Sources: Kobe returning to Lakers

[LEONARD]

Kobe staying on the Lakers, how original, never seen that one before.

If the Lakers win the championship...

I'll leave this forum for life.

I am doing this to prove to everyone how much of a non-factor the Lakers are in the playoffs. They haven't accomplished anything. They just want to come out, shoot some hoops, and BS their way to everything. Not going to get it done in the Finals. Orlando will win the championship. There are no All-Stars other than Kobe on this Laker team. Not an intimidating lineup. Just a bunch of a jump shooters who score off Kobe double teams.

Pussy...

Frontrunning at its finest. KG may act an ass more often than not, but he was willing to gut it out in Minnesota just to have an opportunity to see the franchise re-resurrect itself (not saying the money wasn't a bit of a factor as well) while Bryant had a mid-career crisis having already won 3 rings.

Who wouldnt want out of a team starting Luke Walton, Smush Parker, and Kwami Brown?

KG worked with less and still didn't . Kobe acted like a spoiled brat with a playoff team and 3 rings in his dresser drawer.

So Kobe was ing about losing...but it's ok for KG to act tough to small players, be a against big players, and talk to the Bulls after a Celticswin he had nothing to do with? ok.

And since when should players stop wanting to win after they win a few?

KG might be an ass on the court, but Kobe has proven himself to be an ass on and off of it.

-He ed about the team assembled around him knowing he wasn't going to be traded and was going to have to suit up with those same players at some point

-He wanted to disassemble components of the team the year before practically that same team got him to the Finals, but made no mention about the matter after seeing how far they could....very two-faced.

-He threw ownership under the bus via any media outlet that would hear his plea when they were the ones that gave him a chance to win les (especially by allowing him develop when he was pretty bad).
