And yes, Kobe wants to win with role players and subordinates around him. Nash and Pau were betas who are basically dormats..and will put up with that garbage. but Nash clearly regrets it..and Pau jumped ship first chance he could get..Dwight and Shaq..weren't having it...funny thing is...Lebron might very well put up with Kobe's shit..as Lebron is very passive..he's the only superstar in the league that might have tolerated it...but then theres this.....

This was the text from Kobe to LeBron: “Go ahead and get another MVP, if you want. And find the city you want to live in. But we’re going to win the championship. Don’t worry about it.”
