And this is why I don't like Kobe.

  Apparently Kobe is a big Yankees fan (Guess him and LeBron can bond over it). Anyways, he's quoted as saying after the game that the move to pull A-Rod was bad for the team chemistry.
  

  I don't like that. That's not good for the chemistry of the team. I'm going to have to call A-rod.

  To me this just continues to show what a lot of people already know what is true. Kobe is more concerned about an individual over the team. How is the team making the right choice and essentially benching a star in a situation that he struggles a bit for a player who should and does perform better in that instance bad for the team? The team won because of the move, which is typically great for chemistry. Stubbornly sticking with stars because they are stars is bad for the team.
  
  It all goes back to the old saying. There is no "I" in Team. I don't think Kobe every truly learned that lesson.

  Kobe is not respectable.
  
  There is an "I" in Ibanez.

  Kobe sounds like a really piece of shit, dude needs to get over himself
  

  "Midway through the first season, I tried to at least have a conversation with Kobe Bryant — he is my teammate, he is a co-worker of mine, I see his face every day I go in to work — and I tried to talk with him about football. He tells me I can't talk to him. He tells me I need more accolades under my belt before I come talk to him. He was dead serious. [...]
