this win tonight puts the Lakers into one of the weirdest dilemmas i have ever seen a team be put in. its Glaringly obvious that Kobe is a net minus at this point. he is malcontent, and was just shown to be blaming his teammates for not practicing intensely recently. it all adds up to something crazy happening at some point.
Kobe is ridiculous. He skips practices himself and when he does actually practice, he calls his teammates Charmin. Then he proceeds to take a night off because he's not Charmin
I can imagine Swaggy P to his teammates before the game: "Psst. Hey let's win this one and stick it to Kobe."
Kobe is doing exactly what he need to do, chucking his way to lottery and get high draft pick for Lakers. The rest of guys still don't get it and not willing to tank and sacrifice their stats. Kobe is the ultimate team player.
The other players might be Charmins, but what Kobe doesn't understand is that he's a piece of crap stuck to the anus and the Charmins are asked to clean him up.
Kobe ranked last on DRPM ... it says sth indeed. http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/rpm/_/page/3/sort/DRPM/position/2

He has a big mouth, also throws teammates under the bus, at this point he is plain old and cannot practice every minute as he used to do. "Old age". Wear and tear on the body

lol, I feel like that is a strategic insult. "Run after a career loser so you can ends yours like him too"
No he would not have tried to win with kwame. He ask for a trade. It us amazing how he tries to rewrite history.
