So, in the last ten hours, the person who is supposedly the most popular player in the NBA, L.A. Laker, Kobe Bryant, has said he was lied to, wants to be traded, and now has back tracked on his request.

Personally, I think he's a whining self-serving ball hog who doesn't know the concept of team play. In my opinion, the Lakers would be better off without him. In fact, Kobe Bryant is one reason I'm an L.A. Clipper fan, and no longer give a damn about whether the Lakers win lose or make the playoffs.

I do hope my glee of a Kobe-less Los Angeles is not ill-advised or premature. He'd be one of many celebrities this city could do without.
