Kobe Bryant simmered, but Jerry Buss stayed patient.
The short-term struggles the Lakers experienced during the post-Shaq era disturbed Bryant so much that he demanded a trade. But Buss refused.
The frustration on the organization’s direction bothered Bryant so much that he even once called Buss an “idiot.” But the late Lakers owner took no offense.
Calling Jerry Buss an idiot
His son showing what an idiot really is
Kobe with the nostradamus goods tbh. I like Bynum's game but he's someone else's problem now.
Last week, CBS Sports' Ken Berger introduced us to an elusive Lakers scout named "Chaz," who apparently was hired by the team because of his buddy-buddy relationship with Jim Buss, the oft-criticized son of Lakers owner Jerry Buss. "A good guy," Berger quoted one NBA front office employee as saying about Chaz, and "great bartender."

Kirby with the wannabe-GM bads, tbh.... his selfishness would never have worked with a point guard like Kidd![]()
I knew ud like that
“Kobe will tell you, he’s like, ‘Look, you guys as my teammates, yell at me. Let me know that you’re open because I’m so programmed,’” Jamison told ESPN LA radio. “And this guy has told me this. ‘I see nothing but that basket. You could be open. It could be three guys on me. But the only thing I see is that basket. So, you have to tell me, Look, I was open. Or yell at me in mid-play.’ He said, ‘That doesn’t affect me at all, and I respect that.’ So, you know, I’ve dealt with Gilbert, who, ‘Look, I’m going to shoot with three guys on me, and that’s it.’”compared to Gilbert Arenas
Uh-oh. Kobe Bryant might have found a loophole in this whole "teammate" thing.
The Black Mamba showed it off Tuesday night versus the Houston Rockets. Driving the lane but stuck with no room to shoot, he tossed the ball off the bottom of the backboard, caught it and laid it in.
Who says Kobe doesn't pass the ball?
"I should get an assist for that," Bryant said Wednesday from his car. "It's an intentional pass to oneself, so it's an assist. That way people can't say all I do is shoot."
-"Not true," Kobe says. "Chris would've created shots for me. I wouldn't be shooting 29 times a game. I'd be shooting 40. Man, what would people be saying THEN?"
We'll never know. Paul was Kobe's teammate for only half an hour or so in December. Then NBA commissioner David Stern killed the very deal he helped engineer.
