kellinatorPacino moment!! "Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in!"
That damn NBA. I've actually done a fairly good job of keeping my pledge to not watch the rest of these tainted playoffs, when my favorite punching bag comes to the rescue with a metric fuckton of the wanktastic drama that makes it Spoiled Millionaires Theater!
Kobe Bryant throws hissy fit, demands trade
Oh, how sweet it is... Karma train, choo choo choo choo! Wow! Kobe must really hate not hearing his name on SportsCenter during the playoffs! I guess he doesn't want to be The Man that bad after all!
While I don't doubt that Jerry Buss didn't want to pay Shaq, Kobe's been caught not telling the truth too many times for me to put much stock in what he says. And not only is he demanding a trade, he wants to pick the team too! Is that your entitlement complex in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
Man, I couldn't write it this entertaining. Kobe doesn't want to sleep in the bed he's made. Oh BWAHAHAHAHAAAAA.

Date: 2007-05-31 03:51 am (UTC)Other than that, the Clipper guys were pretty cool. On this particular day, they were still steaming about Kobe Bryant's contract, the latest groin-kick for a jinxed franchise. For most of June and July, free-agent Kobe and his agents led the Clippers to believe he would sign with them. He wanted a fresh start. He wanted a new team. Or so he said. And Team Kobe kept saying the right things, to the point that the Clips gave away two fringe rotation guys (Melvin Ely and Eddie House) to clear extra cap space for him. On July 14, the night before the big announcement, Kobe changed his mind and stayed with the Lakers. To this day, the Clippers don't know what happened. They have their theories, none of which I feel comfortable printing here. But you couldn't help them for feeling betrayed. Whether they should have trusted someone with Kobe's track record is another matter.
From http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/041201, it's a fun read.
