It’s getting more and more difficult to continue to hold Kobe in the highest light. After voicing his discontents on so many levels, and taking on his present wishy-washy attitude, it’s tough to believe Kobe is still one-hundred percent about our beloved Los Angeles Lakers. This ominous shadow forming over Kobe does, however, make it easier to see other players.
Players such as LeBron James, Tim Duncan, Dwayne Wade, and Kevin Garnett are getting a little more positive light. Bryant’s mood swings and calls for action have made these other players seem much more honorable and respected; on the court and off. We’ve got LeBron bringing the Cavaliers to their first NBA Finals, Duncan playing the major role in the Spurs’ third NBA Finals in five years, and Wade’s smiling and polished public persona. Meanwhile, dear Kobe is simply giving us a big, fat headache. Come on bud, buck up! This will surely be a paramount season, so get your Los Angeles Lakers tickets today.
