And I hope all the Kobe/MJ comparisons stop now. Like I've said many times, Kobe isn't even in MJ's zip code, let alone country. Kobe won't ever be the player MJ was because of his selfishness, lack of leadership skills, and inconsistent play both offensively and defensively. Dude just isn't as good as a lot of people say. Anyone who takes Kobe's side should is ignorant. It's not legitament. You won't win.
And I hope we all got a chance to see the Lakers win those titles these last couple of years, because it won't be happening again for awhile. This team is done together. Kobe won't be back, he'll either be in jail or playing for another team. Payton will leave. Phil Jackson is tired of these malcontents that won't listen to him, is it that hard to give Shaq the ball, Kobe? You're not as good as Shaq! Malone won't be back because no one else is coming back. Shaq is staying but that's about it. They're done.

Cody,
Kobe is only 25 won't be 26 until August. Michael did not win his first NBA championship until he was 28 in 1992 (born 63). Kobe already has 3 at age 25 and 4 finals appearences. That selfishness will likely disappear with age and maturity something he does not have as of yet. You sell Kobe short when you forget how young he is and what he has already accomplished.
