    Nobody is forgetting that game. It's Kobe's "Toronto game." He is totally willing to throw away a playoffs series just to proof that his team needs him. Sure Kobe wants to win. But he only wants to win with him being the hero. If he really wanted to win so badly, he wouldn't have run Shaq out of town (not that Shaq was a choir boy, mind you).

    Kobe's ego is on another planet. Only in that sense is he Jordanesque. It's funny how much polar opposites Kobe and LeBron are and how they were still the best in their class no matter how they approached the game.

    It just bugs me when people use Kobe as the benchmark and poster child for his generations will to win and determination.

    kobe's ego and selfishness is his strength and his weakness.

    it makes him who he is.
