    So tired of this attention whoring whiney b****. Retire already and become a recluse. Nobody cares and you're no longer relevant.

    I know everyone is going to love this quote because people are much more likely to side with the competitive fire guy (read: dick) than they are the affable jokey guy when it comes to sports.

    But this quote does much more to confrim kobe's reputation as a really bad locker room guy and a garbage teammate as it does throwing shade on Dwight.

    Kobe couldn't get along with one of the the league's all time greatest centers, causing Shaq to leave.

    Kobe couldn't get along with one of the league's all time great coaches, causing PhilJack at one point to tell kupcheck "I won't coach this team next year if he is still here. He won't listen to anyone. I've had it with this kid."

    Kobe couldn't get along with the best center in the league at the time, leading to Dwight leaving the org and leaving money on the table when given the chance.

    The list goes on.... Kobe can throw shade all he wants, but he has a track record of messing up the Lakers locker room.

    Agreed but Jordan was smarter than Kobe Bean. Jordan realized he could push his teammates for everything they had but he couldn't treat them like crap if he wanted them to play their best.

    Yeah but Kobe isn't good enough to be a tool like that. Jordan was/is the GOAT, that's why he gets away with it.

    Now that Kobe is washed up, he REALLY can't act like that anymore, he's basically irrelevant to the NBA.

    With all this Kobe stuff happening, it makes me think the end is very very near. Obviously his play has declined, but now his mind has too. He no longer has any edge to his game at all.

    You may be right, but it's disrespectful to call out a former teammate like that, that's the point, not that shaq is better.
