Ok, here's a rant
I really hope that the Lakers lose, and it's mainly because the karma that exudes from just one player is enough to make me despise the whole team. Whereas Shaq was a funny and chill guy, Kobe is an asshole. Kobe raped a girl, believe what you want about that, the fact in my opinion is he did rape her. Now, the media lets him have a free pass. Fucking stupid man. And then Kobe Bryant on the court is almost as much of an embarrassment. I think Kobe has one mission every game, maybe two. One is to see how few times throughout the course of a game he can pass the ball and another is to see how close to triple digits he can get in shot attempts. When he made the game-tying trey the other night to tie the game at that point at 99, he had the ball and was stationary for like ten seconds with a guy in his face so he just shot it anyway, right in 'Melo's face. Sure, the shot went in, but that's not basketball. He didn't even look for a teammate. He's like well I'm mr. too good for the rest of my team.
May Kobe die a violent death.
