Way to go Kobe

When the Lakers decided to go with Kobe as their guy and get rid of Shaq, I wonder if they realized that they were condemning themselves to mediocrity. Kobe has proven, beyond any doubt, that he is concerned about himself first and the team second. Yeah, he is racking up some serious point totals, but he still takes a ton of shots when he is not open instead of passing the ball to someone that is open. I heard an interview with him from the past couple of days were he refers to his teammates as his guys, and that they are giving him their best effort. Not for the team or the fans, but for him, the great Kobe. You have to admit the guy is on a roll, first the rape charge (and the admitted affair), then he accuses Malone of hitting on his wife (damn, someone who was accused of rape and had an affair saying someone else is hitting on his wife, good thinking Kobe!), he rips on Shaq, and frankly his team ain't that damn good.

Don't get me wrong, he is a very talented player, one of the best for sure, but he is not a team player, and there aren't too many of them that have won a title.
