L.A. doesn't really need more help than there bench can already give them. The problem is L.A. doesn't always get a good game out of the bench. And to shaq=ignorance to watch the NBA just to see the Lakers lose is sad... Yeah my team lost but we will be back next year. And like another poster said in a different thread,

I don't see how anyone can prod Kobe or anyone else after having lost (or won, for that matter). To these guys, it isn't just basketball; it's a lot more than that. They aren't crying over bonuses missed or trophy spots left empty; this is something that they kill themselves for the entire year - not just during the season.

As someone who's played sports his entire life, I can completely understand it, and, truth be told, I have also broken down after games. The absolute hardest thing to take is to see the biggest guy you know cry like a little girl in the middle of a football field after a championship game.

Cut the man a little slack.
