The kid has talked the talk he just needs to make sure to back it up when he gets out there. Kobe is still an A-hole
I don't see why Bogut even needed to say anything in the first place. Sure, he has the right to say anything he wants, but it still makes him look like a classless ass, even if what he said was true.
The kid said he disliked the American way, but he's rubbing Kobe while he's down in a very fashionable "American" way, how ironical? When the Lakers were winning, people were so high on Kobe; now that Shaq is gone, they are losing, all of the Kobe is the only one in fault. I guess Shaq and Phil didn't have anything to do with it. If Kobe had played for JVG or Pop, with TD, TMac, KG, none of those firing would happen. Isn't Shaq just the exact same as Kobe? Just his age and 20 some million spoke against him at the time for contract talk, same thing with Phil's 10 million request. It's more of a business decission, nothing more, nothing less. Lakers with Phil and Shaq, and another 3 HOFers last year, couldn't win. What makes you guys think they could win it this year to have Phil and Shaq hanging around? Why not trade Shaq while his value is still high? I would do it with or without Kobe's demand, if I was Buss. I really hate to see media jump on someone when he's down. If you have guts, critisize him while he's hyped as King (see another Jackson), it's just low to jump on the bashing bandwagon when others are down. But, what can I expect from the media?
