i really think that his brand will wane in his absence.. it will certainly be diminished
when (if) he returns and hobbles through 12 minutes of play..

he won't be able to go to the basket, and is already miserable from beyond the arc...
he is shooting UNDER 20% form deep, since the All-Star break..

i do not expect that to improve... so what will be left in his game...?
except forcing things and tarnishing his legacy..

you must understand that Laker fans ARE ADDICTED to winning... more so than other fans..
because of the good fortune*of having Jerry West draft for so many years,
and having a TON of MONEY to sign and KEEP those*players happy.

Fans will turn on Kobe if they determine that his Salary is limiting the options available to the laker franchise.
nobody wants to lose.. and i believe it is especially frustrating for Laker fans..*

Yankee fans have a similar dilemma in MLB

Kobe just jizzed on your face now there's a little bit of *** juice in your eye.
