I've read comments on various forums and social media sites from people hating on Kobe for not being amused while watching that. Why the heck would he be amused or anyone be amused watching those clowns led by Nick Young acting silly after winning ONE game in the midst of losing a bunch more. Yeah yeah let them enjoy one win since they don't win that often, blah blah blah. I can't cosign with that. I'm with Kobe on this one.

I understand both sides of it though. Kobe is made of different stuff, his life is basketball. Losing is everything and winning is everything. For guys like Hill and Young, those guys are just happy to be in the NBA. I think Lin is a guy that has higher motivations but just not there yet...any ways they are young dudes too, they are in a completely different state of mind from a 36(?) year old MVP and 5x champion.
i understand but.... after losing so much id be happy with a win as well. its human nature. u cant be bitter all ur life.
The guy tired of being side kick played hero ball in their 2002 and 2003 playoffs and lost the Lakers' title. Lakers struggles without Shaq Until a prime Gasol came and bailed him out with 2 titles.
Why do you separate Lin? Dude was never drafted and the Rockets paid to trade him away. He's happy to be in the NBA too. He's just another bench player who comes in and hopefully provides a spark, he's a actually a bench player on a very bad team at that. A lot of times he's flat. He could easily be out of the league before 30 if it's pure basketball reasons. I don't get why people treat him differently. He's a below average player who puts himself above the team. Great role players don't do this. "Luke 6:29 - If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them"
