    How can he teach/show Dwight how to be a champion when his Lakers, even with Dwight, has little to no chance of becoming one.

    If Kobe had his druthers he woulda been AWOL from that meeting/presentation, but, he owes Buss & he owes NY. for them siding him when he raped. He just rattled off something he read in "Shake Down the Thunder" and then went to a massage parlor on Wilshire.
    ^ Bingo....Kobe was just giving face time to a situation he wanted no parts of...and helping Buss out...if you're astute at all his response is clearly telling Dwight without being so obvious: " Off "

    lastly...Kobe's response is also why I think the guy's a genius...if you read it carefully especially this quote:
    "Instead of trying to do things your way, just listen and learn and tweak it, so it fits you," Bryant told him.
    he's clearly sending signals to everyone that Dwight was the reason for the team's failure last year....it seems Kobe has washed his hands of this clown...let's face it...Kobe's confidence comes from b2b no Shaq so it goes without reason that he can win without a dominant big...

    Dwight's already got the diva act down pat. Making fake angry videos and throwing your teammates under the bus ain't going to bring the most loaded front court in the league, nor a player who has better Win shares than you during championship runs.

    In other words, Kobe can't teach Dwight anything Dwight doesn't already master already.

    If thats true, if Kobe WANTS Dwight to leave then the Lakers are incredibly stupid for inviting him to that meeting.

    Stolen from Twitter: Kobe's played 17 seasons for 8 different coaches. He's only won rings w Phil. Maybe it's Phil that needs to teach Dwight how to win.

    Everyone knows Kobe is an egomaniac and a stubborn SOB. If anything, at least he's being honest with Dwight instead of spitting out some lies about how things will be different and he'll let Dwight have more control and touches. That would be worse imo, and no one, including Dwight, would believe that bull anyway. Dwight may leave in part because of what Kobe said, but you can't say Kobe was being pretentious trying to get him to re-sign. In fact, if Kobe kissed his ass in the meeting trying to woo him to re-sign, Kobe haters would have made fun of Kobe for doing that. Maybe Kobe is daring Dwight to leave. And if he does, then he does. But if he re-signs, you can be sure Dwight will know his place and rank. Good or bad, smart or stupid, helpful or harmful, as long as he's still playing, Kobe ain't giving up control of the team to Dwight or anyone else.

    Kobe has his many faults, but when it comes to Dwight, or anyone else on the Lakers, Kobe won't cower. It is what it is.

    That was exactly the wrong kind of speech to give to Dwight Howard. He wants to be happy, to feel wanted, to win. Instead he hears, "Sack up, get in line behind me, obey what you are told. I dare you to leave." He is 100% gone at this point. Never been more sure of anything NBA in my life. Probably Houston bound but we will see.

    That's how the Suns have operated for, well forever.

    ---

    There is nothing "happy" about striving for a ring, a championship quest is nothing but misery, sacrifice and the specter of total loss hanging over you, constantly. Howard will have to change, in Los Angeles, or, elsewhere, or, he'll end up like Barkley, on a TnT set with Smith and that smug in' look on his face that Barkley will take to his grave.

    I so love how Bosh opened up during the Indiana battle. Questioning himself while confessing to "us," doubting himself whether he could do this again. Go back to the painted face and the dark heart that it took to win his first, in what seemed a time warp of a week ago when it reality it was multiple months! He wasn't prepared go there again, but, had no other choice...stay and be defeated, or, put on the face paint and blacken the heart. He so wanted to give in and go back to the buying sprees and endless vacations. So where did he find the strength and resolve to turn his back on defeat that was seducing & beckoning him and in the end find himself rebounding a shot and enabling another? I have no earthly idea, but, Howard is so far from where Bosh has been.

    Kobe just doesn't want Dwight back. He knows this will rub him the wrong way. But it's a win win for Kobe's ego. Dwight stays and the Lakers win, Kobe takes credit for turning him into a champion. Dwight leaves, Kobe proves his alpha dog status in his mind. Dwight wasn't man enough to take the challenge. This is how egomaniacs narcissists operate.
