Doesn't make him any less of an asshole. If Kobe Bryant had said "i've never played with a dominant bigman", the dickweeds like Tom Friend and Plashke would have been crucifiying him as we speak. Hell, they already did everything short of call him the devil for "forcing" out Shaq and Phil (despite the fact that both he and Jerry Buss, and Mitch Kupchak have denied this, but fuck journalistic integrity when we wanna try and ruin three men's reps by calling them liars on a whim. Where is the rolleyes for fucksake. Even Shaq didn't say kobe forced him out ffs). Shaq gets a free ride because he's a funny guy, who has always been accesible to the media and easy to get along with, and i won't deny that. Kobe is much more calculating and reserved and on many occasions doesn't give the media the time of day. All im saying is i'd just like to see these media pricks for once, give their opinions on the basketball issues of this trade, rather than getting all political about it. None of these fucks addresses the fact that 1)Shaq ASKED to be trade, 2)Shaq has a fucking gigantic contract, 3)Shaq makes unreasonable demands 4) Shaq was constantly disprescting the OWNER and gm of the team he works for all season long. Yeah, lets just let that stuff slide cause Shaq makes us laugh, and dogpile on Kobe Bryant because he doesn't stroke our cocks enough.
