lola28, you are obviously an educated fan, most folks don't have a problem w/ your type. That's fantastic, and yes the Kings have had some issues (so have the lakers, remember when they had Malone, Payton, Kobe, etc. and STILL couldn't get it done, with possibly the most talented team ever?) What drives so many people nuts about some laker fans (Including many "true" laker fans) are the bandwagon jumpers who no nothing about the sport, act like Kobe is the whole team, have no knowledge that there are other players, and act like because they wear a Laker jersey that somehow that greatness, dedication and talent rubs off on them by association. All teams have fans like this, but L.A being the entertainment mecca of the world is going to produce more of them, hence L.A is a HUGE draw financially, which is going to lead to far more scrutiny w/ blown calls, David Stern etc. So is Kobe and Phil complaining about "superstar treatement" when it comes to other teams. When Kobe has that many rings, when phil has, what, 11? It's going to ring hollow.

Kobe is a HELL of a player, and fun to watch as was Jordan in his heyday. I loved watching Kobe in the olympics, but was bummed when he and Lebron got all the attn., when it was Dwayne Wade who was seriously kicking ass. So it's possible to be a fan and still be driven nuts by some of the bs, especially in the NBA.

A great example of this for me is Bill Walton. He cracks me up, was my favorite player when i was a kid i love that he blazed his own trail (no pun intended) did it his way, but his nepotism, homerism, and general exaggeration occasionally get on my nerves when he's calling a game.

Lola, by your logic, Robert Horry is better than Kobe. He has SEVEN rings, with three different teams, an honor shared by only one other NBA player.
