Kobe still selfish

Has Kobe's heart thawed for Bynum? Hell no!


So the sage continues fo water in my apartment. I’ve found that I’m also the only one in the complex to have this problem because, yes, my apartment is connected to the same water supply as the washer machines.

And no one’s complained about their laundry yet. Hmmmm…

Anyway, it IS really freezing out there, so I guess the maintenance guys do have a little bit of an excuse on their end. Still, I’d like to be able to use the toilet, take a shower, and drink today.

So there’s the update, and, now, on to the really good stuff – basketball!

An article in the LA Times this morning says Kobe Bryant’s heart is not made of stone. It’s a good thing to know, especially for teammates wondering why he’s not hitting them off the triple team.

Apparently, Kobe wished injured center Andrew Bynum the best, adding: "We're a championship-caliber team with him in the lineup."

Time reporter Mark Heisler says Kobe talking about a championship post-O’Neal is like Tim Burton making a movie without Helena B. Carter.

Well, that is, at least until recently.
“For the first time since demanding a trade last spring and excoriating management, Bryant tipped off a change of his no longer cold, dead-beating, two-timing, double-dealing, mean mistreating, loving heart.

Always stubborn, almost always controlled, Bryant rarely gives hints, even with teammates or Phil Jackson, but there has been no missing his thaw.”
I personally like “mean mistreating” the most. I always thought of the cat as selfish, and his comment about a championship doesn’t really change it. As a matter of fact, it might’ve actually caused me to question his caring about others even more.

When a Lakers reporter admits Kobe’s selfishly self-agrandizing flaws, there’s no question that Kobe’s all about me me me.

When talking about Bynum getting healthy, is Kobe really concerned for his boy’s health or more about his chances for winning another chip.

Certainly Kobe has turned around his smack talk about demanding a trade now that he see Bynum’s potential to dominate the paint. Kobe thinks Bynum can get him another championship.

And he sure hopes Bynum can return to full health so they can get it done soon.
