it. Why should i trust you and Shaq over Kobe, Lakers president and former Lakers coach?

I wouldn't trust Kobe if my life depended on it. He's lost all benefit of the doubt. Yeah I believe Shaq more than Kobe because Shaq doesn't have the history of lies and trying to make a team all about him. When Shaq's on a team, players get better. When it's just Kobe, your team just barely finishes above .500 and fights for the playoffs.

LMAO, damn man, you're dumb...First of all, I never said Kobe and Shaq were best friends, I said they weren't arch enemies and at the time I said it, they weren't...That was also around the time Shaq's wife was making comments about the two being "like brothers who argue"...Kobe also didn't say that he wouldn't mind playing with Shaq the rest of his career when he was already in Miami, he said it after their loss to Detroit while Shaq was still a Laker...Get your facts straight before you come on here acting like you know something, idiot...Shaq isn't making more money with the Heat, but one of the reasons he was mad at the Lakers organization is because they weren't offering a contract extension and he felt like he deserved a lot more than he actually did...Stop judging Kobe when you probably haven't even seen him play basketball or haven't even watched him speak...Stick to posting WWE news...PeACe

Most of the players on the Lakers coming off seasons with other teams have improved their stats this year with Kobe on their team...Kobe's averaging almost 8 assists, the best of his career...Once again, you prove that you don't know what the fuck you're saying...PeACe

About the record, i say Lakers one is better than Miami's one. I mean consider Miami is playing in the wackest Conference and Division, and they aint impressing nobody yet. Only Wade is playing great. Lakers have a new coach, a new gamebook, 11 new players from last year, and they play in the hardest Conference and Division. But still they are in the Play Offs, and they can only improove with the time.

Oh.. anyway.. Chucky Atkins +2.5 points, T.Brown +2.5 points, Butler +4 points, Cook +4 points, Jones +4 points, Mihm +4.5 points.....
The only one who's playing worse than last season is Lamar Odom, the one me and Nik are criticizing till now.. but it's his own fault!

I like Kobe Bryant because he's a big fan of Marco van Basten :)
