Not being a Lakers fan, I can really say, I find Kobe very selfish. Define selfish you say? It's all about Kobe. No one else. He didn't give 2 shits about keeping Shaq or Phil there, he only gave a shit about himself, thats selfish.
I love to watch him play, but to compare him to Jordan is just absolutley crazy. Jordan is still heads above Kobe. Kobe will never be Jordan, he will always be Kobe Bryant. Nothing more. Jordan has a physique about him that Kobe will never have. No one will ever have. The sooner people realize there will never be another Jordan, the better off the NBA will be. I lived in Kenosha, WI - about 30 minutes out of Chicago. I grew up watching Jordan on WGN everyday after school, I saw 10-12 live games, I still own some of the ticket stubs. Kobe will never, ever, be Jordan.
I don't hate him, but I certinaly don't enjoy his selfish comments or his antics - on or off the court. While I don't think Lamar Odom works well in that offense, I do think Kobe is good enough single handedly to be able to take that team as is to playoff contention. But they are still at least a season away from being true contenders. And I say a season, because Jerry Buss has made it very clear he's not afraid to open the check book. I wish my boys had a GM like that.
