He's my favorite basketball player ever. I was too little to see how extraordinary Jordan was. Im 25 and I grew up watching Kobe so Im a huge a fan. I kind of feel the same way. This is the beggining of the end. Its kinda messed up if the Buss' are pushing him out the door. I understand as owners they are looking to replace. But hes got some left in the tank. It further supports Wolfs theory when they traded away Odom and then Fisher. Plus they failed to depthen the bench. Are they purposely sabbotaging the Lakers to ground to get rid of Kobe? Hmmm.
