nikka Shaq and Bynum were playful and jovial, Dwight just didnt have the backbone to tell Kobe fukk off, which is all that Kobe truly wanted, Coward couldnt deal with a nikka constantly g checking him he aint built for that he has no backbone.......................

Bynum would directly talk shyt to Kobe about his ball hogging ircc these hoe dight was like a girl talking behind his back
Doing impersonations and shyt thats a passive aggressive p*ssy ass move, his soul probably melted when Kobe checked him about it on some
shyt
I don't dislike Dwight Howard but that's a b*tch n*gga statement 
But how would Dwight and Kobe verbally going at it help the team?
All the greats fight, it keeps everybody accountable, and not be passive and deflective with that laughing shyt, when the shyt hits the fan
Lebron and wade go at it, them constantly rides their teammates even when winning. I feel sorry for Chalmers at times
Kobe mechanical drive brought out the best in Shaq, although they clashed
KG stays riding his teammates back and in their ear
Jordan was a fukking terrorist whipping teammates ass and shyt
Between the ball hogging, rape accusations, douchey attitude and constant reminders of how many rings he has, apparently Kobe isn't a good presence in the locker room.
Who woulda thunk?
why did all the players hate Dwight HOward and reported to Kobe everything Dwight said about him then??

Lakers fans need to get over it, sticking around with this team just isnt desirable. People keep acting like he's a bytch for not wanting to stick around with a losing team that can't properly rebuild because of political/nostalgic reasons, a team whose fanbase preemptively hated on him so they could act like they weren't going to be 
when he left. The Lakers and Kobe can have their little farewell tour for the next 3-4 seasons so Kobe can try to inflate his career scoring mark but no player is a bytch for not wanting to stick around for that shyt.

What great or championship team ain't went at each other verbally. From Lebron and Wade throwing jabs in the media and screaming at each other and Chalmers (ALWAYS at Chalmers), to Dirk calling out Jason Terry on playing like shyt and needing to step it up in 4th quarters the year they won the title, to Kobe, Pau and Bynum constantly going at each other about Kobe needing to share the ball. Damn near every championship team has instances of players going at each other and holding each other accountable.
I don't even blame Dwight for leaving. Rockets are a more sure bet basketball wise while the Lakers are a pipe dream with all their 2014 cap room. Even though I still think the best basketball situation for him would've been trying to make his way to Golden State. A Curry, Iggy, (Klay or Harrison), Lee, Howard combo would've been vicious and fit absolutely perfect together. Then the Rockets after that.
If he was smart or more media-conscious he would just leave it at saying the Rockets were a better fit roster wise being they are younger and on the rise and leave at that. Making comments like this one just reaffirms the image that everyone has of him as someone that doesn't care as much about winning and more about having a good time.

Little boy..the thing you don't understand is that the Lakers ALWAYS WIN. Whenever they are down..there's always teams that look younger, better, more talented. But in the end..THE LAKERS ALWAYS WIN.
When Kobe almost left in 07, Chicago and Clippers looked like they were on the verge of breaking through to the elite. So much young talent. Kobe wanted to go there. He stayed and guess what? Lakers won two more chips. How many Chicago and LAC got?
So right now, Lakers look down again and a team like Houston looks more attractive to Dwight because at this exact point in time, they have more talent. Young Dwight Coward ignored the fact that the LAKERS ALWAYS WIN. And even if they don't have that talent at this very second, chances are they're gonna get it soon enough, and anyone who thinks the Rockets are gonna hoist up a trophy before the Lakers get #17 is smoking that funny shyt.
Don't be so shortsighted. Let history guide the way. The Lakers always, always win.
I see where you coming from, but I think that it would have helped in this situation.

I don't knock Dwight, he needs to be around people that fits HIS personality and Kobe didn't. Just like Dwight didnt fit Kobe's personality. It ain't that deep. Personally I'd have trouble with Dwight and Kobe's personality, two extremes, but Kobe would be more beneficial, I can't stand forced clown acting people like Dwight, I'd have to be in the mood.
Why isn't he getting the same treatment Lebron got? This dude got his coach fired, tried to get Kobe released, etc. Am I missing something?
