How many of you guys are tired of hearing about Kobe and the Lakers?

How many people are sick of Kobe Bryant?

I really dislike him. I don't even think he's that great of a player. Just shoots a ton.

I guess the Bulls had a trade involving him and Luol Deng. But Kobe turned it down because he wants to play with Deng. Ugh.

He is a great basketball player individually but a horrible teammate and team player. He has more drama than a 9 year old girl.

And no team can afford to pick him up without giving up too much and not being able to contend. I don't blame the Bulls for not giving up their young talent for this guy, you need talent around him to win a championship and he'd take up too much of your money making you a one man show.

He's a great player and a product of his generation.

Kobe is no doubt a wicked player and I don't care if he scores 110 points a game. I hate his face and I hope he loses. If he's playing in the NBA Allstar game or the Olympics, I wish him well and hope he contributes.

I'm not even sure why I hate him. Whenever he talks, I throw up in my mouth a little bit.

Heck yes, I'm sick of him. I could care less about the Lakers too. I just see him as a locker room cancer. It's people like him that make me sick of basketball in general.

Here, take the Should Kobe Stay with the Lakers or be traded Poll:
Blue-Kobe should stay
Red-Kobe should just die

No, the Bulls had trade talks but the Lakers wanted Luol Deng plus Ben Gordon and another guy or so and the Bulls laughed and walked away.

I've followed the NBA for a long time and Kobe Bryant is the best guard in the NBA right now. He shoots a ton but he also plays very good defense etc.

I think Kobe is mainly just frustrated at his situation....which he helped contribute to. In fairness though, his criticisms of Shaq at that time were absolutely correct.

I'd be willing to trade for him as the Bulls but not willing to GUT a young team to add him. I'd give up Ben Gordon and some draft picks....maybe another player like Duhon etc. but not Deng.

X......doesn't seem like we agree on a whole lot, but let me tell you this is DEFINATELY one that we can agree on. Kobe Bryant is the biggest jerk in the history of the NBA. He ran Shaq out of LA because he is a selfish idiot. Guess how that worked out.....the Diesel got another ring. He wants to do everything by himself. He wants all of the spotlight well he has his chance and what did he do with it. Score a lot and win a little. Now he is tired of losing all of the time so he demands that the Lakers bring some more talent in......PLEASE!!!! What a moron. I hate his guts. I for one happen to like the direction that the Bulls are going and I dont want that cancerous idiot anywhere near it.

Kobe v Shaq was a while ago and I think Kobe has matured some since then.
Additionally, alot of his comments about Shaq were actually quite accurate.
If you watched Shaq the year after he left for Miami he showed up at training camp about 40lbs lighter and hungry to prove something. In LA he'd gotten bored, complacent, whatever but he was not playing to his level there.

I would give up Gordon and like Duhon, picks etc. for Kobe.

I've not heard anything negative about Kobe as a teamate other than the Shaq thing and he certainly has a big work ethic.
