That could be said about any team.

No you're wrong. Kobe was there for 3 years before Shaq. L2 wikipedia or something haha.
Do your research man, they both joined the Lakers for the 1996-1997 NBA season.

The idea is that he draws a lot of negative attention to himself, intentional and otherwise.
I won't dispute this, though I also don't care what he does off the court. He's a fantastic player and essential to my favorite team, thus I'm a big fan of his.

Kobe and Shaq both arrived in LA in 1996

Kobe via trade on draft day when LA sent Vlade Divac to Charlotte for the rights to the #13 pick Kobe Bean Bryant and Shaq via free agency from Orlando.

I'm talking centers/power forwards, not point forwards.

Turns out you were wrong.

I stand my my point that Kobe Bryant is the most overrated player in the league. There are so many other great players out there who make their teammates better to give this guy any credit for wanting to shoot every time down the floor.

p.s. The Lakers would be pretty damn solid w/o Kobe Bryant. They would still have Gasol, Odom, Bynum, Fisher, and Walton, whatever that foreign guy with the girl haircut's name is and Phil Jackson as a coach. Kobe is just really good at providing the illusion that he is the team. In reality, he's a taller and perhaps slightly more egotistical Allen Iverson, and nothing more.

Wow Brad Miller, seriously? Probably cost the Bulls their season.

He looked like such a bitch, he looked like he was crying and seemed like a little baby that got hit...God.

Cut him slack, it was blatantly a flagrant foul and he missed a shot that may have cost the Bulls their season, how would you feel after that? If it had been a flagrant foul he wouldn't have felt such pressure and maybe made the two. Pisses me off though, I hate the Celtics.

Idk, it didn't really look like he got hit that hard, just like a little push in the face.

I knew the commentator jinxed it when he said they've made their last 16/16.

They have too many turnovers in general though, like Rose's pass to Noah that went out, and then he like tripped.
