MrCleo · May 30, 2007

listening to espn radio, heard interview live.

Kobe said he wants to be traded, and NOTHING LAKERS CAN DO to repair the relationship. DOES NOT WANT TO BE IN LA NEXT SEASON

he didn't beat around the bush at all

this is separate from his comments a couple days ago about wanting Jerry West back

crunch99 · May 30, 2007

Kobe: "I would like
to be traded."

Bryant, interviewed by Stephen A. Smith, was asked if there was anything the Lakers could do to change his mind.

"No," Bryant said. "I just want them to do the right thing."

koby is a dick..he ruined the lakers teams by demanding certain players be traded and he want to play with certain players....maybe he realizes now that he should never wanted to be the only star and demand shaq be traded..maybe he realizes he is not as good as he thinks he is and could not carry that team to a title on his own...no I in team koby..trade him to the knicks so he can rot in NY with the rest of those losers :aktion033

Kobe Is By Far The Best Player In The Nba

Read The Whole Story On Espn.com. Kobe Never Wanted Shaq Traded. Now, Even Shaq Is Saying That It Wasn't Kobe, It Was Dr Buss.

crunch99 · May 30, 2007

Oh this is a new one. My bad.

Well, I've been saying all along that Kobe had the worst supporting cast and that frustration finally boiled over.

I think Bitch Kutcake will make a trade for Garnett or Gasol and Kobe will be satisfied. It'll be resolved, don't worry.

MistaFlava · May 30, 2007

isn't this his usual off-season drama anyways?

RobFunk · May 30, 2007

Send him to Boston, I mean he's already got our fan support for crying out loud.

TonyMar · May 30, 2007

Yep...

Pretty interesting stuff...

Looks like Buss pissed Bryant off when he had someone leak those lies to to the LA Times...

Bryant just threw the owner under the bus...no pun intended...coming clean on why O'Neal was traded.

Journeyman · May 30, 2007

Philly would be nice, they're definitely moving in the right direction now.

Yes.

1. Kobe

2. Lebron

And I'm sticking to it

Kobe is easily the best player in the game, he probably has atleast 5 years left around his current level...he could concievably go to a new team and win a few more rings...I can't see it happening in L.A. anytime soon.

I don't think Jack Nicholson will ever see another championship in his life.
