this is brilliant.. and they have ALL been brainwashed.
Kobetards are really their own species..
Kobe has taken credit for SO MUCH..
one might even imagine that in their first championship together... vs. IND.
that Shaq did not average 38 PPG.. while Kobe averaged only 13 PPG
that ring belongs 100% to Kobe in the minds-eye of Kobetard.
it truly is an astonishingly skewed paradigm through which they view these events.
The reason, i believe, is that Kobe presses the psychological buttons that provide the most satisfaction...
and that is why he has become the embodiment of the rings.. his behavior reflects inner feelings that Kobetards wish to experience..
that is "nobody but me".. or "I Rule".. etc..
though Gasol and Bynum were largely responsible for the last two rings..
(all rebounding, and most of the points combined) they never have behaved as though it was exclusively them, or even them at all, they were not permitted to.
The problem for Kobe, and "de facto" the Lakers.. is that he has come to believe all of his own hype.
He does not see (and never has) ANY problem whatsoever with his method of play, or his demeanor towards his reluctant and now transient teammates.
all these players have left.. for less money,Dwight Howard took $30M less
in guaranteed salary to leave the city that was tops on his trade list,
and most recently of course Gasol took a pay cut to play in the East,
smart move Pau..
