Damn.
Oh, well.
Kobe shouldn't have mentioned Shaq's name to the cops, and Shaq shouldn't have cheated on his wife. It's easy to blame Kobe, but he has to accept responsibility for what he's done, too.
At the same time, I'm not surprised Kobe mentioned Shaq's name to the cops; I don't think people realize just how bad Kobe and Shaq's relationship was. Shaq, in a practice, tried to get Kobe traded in his second season with the Lakers. Shaq wanted Kobe to stand-down so he could be the one and only face of the Lakers("I'm too big to ride in anybody's back seat" - Shaq). Kobe, on the other hand, wanted to be the man on the team. Two bull-headed dudes, wanting to be the man...
...their is bound to be bad blood. In Shaq's defense, Kobe wasn't willing to wait his turn. In Kobe's defense, Shaq hates sharing the spotlight. That's why he and Penny didn't get along. Penny was starting to get some fame, too. The only problem is, Kobe is ten times more ambitious than Penny was...
Kobe wanted his own team, and now he has it. I know people say he'll never win a ring; but, coming up two games short in the Finals isn't exactly the sign of a guy who doesn't have the potential to seriously contend for a championship.
Unfortunately, I'm trying to be reasonable, and most of you dudes want to "



Fuck that snitch ass nigga Kobe! I hope that nigga die from testicular cancer from fucking that spic ass bitch!"
Oh, well.
