Kobe isn't the best teammate but them losing Dwight cant fall all on him. Before Dwight even was traded to them there were multiple reports that he didn't want to play with Kobe. That should have been the first red flag for management not to make the trade. While I can understand people thinking Kobe should have coddled Dwight and treated him with kid gloves at the meeting. But why should a player as accomplished as Kobe have to kiss his ass for him to want to play with him. We all know Kobe got to much pride to do some shyt like that.

On Pau struggling ..."Put your big-boy pants on. Just adjust. Just adjust. You can't whine about it. You can't complain about it" - Kobe :childplease:

On Pau's injury...

"I love Pau like a brother," Bryant told ESPNLosAngeles.com on Tuesday. "I really do. I want him to dominate like I know he can."

STFU

Exactly, this is reactionary troll thread as usual. :troll2:

Shaq would of have had at least 2 rings without kobe.

2000 NBA finals Stats
Shaq 38ppg
Kobe 15.6ppg

2001 NBA finals Stats
Shaq 33ppg
Kobe24.6

2002 NBA finals Stats
shaq 36.3 ppg
Kobe 26.8 ppg

:dead: Where were the rings with Anfernee Hardaway and Dennis Scott? The only reason he got a 4th one because Wade kept getting phantom calls against the Mavs. You nikkas kill me with this sh*t

What have any of those OP named done without Kobe? Particulary shaq and Gasol? Why did they have their best team and personal success with Bryant if he's the worst teammate ever?

Why did lamar odom go from the Best sixth man in the NBA to arguably the worst player in the league since leaving LA? Where is trevor ariza who was arguably LA's 3rd best player in the 09' Playoffs? Why did smush Parker go from being a starting PG on 2 straight Western conference playoff teams to out of the league after leaving LA in 2008? Sasha and Jordan farmer who were according to everybody big parts of the lakers massive depth in 08-10 are out of the league right now

Fistful of jewels
Chases away Shaq who gave him 3 rings
Chases away D12 because he couldn't keep his ego in check
Turns Steve Nash into a jump shooter
Doesn't stick up for Pau or try to involve him more even though Pau helped him win 2 rings

Champions, because of Kobe. This is professional basketball, not your sewing circle.
