Interesting that he said several teammates rolled their eyes and gave him a bad look after Kobe walked away. His teammates must not really respect him.
I hope this hasn't already been posted--I thought it was pretty insightful.

Thanks for posting this article, foodie.
Just looking at Kobe makes me ill, so it was interesting to read schilling's take - especially since he was viewing this through non-biased eyes.
I can imagine KB wears on the nerves of his teammates. I doubt he's turned over the new leaf he's been bragging about.
Sure he can score alot of points, but it doesn't make him a leader.
Kobe as MVP was a joke, in my eyes.
OK...I'm done now.
Interesting to hear what he had to say about Gasol as well, "A 7-footer who grab 4 rebounds and ed about every call all night". Just more reasons for me not to want the Lakers to win. I doubt the Lakers can keep everyone they want to keep if they don't win and Kobe is grating on people's nerves like that.
Astute observation.
Can't blame his teammates after the way Kobe threw them all under the bus before the season started.
Wait! According the media, Kobe "changed" this year!
u cant buy respect for 8k watches...
bag shouldve known better....
Obviously Schilling never had courtside seats to any of Michael Jordans games....
WOW, I hope that was some weird celebration.
Ive looked at it and it doesn't appear that Radman or that assitant coach are in a joyful mood.
Kobe's an asshole Shilling's an asshole. They are both great players. Who gives a .
I don't know how anyone could take that type of behavior. If that was me, he definately would've gotten an elbow as a response.
I've seen Kobe act like this towards his teammates way before Schilling ever pointed it out.
difference is, MJ would carry his team to wins.
There is the whole blog:

Starts to actually talk about the NBA around the 5th paragraph.
I also think the reason Kobe is a to his teammates is because he really wants to win, I've read many articles on Kobe's compe ive nature and his love for basketball/winning so this is not suprising, Jordan was the exact same way. I remember reading an SI article and a quote that stuck out to me was when Kobe was asked about Pop and Kobe responded that he looks forward to being coached under him again and go through his rigorous practices again.
This is news?
This is the Lakers people. This is their persona.
wow how can he get away with this
Damn... Someday someone might loose his nerves and hit back.
He confirms my thoughts and perceptions every time I watch him, absurd conduct at the very least.
