| Kobe is getting exactly what he deserves for forcing the Laker front office to choose between him and Shaq. Sure Shaq is partially to blame for how the whole thing eventually went down, but Kobe's ego got the better of him. Shaq would have been content to sit in LA and win title after title after title and all he wanted was some damn acknowledgement from Kobe for what Shaq brought to the team. I hope Kobe never even sniffs the Western Conference Finals again, let alone makes it to the Finals. |
