| I wonder how much of this was triggered by watching Lebron carry a mediocre Cavs team close to the finals over the last week. Its gotta be frustrating for Kobe seeing that, when he knows even though he's the better player he'd never be able to carry a team (with no other stars) like that so far in the west. If this Cavs team was in the west they probably don't get out of the first round either.
There's some speculation that Kobe is doing this to get Jerry West back in LA too now that he has stepped down from his Memphis gig. If that happened Kobe would be much more optomistic that things would get done sooner than later. |
