Just full of emtion that i had to get out about kobe i have watched and loved the Lakers for 22 of my 31 years of life i have always felt as if that they where how a professional organization should be run they improved themselves thru the drafts and were loyal to their players which in turn got them loyalty from the players even when players had to leave they always held the organization in high regard now that was before and after jerry not saying he was not a big part of that still it was one of the things that made the lakers different from other clubs. When the lakers signed shaq i was excited but have never been a shaq fan as he has always been i felt a drama king even going back to his college days he seemed to me to have a me first attitude which having played team sports i detest because those guys typically want credit for the wins but never want to share in defeats was always taught that if your teammate had a weakness you cover for that as you yourself have a weakness that other teammates had to cover for just simply put there where no perfect players so in the whole kobe shaq debate i had always sided with kobe as there where reports of just terrible things that shaq did and said about kobe furthering my dislike of a person who claimed to want to be a leader but did not show that kind of ability that a great leader should have needless to say i backed kobe but now i am just tired of all the drama people are blaming the busses and mitch but listen i used to say how boring tim duncan was and how i did not feel he was an hof level player now i see i was wrong he is the type of player that has no ego wants to win but doesn,'t blast the organization for it when they dont his teams while on paper not the most talented but they play together i just miss that with the lakers even the bling dynasty you always felt that when they where playing well what would happen to ruin it i just want to go back to the time when the team plays together and play with passion look i would rather watch the lakers with magic, divac ,woolridge,scott, worthy and perkins play the one dunleavy coached to the finals against the bulls they were not the most talanted but had the 2ndbest record in the league because magic did not look around and say hey management i need so and so to help me win he just went out and played hard and the team followed his lead thats what i want kobe to be maybe he will get there maybe i just dont want any more drama this team is talented as talented as any in the league it it young but is talented so give them time to learn to play and respect just becasue some reporter says how horrible we are and some fans who claim to be feel we stink doesnt mean we will and if these so called experts where really experts they would be gms and scouting officials making millions of dollars and not reporters go lakers no drama play together and look out for your teammate
