I am not returning here but this must be said.
I am sick of all the accolades about Kobe and here is why.
First the player...one word narcissist.
I know he won 5 NBA titles but his first 3 were with Shaq. If he did not have Shaq on the team he would have never won those 3 NBA titles. He showed how much he appreciated Shaq that he convinced the spineless owners of the Lakers to get rid of Shaq. Again, without Shaq and I do not care who could have been there instead of Shaq Kobe would not have won those 3 titles without Shaq. At that time the NBA game was a Center Guard game. Without a star at center and guard there is no championship, period.
Kobe's other two titles he had two talented 7 footers on the team. Without them no titles.
Kobe is a narcissist.
Kobe is no Jordon; he is no Bird; he is no Russell. True team super stars elevate the play of his teammates. Name me one player that Kobe elevated his teammates play. I can not think of one.
50 shots and all those points in his last game. Big deal. Utah already packed it in before their last game against the Lakers and the refs just looked the other way. Pass to a teamate...not in his play. Defense...I did not see any in that game by Utah. Hell I scored 35 points in my last pro game in Europe when nobody was playing defense. Kobe played the first 81 games like he played his 82nd game. All about him. All about him. That is how he played all of his games during his 20 years in the NBA.
He never matured as a teammate. NEVER.
Kobe is a narcissist.
Oh, how well did the Lakers do the last 3 years? Just plane awful. I will divide the blame between Kobe and the spineless owners of the Lakers. I could have drafted better then the Lakers.
How many blue chip free agents wanted to play with Kobe? Can you name any? I can not.
Now his life off the court. One word... narcissist.
Another word RAPIST.
If it wasn't for the strange laws in California where a person can write a check to avoid jail time for felony charges, Kobe would still be in jail. Does the name Michael Jackson ring any bells? Kobe admitted the rape charge (some what) by saying that "in my mind the sex was not forced but I realize now in her mind it was." If it looks and sounds like a duck it is a duck. If he raped my daughter I would have had his legs broken in pieces. He never would have played B ball again.
I don't know what is Kobe's problem is with his parents but there is no love between him and his parents. I did not see his parents at his last game.
Hell I was an average pro player in Europe but my mom came to my last game.
He is the most selfish "super star" I have ever seen.
Please, I am already throwing up about the praise Kobe will get when he pollutes the Hall of Fame with his entrance.
Give me a break.
