kobe isn't supportive of others. Remember in the all-star game (essentially meaningless, only for the fans), when Kobe was guarding Lebron at the buzzer. Lebron passes the ball to wade or whoever, and he misses the shot. Lebron's team loses.
instead of enjoying the win, and knowing his defense kept lebron from shooting the game-winner, and knowing FULL WELL that every camera in the building would be on the kobe/lebron interaction... Kobe starts telling him "You take that shot, you don't pass that", etc.
Lebron felt bad enough. He didn't need Kobe to "remind" him to take the shot. Kobe is one of the best defenders in the league at the time, draped all over lebron on a telegraphed jumper from outside the 3 stripe. Only a damn fool would take that shot with a man open. Kobe couldn't just win... he had to punk lebron for the cameras, chiding him for showing good judgment.
Other players see that. Lebron is never going to that team. Others see it too. He has a negative energy, he's shady, he makes people feel like shit all the time. these NBA players are going to get the same $ anywhere they go, more or less. Why go to a place where an entitled punk like kobe is always on their shit? Kobe is insecure, always has been. He was 18 years old, visiting community colleges where I lived in sarasota, punking 5 foot nothing Billy Ho's, making fun of them in front of reporters. He'd still do that.
One of his teammates broke a finger in a practice while getting physical with Kobe. Instead of saying "oh crap, let's adjust practice, we need this man healthy for game 1, I feel bad our TEAM sustained this injury".... instead of that, Kobe joked about hey, I'm made of steel, what do you expect? He's trying to get props for an injured rookie... on his OWN TEAM lol.
Its always been all about kobe. Had his ass kissed since birth, been a millionaire since birth, always basketball royalty. He had every tool to end up with 8 or 10 titles. If he keeps shaq, he easily has 2 or 3 more titles, no doubt about it. If he's not a dick, he has Love and Melo or Bron coming to LA right now.
