    He's been around forever. Has considerable power, but needs to constantly rest up to recharge. Frequently fails and blames his failure on members of his team. Thoughts?

    Translation: Kobe is better for the Lakers sitting on the bench than playing on the floor.

    I think Kobe's been more like Cobra Commander these recent years.

    Black mamba should retire and join Nash , retire and play golf.
    If he really needs to take that many shots, do it on the golf course .
    No one really cares how many mulligans you take when you play golf.
    You can chuck all day.

    Mamba needs to recharge, back to the sarcophagus.

    But seriouisly, I wonder how bad Kobe's knees are right now. This can't just be general fatigue. Sound more like a chronic injury that the Lakers are just refusing to acknowledge publicly.

    Are we sure the Lakers are tanking? Maybe they're just trying to win the game.

    Wow, Kobe sitting again tonight to rest. What a soft ass b****, how has nobody called him out like they did Dwight when he was coming off back surgery.

    QOTY, RIP Swyguy

    Kobe will probably sit until these Charmin lost a game and he comes out as a savior which probably happen after today's game.

    Well Scott claims it's his call: maybe he's just trying to win.

    Knowing how competitive he is, I feel sorry for him.

    Knowing that he plays for the Lakers, smiling politely.
