Kobe Bryant Traded!

Kobe Bryant has become one of the biggest jokes of the NBA. I know he is one of the best players, I guess, but he cannot carry a team like Michael Jordan did. People try to say that Michael Jordan had Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, BJ Armstrong, Tony Kukoc, Ron Harper, and Dennis Rodman. What happened though when all these players went to other teams? They were terrible.

If Kobe Bryant could carry this team it would actually amaze me and then I might consider him to be one of the best players in the league. I know he has a young team but he should be able to carry them more than he is doing. I guarantee you if Michael Jordan was on his team in his prime he would carry them to at least the NBA finals. That’s right, I guarantee you!

The reason why most people even pay attention to him is because he actually did win three NBA finals. Consider that he did have Shaquille O’Neal on his team also. So usually when Kobe Bryant was not having a good game he was able to lean on O’Neal. Plus, Shaquille O’Neal won a championship without Kobe. Once he left, Kobe was left with nothing but himself. All he can do now is learn to depend on himself like Michael Jordan did.

The distractions continue to come considering he did demand a trade. He really needs to realize that this will only bring destructions to the whole team and make them perform worse. I’m sure his teammates do not like him complaining and not wanting to be part of the team. Who would want to help someone like that win again? He said it was misinterpreted but it is still all over You Tube. There is no way anyone could misinterpret that. He wants to be traded!

We’ll really get to see how much it makes a difference when he plays around a bunch of good players for the USA Olympic team. It’s about time that he was not hot headed and think that he could not play for the team anyways. Remember, if it wasn’t for Shaquille O’Neal they would have never have won those championships. He would just be another Michael Redd that scores a lot but no one really talks about because his team is never very good. I know it is so sad, but so true.

I know for the LA fans that it is easy to cheer for someone that did help them win championships. But the rest of our nation sees it all through different eyeglasses. We see the baby that he really is.
